Cedar Log Picnic Table

Step 1:
Lay the top of your cedar log picnic table flat on the ground. Apply glue to the four holes at the corners of the table top and carefully insert each leg of the picnic table into its corresponding hole. Make sure that the bottom of the leg (which will be pointing up at this point) is parallel to the ground.

Step 2:
Using the washers and the 4 1/2" lag screws that are provided with your picnic table, attach the 58° seat supports to the legs of your picnic table as shown here.

Step 3:
Lay the first picnic table seat onto the seat support on one side of the table. Align the holes that are in the crossbars on the underside of the seat with the holes in the bar of the seat support. After lining the holes up, attach the seat to the seat support through these holes with the 3" lag screws and washers. Once you've attached the first seat, repeat the process for the second seat on the opposite side of the table.

Step 4:
Set the two crosspieces to the center bottom of the picnic table and pointing outward toward the non-seat edges of the table, so that they are lying on the seat supports right next to the table leg. Line up the holes and attach the crosspieces to the seat support beams with the 4 1/2" lag screws.

Step 5:
Now set your picnic table right side up. Make sure that the table feels stable and level on the ground with no rocking. If the table top is not level, you can adjust this by gently pushing one of the legs further into its hole.

Step 6:
Finally, you should nail the joints of the table legs into the crossbeam on the underside of the table as shown here in this illustration to the right. This will help to stablize and strengthen your cedar picnic table.

Easy assembly is something Cape Cod Treasure Chest's customers really appreciate. A few moments of your time and a minimum of elbow grease are required to fully assemble a table your family will value for years to come.

Statistics indicate that Americans currently spend an average of 90% of every day indoors. Here on Cape Cod, outdoor living is a more natural part of daily life. Maybe this is because our rough winters give us such a keen appreciation of the warmer months. Whatever the case may be, there's no denying that humans were designed to soak up sunshine and fresh air whenever we have the chance.

One of the super values of this cedar wood picnic table is that it enables a family to have a second dining room - outside! Whether a Southern barbecue, a New England clam bake, or a California fresh veggie roast is your family's style, making the choice to eat some of your meals outdoors turns a run-of-the-mill dinner into a really pleasant event.

While picnicking in comfort at your outdoor picnic table, you will also have the chance to:

• Admire the scenery and greenery
• Watch the birds
• Warm up in the sun or cool off in the shade

Caring for your cedar log picnic table
When you purchase your table, the fresh wood will be a pale creamy color. This will weather over time to a pearly grey, if left untreated. However, you can seal, paint, or stain your table to achieve a variety of different effects. Read more about caring for your cedar wood furniture.
