Octagon Picnic Table Plans - provocative and Functional

Octagon Picnic Table Plans - provocative and Functional


An octagon shaped picnic table can be a great addition to any outdoor living area. Not only is it attractive, it also is useful as you can undoubtedly seat eight adults. It gives you the relaxation to eat together as a house without rubbing elbows. And since you can eat outside, there's a lot less clean up!

However, this shape of table can be harder to build than a original picnic table. It requires a lot more measuring and cutting. This is one type of task that you without fail need a good set of octagon picnic table plans!

Before you get your plans, you first need to determine on the sorts of features you want your table to have. Would you like to have an umbrella in the middle? Do you want the benches to be detached or attached? If the table is for adults, I would advise detached benches as this gives you more flexibility in spacing. It's also a tiny easier for those of us less limber than a fifteen year old to get in and out of. Also, detached benches are not as difficult to make.

You also need to determine on what sort of wood you want to use to originate your table. Pine is the cheapest, but it won't last long. Cedar and redwood are two beloved choices. They withhold their color and shape outdoors, which gives your table some longevity. However, they are a bit more expensive.

Once you know the features you want and the wood that you'll need, you're ready to find some octagon picnic table plans. I ordinarily look for plans that I can understand. If they are written in some technical woodworking jargon, I know my task won't be a success. However, if all things is explained, it makes the job a lot easier.

I also like to get a set of plans that consist of more than one project. That way, I feel I get more value for my money. Plus, if my wife changes her mind on what she wants, I don't have to go buy a thoroughly new set of plans!

The best value would be a set of plans with some woodworking training. That way, if you are still new to woodworking, you can get caress and knowledge as you stop some efficient projects. Who knows, if you get good enough, you could even have your own enterprise selling ended projects on the side!
