Directions

  • Lay out supports

    Layout the 4x4s as shown. Locate center of each 4x4 joint and use a 1-1/8" forstener bit to counterbore a 1/2" deep hole. Then, drill a 1/4" pilot hole through the center (as shown). You'll repeat this step three times for each support.

    Step 1

  • Assemble legs

    Assemble each leg assembly with four 3/8" x 5-1/2" lag screws and washers using an impact wrench.

    Step 2

  • Attach leg assemblies

    Attach the leg assemblies together with two 2x8s using 3" timber or deck screws. Make sure middle leg assembly is centered.

    Step 3

  • Install table top boards

    Finish table assembly by installing remaining 2x8s using 3" timber or deck screws.
