Building the legs

The first step of the project is to build the legs of the table. As you can see in the image, you should use 1×6 lumber, as to enhance the look of the adirondack table.

Top Tip: Use a good circular saw to cut the legs at the right size and shape, making sure you smooth the edges the medium-grit sandpaper. You can adjust the size of the table, as to fit your needs and tastes.

Installing the rails

Continue the project by installing the top rails. In order to assemble the frame of the adirondack table, we recommend you to build the rails from 1×3 lumber. Cut the components and attach them to the legs, after aligning them at both ends.

In addition, you should plumb the sides of the table and to make sure the corners are right-angled. Work with great attention and with good judgement, if you want to get a professional result.

Fitting the top

Installing the top of the adirondack table is a straight forward process, but you can get the job done in several ways. In our case, we consider that adding 1×4 slats on both sides of the table and a 1×6 slats on the middle is a good choice, as it adds character to the table.

Place the slats equally spaced, making sure they overhand 3/4″ on the front and back. Drill pilot holes, countersink the head of the screws and insert 1 1/4″ galvanized screws.

Building the ends pieces

Continue the woodworking project by installing the end slats. As you can notice in the plans, you should follow the same pattern as in the case of the tabletop. Cut the ends of the slats in a decorative manner, using a circular saw and following the plans.

Attach the slats to the rails and secure them into place with galvanized screws. Drill pilot holes trough the slats and countersink the head of the screws.
