My friends and I made a WeCo table with the notel motel design. If you’re thinking of making a good courtyard table, here is the list & dimensions of wood you would need:
| Item | Quantity | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 4x8’ plank | 1 | table top |
| 4x4 of length 37” | 6 | legs |
| 2x4 of length 96” | 4 | upper side supports, longways |
| 2x4 of length 93” | 2 | lower nner side supports, longways |
| 2x4 of length 48” | 2 | side supports, stubby way |
| 2x4 of length 45” | 5 | inside under table supports, stubby way |
| 6x1” of length 36” | 2 | shelves, stubby way |
| 6x1 of length 33.5” | 4 | shelves, 2 per each side of longways |
We put it all together with 2” TORX wood screws. The TORX wood screws help prevent stripping the screws. When we replaced all the tops of the table after over a year, the TORX screws were easy to take out.
The shelves can be any dimensions, so it’s worth seeing what scraps are left in the wood shop.
The 6 legged design and 2x4 reinforcements under the table top really helps to make it safe for hhp, and other events.
Our table came together to look like this:
Here are some pictures of our table and the other tables in the courtyard getting used.
