Materials List

2×4 (50 x 100mm) rough sawn wood: 

• 2 @ 66-1/2″ (1690mm) for the lower rails
• 4 @ 33″ (840mm) for the top rails and tabletop supports 4 @ 12″ (300mm) for the seat supports

In all 30ft (9m) of 2×4 (50 x 100mm) rough sawn wood, allowing for a bit of waste.

1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (38mm x 140mm) wood

In all 90ft (27m) of 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (38mm x 140mm) wood, allowing for a bit of waste.

You will also need:

• 40 of 5″ (125mm) galvanized bugle head batten screws (these big screws are what give the table its strength, stops wobble, and are a crucial part of the design)
• 44 of 3″ (75mm) exterior wood screws
• 8 of 3-1/2″ (90mm) galvanized nails – just to hold the support pieces in while you turn the tabletop over so they can be screwed from the other side.

1/2″ (12mm) galvanized coach/carriage bolts with nuts and washers

• 4 @ 4″ (100mm)
• 4 @ 5″ (125mm)

Check the lengths if the lumber you get is a different size.
