This is a project I did a few years ago for myself. I got the top, a manufactured slate top that was headed to the dumpster. The pt wood on the base was from a buddy who did a deck tear out 15 years ago! This wood was probably at least 20 years old when I got it. Very heavy a guy on each corner if ever need to move. Enjoy.

Nice job of recycling a very cool top. I see a bike in the garage. What are you riding?

Way to recycle – looks like it will hold a small army of people. That’s the way to build them! Love the idea of recycling the materials.

Welcome to Lumberjocks, first time I have seen slate with that type of finish, you may have started a new
trend in theftproof picnic tables. Nice looking shop and good idea with the recycling of wood, that new
stuff is a little expensive. Hope you enjoy this site as much as the rest of us and enjoy many more years
of playing in the shop.

yeah, that’s how to keep them from getting stolen, make them like 1400lbs!

Nice one. That’s Hawaiian size. I’ve seen a few that big, with a small Webber or Japanese barbecue inset in the middle of the table so you can sit, chat, drink beer, and barbecue a few snacks all at the same time. Nothing like a good size picnic table to hang out with the boys at.
