Thanks Steven- I actually have another similar build out of cedar that I like better than this one. I’d suggest checking that out before you commit. Good luck on your project!
Thank you for sharing your build , and I really like the simplicity of the design. One suggestion I would have made during the construction would be to use a round over bit on a router to ease the rough edges on the the top prior to finishing with stain and poly. Keep up the good work!
Nathan, very nice, honest video. I was looking for videos to build a dining table, yours was the only one that most people could do. The other videos I watched, they had machinery that, to purchase, it would be cheaper to buy a table. I've been done some projects for our new house and I will try your table. Thank you for the time and effort to put this video together Take care!
Thanks! I have two outdoor sofa builds so check both out - the most recent had both SketchUp and plans. Let me know how your build goes and send me a finished pic on Instagram if your are on there!
Hey- here are the different measurements and a link to a SketchUp file of you want to see the CAD drawing: Cut list: 4x - 1.5x3 - 1' 2 1/2" - legs vertical 4x - 1.5x3 - 2' 1/2" - legs horizontal 1x - 1.5x3 - 3' 10 1/2" - bottom stretcher 7x - 1.5x3 - 4' 5" - slats 2x - 1.5x2.5 - 4' 5" - end slats SketchUp file: bit.ly/outdoortablesketchup
I'm new to woodwork, could someone explain to me if those stretchers would be a problem for the contracting and expansion of the bottom leg? From what I've read, this would cause cracks in the wood?
Hi! Wood movement is definitely something to be aware of, however in this case it is not a problem. Wood moves primarily across the width of a board and not much with the length. Also these boards are relatively thin so the max movement possible is not that great. If I had glued a full tabletop together then screwed it into the legs it probably would have been a problem for the top. But with the small top slats, they have room to expand and contract on either side thanks to the cracks between each board.
Thanks! The wood was not treated since I wanted to stain and poly it, but you could make this with treated wood - just might not look as nice and probably wouldn't age well.
Great job. I’m going to use your frame but top will be cedar. I have some left over from my deck box.
Good job woodworking brother.

perfect for what we needed it for
Great design! Simple yet sturdy. I think I'll make it with my scrap lumber

Great idea! I don't think I had a router when I built this :)
I literally start watching this video with a Modelo on my hand 👌🏻👌🏻 cheers
Great way to start many things.

Thanks for the feedback Renato! I hope your project goes well. If you are on Instagram send me a finished picture of it :)
Muito lindo coloque as medidas de cima e de baixo
The chill afterwards was priceless 😂
Excellent, very simple and beautiful.
Thanks for watching Muneef!
Well done! I'm a complete beginner and want to make an outdoor armless sofa. I think I can modify this to make one and save some money. Thanks!

Que buen video gracias por compartir tu conocimiento
Thanks for watching!
did you use 2x4 timber is that strong enough for outdoor you made easy and simple to make love it.
I would definitely suggest cedar, or make sure you use a good outdoor finish. But to answer your question, yes this was made if 2x4s.
Could you scale up this plan for a dining table?
Definitely. Depending how large, you might want different sized supports though.
Thanks so much for sharing your excellent video! What measures will be the legs for a patio table?

nice vid
Thanks for watching!
Awesome job well explaned!!!! Just one question is the wood treated?
Thanks! The wood was not treated since I wanted to stain and poly it, but you could make this with treated wood - just might not look as nice and probably wouldn't age well.
neat
On an average, what size pocket screws would you say you use the most? Great video by the way 👍😀
Definitely 2.5" outdoor rated and 1.25" which works for .75" plywood.
Bonito bom gosto parabéns brasil pf vc devia colocar as medidas largura das madeiras de cima e os pés
Thanks! All dimensions are in the description:
Cut list:
4x - 1.5x3 - 1' 2 1/2" - legs vertical
4x - 1.5x3 - 2' 1/2" - legs horizontal

7x - 1.5x3 - 4' 5" - slats
2x - 1.5x2.5 - 4' 5" - end slats
You should lay out everything you need before starting the project
Where's the instructions.
Measurements ❓👍
Hey Paul - Email me at my contact and I'll send you the SketchUp file
NathanBuilds how can I find email ? I would like to have measurements as well
@@MaulikThaker Ok, link to the Sketchup file is in the description for download from Google Drive. Good luck!
making it look this easy should be banned
This was my first go. You can do it!
