This is a slightly updated version of the a table I already built. This new table is shorter, the frame is made of pressure treated lumber and it’s a bit stronger. For the top, I used cedar boards as I did for the previous table.

The top frame is built using 2×4 pressure treated lumber with tenons and mortises. The outer dimensions for the top frame are 71″ x 33 3/4″. All the tenons are 2 1/4″ long.

The frame is also built using tenons and mortises but the legs and the bottom H stretcher are made of 4×4 pressure treated lumber. There is an added 2×4 holding the top two end beams. The top frame is dropped on top of the bottom frame and help with two 3 1/2″ screws at each corner. These are screwed from under so I can remove the top. I also added four screws in the middle of the table, where the two 2×4 cross.

The table top is made of 1×6 cedar boards. The overall size is 72″ x 34 1/4″. I used 3 12 feet long 1×6 cedar boards cut in half for this build. The cedar boards are screwed to the top frame from under so the screws are hidden.

After everything was put together, I drilled a 1 5/8″ hole in the middle of the table top as well as the H stretcher to hold an umbrella.
