Those garden tables...

Jun 07, 2007 16 Replies

...with attached benches, like you see in pub gardens or picnic areas, do they have a specific name? I'm looking for a plan to build one and I'm struggling a bit!

Best way to be able to find something immediately? Ask someone else to look for it!

Fear not, I've found one.

================================== There are some with pictures clear enough to copy on Ebay. Do a search under 'pub picnic table'. They're really only a glorified traditional sawhorse.

Yus, picnic table's the chap. Thanks.

These are rather nice

saw them in a local pub.

They look a bit better than 'conventional' ones, where you can have difficulty getting your leg over... :-)

I like that. Wonder if they'll send me some plans? ;)

I'm crap at working out how stuff like that fits together.

Actually, I haven't got a flat enough piece of ground for something that size!

Oh well.

Si

Have you thought of decking to even out that bumpy garden ground?

'ere, are you keyword spamming now???

:-)

Personally I think that decking is awfully passé. A bit common, in fact. It's probably quite popular with the caravanning types. And those that have a cocktail bar in the corner of the lounge.

;-)

I'm not keen - I likes a bit of grass and the garden isn't big enough for a lot of both.

Lots of spare garden here, could post you some over!

A bit of lateral thinking: if you have lots of spare garden then how about we just move onto it? That way you'd save a lot on postage. Are we talking hundreds of acres in the Highlands or a 40 acre Devon farm here? Either would do.

Si

I would I want to go down the pub to saw them? I think they would object to the noise and the dust...

Easy: take one of your sheds, remove roof, remove walls, erect table. Voila! flat picnic table! ;-)

Peter

How very dare you?
