Custom made for my small patio space. I did make a few killer mistakes (not pocket hole fillers on tops, used wrong color wood filler and made the holes on top vs bottom). Other than those glaring issues, its the perfect size for me. You can really use this same design for any size table.

What you will need

2x4’s for the legs and bracing

2x6’s redwood for the table top edges

1x2 redwood for the table top center

outdoor all weather finish - 3 coats

pocket screws

glue

rews and glue. Then while that was drying I cut the bracing and legs of the 2x4’s, creating notches in the center and top. The table top itself actually rests on 3/4” notches made in the top of the legs. Then I cut the table top center, measure piece by piece for the angles and separated by 1/4” scrap wood. They are also screwed in from the bottom. Lastly I installed the legs and bracing before adding 3 coats of finish.
