Dining Table
Lazy Susan Hack
This dining table project has been designed with longevity in mind. Its sleek and sturdy form acts as a complement to any backyard space and instantly adds the possibility of enjoying outdoor meals.
The table features a strong base and a simple surface, secured to a support underneath. It comfortably sits three adults per side. Using 2x6s layups for the legs, 5/4x6s for structure, and 1x4s for cladding, this project is simple to assemble.
Once the legs are completed, the support structure is secured to create the table's base. After the top slats are secured and a light sanding plus waterproof finish is applied, the table is ready for some serious action.
