STEP 1:
So build the top of your work table: Attach the plates to the external boards with your 1 1/2 inch pocket hole system using the 2 1/2 inch pocket screws accompanied by glue . Also make sure to use glue that is applicable for outdoor projects. Place the plates 1/4 inch apart.
STEP 2:
As a result, attach the bench supports: Use a 1 1/2 inch cardstock pocket hole system with 2 1/2 inch pocket screws and adhesive to attach the supports or use 2 1/2 inch screws. 2 from the table top and secure the countersink. Brackets will sit 1 inch from the front-back edges and 1 1/2 inches from the side edges, and should be spaced as shown below.
STEP 3:
Secure the legs in place: To make the height of the X-shaped legs about 15 and 1/2 inches plus the width of the X be the width of your board.
You must measure and mark its exact dimensions, we recommend that you miter the legs at about 60 degrees. 3 of the leg pieces will be whole (green) and the other 6 will be reduced in half (blue), this is done so that the 2 outer ones are equal and the center is the opposite.
