Simple Adirondack Side Table

A flat-board 1x3 frame table with 1x3 legs screwed to the outside rather than square corner posts — a plainer build than this catalog's pocket-holed Adirondack stool.

Beginner

1 hr – 1.5 hrs

Wooden potting bench with slatted work surface, bottom shelf, slatted back, and top hutch shelf

Simple 2x4 Potting Bench with Slatted Back

Walk-in shed style chicken coop with shuttered windows and external nesting box

Outdoor dining table on angled sawhorse legs

Sawhorse Outdoor Table

An outdoor dining table on two angled sawhorse-style legs, with a compound-angle center cross support — a distinct base system from the trestle and pedestal tables elsewhere here.

Intermediate
$$$
5–7.5 hrs

Long outdoor bench on splayed sawhorse-style legs

Sawhorse Outdoor Bench

A long sawhorse-style bench for the patio, built from six boards. Splayed sawhorse legs give it a wide, stable stance — but they mean a lot of bevels.

Intermediate
$$
4–7 hrs

Wooden sandbox with lid panels folded open into two bench seats with backrests

Sandbox with Fold-Out Seats

A 4-foot sandbox whose lid folds open into two bench seats with backrests — closed, it keeps cats and rain out; open, the kids sit on it instead of in the mud.

Easy
$$
4–6 hrs

Kid-height wooden play table with two inset plastic tubs for sand and water

Sand and Water Play Table

A kid-height play table with two drop-in plastic tubs — one sand, one water — on a slatted storage shelf base. Buy the tubs first; the table is built around them.

Beginner
$$
2–3 hrs

Simple freestanding wooden wedding ceremony arch with cross-braced feet

Rustic Wedding Ceremony Arch

A freestanding 7-foot ceremony arch from four 2x4s and one 1x4 — self-supporting feet, 45° braces, built the week before and finished with whatever the florist brings.

Easy

2–3 hrs

A round cedar outdoor side table with collapsible X-shaped leg supports

Round Outdoor Adirondack Side Table

A round 1x4-slat outdoor side table on collapsible X-leg supports, sized to match Adirondack chair height.

Easy

2.5–4 hrs

Tall raised planter bed with an integrated bench clad in fence pickets

Raised RAISED Planter Bench

A tall raised-bed planter with an integrated bench, built from 2x2 framing and fence pickets. Elevated so you garden and sit without bending. A large outdoor build.

Intermediate
$$$
8–13 hrs

PVC Window Box

A window box built from PVC trim board instead of wood, sized to match the width of the window it sits under.
