Equipment Need:

  • 4 Upright table supports
  • 4 Diagonal cross braces
  • 2 thick seat long boards
  • 2 thin table top long boards
  • 12 long screws
  • 12 short screws

Step 1: Gather the 4 upright table supports and lay them out in position where the table will be built.
Step 2: Gather the 4 diagonal cross braces.  Connect 2 diagonal cross braces to 2 of the upright table supports so they create a X.  Repeat with the remain diagonal cross braces and upright table supports.
Step 3: Place the 2 thick seat long boards into position on the lower part of the upright table supports.
Step 4: Square up the table so it is level and using long screws screw in the four corners of the thick seat long boards. This means each thick seat long board will 1 screw in it on each end and will allow the table to still be shifted if it is now perfectly square yet.  Once squared proceed to put another screw in each end of the thick seat long boards.  Then screw in 4 more long screws near the middle of the seating area.  One into each upright support.
Step 5: Place the thin table top long boards on the top part of the upright supports.  Leave even over hang if there is any on each side of the table.  Repeat the same pattern of screws as you did with the thick seat long boards but use the shorter screws.  In total you will use 4 screws at each end of the table and 4 screws in the middle of the table. 1 into each upright support
Step 6: The table is now completed.  Move into position if necessary.
