10′ Picnic Table Plans

This step by step woodworking project is about 10′ picnic table plans. I have designed this large picnic table so you can host large bbq parties in your yard. This picnic table is mostly built from 2×6 lumber, so its frame is very sturdy and durable. This picnic table has a beautiful design and it is the right addition to any property. You can build this picnic table in one weekend. See my other DIY projects HERE.

We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

How to build a picnic table

Building the legs

Start the woodworking project by framing the legs for the 10 foot picnic table. Make 30 degree cuts to both ends of the legs, as shown in the diagram. Smooth the edges with sandpaper for a professional result.

Building the sides

Use 2×4 lumber for the top support and 2×6 lumber for the seat supports. As you can easily notice in the diagram, you need to make decorative cuts to both ends of the beams. Clamp the supports to the legs, after aligning them together tightly. Drill pilot holes through the supports and through the legs. Then lock them together by inserting 3 1/2″ carriage bolts. Use two carriage bolts for each joint.

Pocket holes

Drill pocket holes through the tabletop supports. Drill two pocket holes for each slat.

Fitting the tabletop

Lay the 2×6 slats on a level surface. Fit a piece of 1/4″ plywood between the slats, so you can create even gaps. Align the ends of the slats with attention. Afterwards, fit the legs of the table, as shown in the diagram. Plumb the legs with a spirit level and then insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock them to the slats into place tightly.

Seat supports

Fit 2×6 supports to the picnic table. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the supports and then lock them into place with 2 1/2″ screws. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges flush.

Fitting the seat slats

Fit the 2×6 seat slats into place, making sure the side overhangs are even. Drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock them into place tightly.

Building the diagonal braces

Build diagonal braces for the picnic table from 2×4 lumber. Make angle cuts to both ends of the braces, as shown in the diagram.

Fitting the diagonal braces

Fit the braces to the picnic table. Drill pocket holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock the braces into place tightly. These diagonal braces will make the frame of the picnic table really rigid.
