❈ Simple & Sturdy Picnic Set
Basic joinery ensures that you can build this heavy-duty outdoor table and benches with little fuss. Build it from cypress, cedar, pressure-treated lumber, etc., and it will last you through many seasons❈ Garden Bench
This classic design adds beauty - and a relaxing resting place - to any outdoor setting. For ease of construction, this project goes together almost entirely with glue and tight-gripping screws - you can't see them, but they'll keep the bench rock-solid season after season❈ Grilling Center
Build this weekend project completely from home-center cedar or follow our easy directions for replacing the top with a weather-impervious concrete slab. Either way, this mobile culinary station features ample storage for supplies, expansive prep space, and hooks for hanging accessories. You supply the kabobs, and the aroma will produce plenty of friends❈ Outdoor Settee
Simple glue-and-screws joinery makes building it a breeze. Made with notches in the middle layer of the graceful, but sturdy, laminated legs that trap the side rails for joints as strong as mortises and tenons. Overall dimensions: 42" high x 56" wide x 43" deep
❈ Arched Garden Footbridge
Bridges are among the most spectacular and admired examples of mankind's desire to build. This span will turn your landscape into an object of admiration, even if you don't have a body of water to cross. Just create a dry-stream setting for your structure by laying down a bed of rounded pebbles❈ Durable, Doable Outdoor Bench
Using only portable power tools, you can turn dimensional lumber into the start of your deck, patio, or garden. 70" L x 19" D x 16" H
❈ Timber-framed Mailbox
With pressure-treated 4x6 beams and a 6x6 post, this mailbox is both sturdy and long-lasting. Another strength: It provides the opportunity to try your hand at several time-honored timber framing techniques that might have you considering a barn as your next project❈ Outdoor Server with Stools
This project perfectly complements our outdoor bistro table. The server and stools employ the same simple construction as the table, so you can knock out a set in a weekend. 53" W x 30" D x 36" H❈ Easy Swinging Arbor with Swing
With only two posts to set and nothing to rip, you'll be relaxing in your new swing in no time. These projects feature simple joinery - screw and a few notches - for quick construction. Decorative battens and beams strengthen the arbor while providing partial shade. Overall dimensions: 111" W x 42" D x 91½" H
