We strongly recommend you to pay attention to several aspects before starting the actual construction of the wooden table. For example, it is essential to invest in high quality lumber, such as pine, cedar or redwood, as they don’t only have a nice finish but also are highly durable. Align the components at both ends and make sure the corners are right-angled before inserting the screws. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

Adirondack Coffee Table Plans

Building an adirondack table

Top Tip: You should adjust the size and the design of the adirondack coffee table to suit your needs. Invest in high quality materials before building the components.

Building the table frame

The first step of the woodworking project is to build the frame of the tabletop. As you can easily notice in the image, we recommend you to build the components out of 2×4 lumber. Take accurate measurements and cut the slats at thee right size by using a circular saw.

Drill pocket holes at both ends of the short components and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the perimeter aprons. Make sure the corners are right-angled before inserting the screws into place.

Attaching the legs

Continue the backyard project by attaching the 2×4 legs to the frame of the table. As you can easily notice in the image, we recommend you to attach the pieces of wood to the exterior corners of the frame.

Drill pilot holes from the inside of the frame into the legs and insert several 2 1/2″ screws. Add glue to the joints if you want to make a rigid structure.

Attaching the tabletop

Afterwards, we recommend you to attach the 1×4 slats to the top of the coffee table. The easiest way in which you can get the job done in a professional manner is to lay the slats on a level surface.

Top Tip: Center the slats to the frame of the table, drill pocket holes through the components and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the slats. Apply waterproof glue to the edges of the slats, in order to lock them together tightly.

One of the last steps of the woodworking project is to take care of the finishing touches. Therefore, fill the pilot holes with wood putty and smooth the surface with 120-grit sandpaper.

Top Tip: In order to protect the lumber from water damage, we recommend you to cover the components with several coats of paint. Place the wood table in a proper location and move it whenever necessary.
