STEP 1 Layout three 2" x 10"’s in the length you
have chosen, best side down on a flat surface,
maintaining a 1/4" spacing between boards.
Extra 1/4" carriage bolts can be placed between
boards to maintain space.
STEP 6 On 6' and 8' tables, center the 25" x 2" x 4" cleat
between the angle brackets and nail to the table top
boards. Before nailing cleat, cover the mating surface of
the cleat with a coat of white glue. See STEP 3A of 2 x 4
instructions.
STEP 5 Repeat STEPS 2 - 4 for opposite end.
STEP 4 Attach angle bracket to top boards with six 2"
carriage bolts and hex nuts, as shown.
STEP 2 Measure and draw line across boards 4"
from one end for 4' table, 6" from one end for 6'
table, or 10" from one end for 8' table.
STEP 3 Center and mark 6 holes in angle bracket
on line drawn in STEP 1, as shown. Drill 1/4"
diameter holes.

STEP 1 Attach two tubular legs to angle bracket with 2" slotted head screws and 1/4" hex nuts.
STEP 2 Fasten the two tubular legs together with two 2-5/8" slotted head screws, fastening
brace between legs through hole as shown.
STEP 3 Make sure tubular leg assembly is at a right angle (90º) to the table top.
Bend brace so that it lays flat against table top. Locate the point at which hole
in brace contacts the table top and drill 1/4" diameter hole, as shown.
No cleat used on 4' table.
STEP 4 Attach brace to table top with 2" carriage bolt and hex
nut as shown.
STEP 5 Repeat STEPS 1 - 4 for opposite end of table top.
STEP 6 Mount benches to leg assemblies with
3-1/4" carriage bolts.

NOTE: Pressure-treated lumber is not necessary for
picnic tables. The new ACQ pressure-treated lumber is
corrosive and will cause premature rusting of
conventionally plated nuts and bolts. The threaded
fasteners included with this product have been specially
coated to help resist the corrosive effect of the ACQ
treatment.
