Summer was drawing to a close so i knew time was running out as far as completing any outdoor projects was concerned. My wife has been pestering me about building a kids picnic table since the turn of the year. Because I’m not a DIY kind of person, i got hold of a set of plans which have been hidden away in the tool shed at the bottom of the garden, maybe i was hoping they would just wither away.

The pressure was building, i knew i had to make a start this weekend while the weather was still good. To be honest with you i was not sure if i could read a set of plans let a lone construct anything from them. Lucky for me these plans were lay-ed out so even an idiot like me could follow along. As a family we tend to spend a lot of time out of doors, so my wife thought a kids picnic table would be a good center piece to the garden.

I was surprised how well i took to a hammer and saw, this being the first project of this type i had tackled since i left school. As it turns out this project was a breeze, and only took me the best part of a day to finish. To be fare without the kids picnic table plans i don’t know where i would have started, never mind finish. The wife and kids were very impressed, shocked in fact that i was able to make anything that looked so professionally made.

As outdoor tables go, this particular model “Naturally Playful Picnic Table with Umbrella” is i have to admit a bit pricey. However the build quality makes up for this with sturdy construction, durability and a surprisingly good umbrella. In comparison with other products, this little table comes out on top, in my opinion.

And because it is so well made, you will find it will take about six months before you see any sign of wear and tear. Six little ones can be seated comfortably with ease, and i myself have been able to sit without the fear of damaging it, though i must say that i could feel the bench sag, under my weight.

The table surface has a wood grain effect which can collect all manor of dirt, but let me say this is not an issue because it can be easily cleaned. That said Play dough can be a devil to clean off that wood grain effect. Despite that, and it really is a non issue, don’t let that detract from what is a marvelous children’s toy.

Many people go crazy with outdoor lights at Christmastime, covering not only their entire houses, but everything in their yards, including the bushes, trees, mailboxes, outdoor furniture, and picnic tables.  While, naturally, using lights so unabashedly can be garish, it can also be done tastefully, by someone with creative vision, a detailed plan, and a good deal of experience.

If you’re new to outdoor Christmas lighting, it’s best to start small, decorating only a few items, then adding more each year (or not).  Before you begin, make sure that you know how to properly use and handle your lights.  Although they may be safer than those that were popular years ago, they also come in many more varieties, so it’s just as important to read – and heed – the labels, which should always have the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) logo on them.

 Before you put up your lights, be certain that they’re designed specifically for outdoor use (this goes for extension cords, too), and replace any that are burned out, as they can drain power from the other bulbs.  Inspect wires for spots that are cracked or worn out, and keep lights and cords away from puddles, and other sources of water.

Versatility and durability are keywords when it comes to picnic tables, it must be said. Just about anybody who’s ever dined in the outdoors has a pleasant memory of sitting on a wooden picnic table, enjoying hot dogs or hamburgers or both, whether at a park or in the backyard. These tables have been around for decades, mostly made of wood and weather proved, though plastic is gradually overtaking wood, by the way.

In a few countries, these tables are often called picnic benches, for what it’s worth. All such tables and benches are modified so that they, in fact, have a bench on which to sit and they generally make for the best tables for out-of-doors dining. These days, many are constructed of materials other than wood and can even be made so that they’re portable and yet still very durable.

It’s still the case these days that many a city park or state or national park has a wide variety of such tables scattered around them for the use of their patrons. One can also see different versions of what can only be called a picnic table in school cafeterias, break rooms or community centers and dining halls. They make for a very nice, durable and long-lasting dining table, it must be said.
