Follow along with the free woodworking plans provided for your visual cut list in the Extras Tab or see the Cut list tab for more details. There are several angled cuts that will also need to be cut, which are all detailed in the plans/cut list. To do the angled cuts we drew a line and cut with circular saw.
Next move on to sanding the wood very smooth with 150 grit sandpaper on an orbital sander. Also, take the time to round the edges and corners to your sander to give it a more comfortable feel.
Using your Kreg pocket hole jig, drill the pocket holes where shown on the woodworking plans.
We chose to use a teak oil stain on our wood, which is great for outdoor use. We used WATCO Teak Oil + Stain in the Hazelnut color.
Secure two table slats on each side for benches, spaced 1/2 inch apart with 2 1/2" pocket hole screws into the pocket hole guides as previously drilled.
Using 2 1/2" construction screws driven at a slight angle into bottom support, secure the middle support to the table. We used one construction screw on top and one on bottom on each end.
