If you have kids then this can be a perfect weekend project. This children picnic table will look great if you have a backyard. Children will enjoy this picnic table and it’s fun and easy to build using our children’s picnic table plans.

You can build this table using redwood, cedar, or pine. Protect the wood by applying paint or stain. This is an easy to build project but it will require several angle cuts. The easiest way to cut these angle cuts is with a miter saw. See the plans below for assembly instructions.

Thanks

Great plans I’m building my grand daughter this , this weekend. Quick question, the 2x4s cut 25 degrees in opposite direction is the measurements from long to short or long to long. Thank you
Sorry got it now , I had a brain fart lol
Good plans, took a little over 2 hrs with sanding. Added an umbrella center hole for some shade
Kid loves it
These plans are very easy to read and the step by step instructions make the task look simple as can be. Thank you for taking the to create such wonderful past time hobbies
Consider leaving 1/4 or 3/8 gap between top and seat slats. Allows for air flow for wood to dry and makes cleaning the top easier.

Wondering what the overhang distance is between the end of the table top and leg assembly and end of the seat and leg assembly.
