As far as lumber is concerned, I think teak or redwood is the best to use for a first-class table, which will weather well. I understand they have qualities not found in other woods and are therefore very suitable for a picnic table. They do not warp as easily as other woods, staying flat and straight in exterior use.

Teak and redwood both age beautifully so your picnic table will look better and better as the years pass by, giving you and your family lots of happy al fresco eating.

Here is a link to a free picnic table plan made of redwood: http://www.calredwood.org/homeown/table/table.htm

To make a less expensive table, you can use softer wood and then treat it, so that it will not warp or rot.

Here are another two free picnic table plans, which look easy to understand:

http://www.sticksite.com/picnic/index.html – Ken comes from Canada and shows you how to make a picnic table for around 60 Canadian Dollars. If you use his plan, send him an email and say thanks!
