Knock Down Picnic Table

A couple of years back, a reader of www.woodworkcity.com asked about a plan for a children’s table that could be assembled and then knocked-down after use (assembled like a puzzle). We were able to locate a basic knock down table plan, but found a much more detailed one this morning.

This plan has detailed drawings with illustrations for the detailed cuts and interlocking pieces.

The entire table is made from a single sheet of plywood! The plan comes from Kevin Ayer and is a terrific project to build with your kids.

If you are considering this as an outdoor table, take the material into consideration. Plywood is not a material that behaves well when faced with the elements. The idea behind having a knock-down table is that you can assemble and disassemble as needed. If it must remain outside, a high quality finish is a must. Not a stain, but a finish that includes exterior primer and a couple of coats of a high quality exterior paint.

Good luck with this terrific project.

Everyone needs a picnic table in their back yard at some point. Most of us who have kids, and relatives with kids, also understand the need for a “KIDS TABLE”. It is like a rite of passage when a kid moves up to the grown up table. Even outdoors, we can carry the tradition of the kids table by building this wonderful, and simple, children’s picnic table.

The picnic table is a terrific woodworking project that the whole family can participate in, take pride in, and also take advantage during the course of the year.

Many people find Woodwork City when looking for free picnic table plans, so I wanted to add a few options to the free plans that we have available here.

We get a number of calls for a hexagon picnic table. We are often asked about the hexagon table that pulls apart to fit a center section and seats 12. You can use the plans below to figure that table out.

Take a look at the picture of the table. The free plans are linked from the image. Good luck.

1) Plan 1 hexagon picnic table plan with single seats. A unique twist on the typical bench.

2) We may have included this free wood plan in the past, but the folding picnic table is a must have for those with limited space. The folding picnic table can double as a bench, splits for storage, or can be used as a single item when you are challenged for space for your picnic table.

3) Free hexagonal picnic table plan. This plan will allow you to create the extended picnic table. It will take a little bit of skill, some extra lumber and creativity, but this picnic table is suited to be a split table due to the shape.

4) Free kids picnic table plan. This free plan is a great project for the kids and can be used inside or out. Take care to sand the table properly. A kid with a splinter is not a good thing.

5) The final plan is a traditional picnic table plan and the plans are in video format. This video has the well known home improvement guru Eric Stromer. Stromer isn’t just a face on TV, he knows his stuff. A simple woodworking project that anyone can do. If you are a visual/audio person, the video is nice.
