Description
A picnic table (or picnic bench) is a modified table with attached benches, designed for eating a meal outdoors.
Picnic tables are used for dining, resting, doing crafts, and other activities. Picnic tables can be found outdoors in many public parks, residential back yards, rest areas, campgrounds, and many other places. Picnic tables are also used indoors when it is desired to have attached seating to tables. This is most common is school cafeterias, community centers, and employee break rooms. Each table usually seats from six to eight people, though smaller and larger capacity tables are available.
Picnic tables have been around for hundreds of years with a few changes.[1]
Picnic tables are traditionally made of wood, but modern tables are often made from plastic, concrete, or metal.
Wooden tables[edit]
Wooden tables are constructed using lumber boards. Protection for the wood (stain, paint, or wood protectant that repels water) is necessary to protect it from cracking, warping, or rotting due to moisture. The table-top and bench-top boards are attached to the trusses or beams using wood screws or nails. The legs can be secured with carriage bolts fastened by nuts and washers.
