Picnic Tables - How to Build a Paving Pad For Your Picnic Table

Picnic Tables - How to Build a Paving Pad For Your Picnic Table


Does your picnic table reside on your lawn? Do you have to move it every time you mow the lawn? Pretty frustrating - right? Right! A real hassle especially if the table is large! Creating a paving pad to put under your table solves this minuscule challenge and it doesn't impose a great deal of work or expense either. And it looks fantastic! And you can say with pride that you built it yourself!

Most picnic or Bbq tables are in the middle of 5' and 10' wide at their widest point. ( Many, these days are hexagonal or octagonal and so a quadrilateral pad is the most suitable. As long as your table is no bigger than 10' across, a 10'*10' pad would be ideal. The first thing to do is search the position that you want to have your picnic table in. Just remember that to shift it after you put the pad down is going to involve quite a bit of work. You can select any size of paving stones any way a 2'*2' paver , being so large means you don't have to put so many down. 25 in fact, 5 each way.

Purchase the 25 2" pavers, (aggregate pebbles on top looks great) and you will need 4 lengths of 2"*4" treated lumber at 10' long as well as 8 4" galvanized nails and some lumber for pegs.

Lay out the pavers on an unused section of lawn. Leave a small gap in the middle of them to allow for sand. Now portion the length along each side, cut the lumber at 45 degrees and nail the surrounding framework together. It will be a exquisite fit. Now shift the lumber framework to the exact location that you want to place your picnic table. Make sure it is quadrilateral by measuring from angle to corner. Mark colse to the exterior of the frame with a spade. Shift the frame and dig out the lawn area out to a depth of 4".

Now place the frame into the area dug out. Check for square. You now need to get the whole framework level. Drive pegs into the ground inside the frame and when you have it level, nail the pegs to the frame. The frame should be level with the height of the grass.

Now you need some sand, about 1 3/4 cu yards of sand. This will raise the bottom of the dug out area by about 2". Level it off with a rake. Now you need to make a board to Screen the sand to the spoton level, just under 2". The board needs to sit on the frame and enlarge down 1 3/4". Keep working at it until the area is as level as possible. This will determine how level you get the pavers. Without walking on the sand area fit all of the 25 pavers into the sand area. They will fit perfectly with a small gap in between.

You need a minuscule more sand to spread over the top of the pavers. Sweep the sand until all of the gaps are filled. Next it's time to compact the pavers. This can be done with a board and a hammer. The vibration will determine the pavers into the sand. When this is done it may need a minuscule more sand. Keep consolidating until no more sand disapPears. Sweep the area of all the sand and - hey presto, you have a exquisite paving pad for your picnic table. No more shifting the table to mow the lawn!

Picnic Tables - How to Make a simple Lazy Susan For Your Picnic Table

How big is your picnic table? Can you seat 16 people? The new beloved octagonal and hexagonal picnic tables these days can be very large. This is phenomenal because you can seat so many of your house and friends. And big is beautiful!

There is one small drawback however to large tables and that is you can't reach the food or drinks in the centre or the other side of the table without having to stand up and stretch over all else.

Picnic Table

The solution: A Lazy Susan! The Chinese use them extensively in their banquet rooms where the tables are also large. It is a straightforward respond to a frustrating challenge.

Picnic Tables - How to Make a simple Lazy Susan For Your Picnic Table

They can be purchased but it may not match up with the table that you have, especially if you have made the table yourself. If you have made yourself a large octagonal picnic table with octagonal segments in the table top, it would be great to have a matching Lazy Susan.

The following is a plan to match an octagonal picnic table with a table top measuring around 6'8" across to the parallel sides.

Materials required for a large octagonal picnic table

Lumber

1/2" Plywood 50"*50" quadrate favorable for covering use.

6*1 1/2 32' dry pressure treated pine

2"*4" 13' 2*4" dry treated pine

Nails / Screws

3" gal nails 32

1 1/2" screws 128

Turntable swivel A 12" to 14"

Tools Required

1) A power blend miter saw.

2) A circular saw

3) A drill and hole saw to make the hole for the umbrella.

4) Hammer.

5) Tape measure. Small hand plane. Adjustable square. Pencil.

6) Battery drill to screw all the screws in.

Step by step construction

Step 1

Cut the 2*4 accurately in half with the circular saw. This now gives you 2 pieces 2"*2".If you have an galvanic plane, level the saw cut. Now cut the 8 pieces to 19" with 45 degree angles. This is the covering frame.

Make sure that the cut side is down so that the saw cutting is not visible.

Step 2

Arrange the pieces on a flat covering in an octagon shape and nail them together.

Step 3

Place the frame onto the plywood board and accurately part angle to angle until you get the frame perfectly "square". When you have it exactly right draw a pencil line right around the inside of the frame onto the plywood. (Note. If there are any gaps in the covering corners of your frame you may need to do some little adjustments because this is what you are going to see.)

Step 4

Shift the plywood onto a bench and cut accurately along the line with the circular saw. Tidy up with the hand plane. You now have a perfect octagon to fit exactly inside the 2*2 frame. Place it inside the frame on a flat covering and rule lines in the middle of the opposite corners onto the plywood

Step 5

Now part each board, cut and fit the covering row of 6*1 1/2. Plane the cut edge to give it a bevel. Don't nail anything. When the covering row is faultless start on the next row and then the next until all the centre is filled. You will need to be definite with cuts to make sure it all fits with no gaps.

Step 6

Nail 2 nails straight through each section of frame into the covering row of 6*1 1/2. Now turn the Lazy Susan over. Draw lines in the middle of the corners. Take a piece of 6*1 1/2 to use as a guide and draw where the boards would be on the other side. Do each board in turn because this gives you a guide as to where to put the screws.

When you know where all the screws go, screw the plywood tightly to the Lazy Susan top. In this way there are no nails or screws showing on the Lazy Susan top.

Step 7

Turn it over so that it is right way up. You should clearly see where the centre of the umbrella hole goes. Use the hole saw to make the umbrella hole.

Step 8

Centre the turntable swivel accurately and screw into place.

You now have a Lazy Susan to transport your food and drinks effortlessly around your large octagonal table.
