Hello,
I have been asked to build a picnic table for the local school. It will go in the Pre-K and K play lot. I was thinking of building an octagon one but I can't find a plan that does not have open benches. I would like to have benches closed so that the kids will not fall off and you can squeeze more kids onto the table.
I found a plan that has closed benches but I am a little nervous about shrinking the plan down to little child size. I also found a child size plan that has open benches which I think I can just extend the benches to become closed.
Here is a link that has a children's plan with open benches
