Picnic table make or buy

King Mallie

Hi guys,
Has anyone recently built their own 6ft picnic table ??
How much were the materials ?

I'm thinking about building my own one or buy one if anyone can recommend a guy whom manufacturers same for a reasonable cost ?

Thanks for your help !!

You would make one handy enough, timber is cheap. A friend of mine makes them he uses pressure treated timber.

King Mallie

Thanks for your reply. How much does he charge ?

Sir Arthur Daley

Not too sure, got mine in trade for a favour. Almost identical to the one in the link.

I made one a few years ago cost nearly as much to make as what you'd buy them for. Of course I made one big mistake I never sanded it and it took heaps of yacht paint @ €17 a tin I should have got better timber as well. These are the plans I used.
