FOREVER PICNIC TABLES (ATTACHED BENCHES) SPECIFICATIONS (PDF DOWNLOAD)
Specifications has the following sections, any of which you may go to directly by clicking on it:
DIMENSIONS & DRAWINGS
Side View
Front View
Tabletop boards are 5 3/4" W, this is why the widths run in 5 3/4" increments. Picnic tables have a default Height of 30 1/4". Any of the dimensions shown can be altered if you require a custom height or width. Just let us know.
If the table is going to be used for meals, there is a common upgrade often made that you should be aware of:
If you plan to place food platters on the table, a 36" W tabletop is a bit narrow to hold both food platters and provide enough space for place settings on both sides of the table. Also, if you'd like to have comfortable place settings on the ends of the table that do not conflict with someone sitting on the side corners. Adding an extra 6 or 12 inches (to a 42" or a 48" W tabletop) not only creates the space in the center for the food platters, but also creates a place setting on both ends of the table. As far as useful space, you create more by adding a foot in width than a foot in length.
Benches, whether attached or unattached, have a bench top width of 11 1/2". Unattached benches have legs that flare out to 17" at base/ground level. If you choose end tables with your set, they are built 6" shorter than the width of the table to ensure the benches don't bump into the side benches when used close to the table. Just let us know if you'd like something different.
Bench top, Tabletop and leg boards are 1 7/8" thick. All tables over 8 'L have legs made with 2 7/8" thick timbers for proper support. All tables over 10' L have 3 sets of legs for proper support. The 10' table is usually made with just 2 sets of legs, but if you'd like a third set of legs, just let us know in the comment section at checkout (no extra charge).
The following table weights were calculated using the default 36" tabletop width in Redwood. Douglas-fir weighs approximately 20% more:
| Table Length | Number of Adults Who Can Dine Comfortably (Based on a std. 36" width table) | Approx. Weight Table Alone | Approx. Weight Table with Benches | |

| 6-Ft | 8 | 10 | 150 lbs. | 210 lbs. |
| 7-Ft | 8 | 10 | 170 lbs. | 240 lbs. |
| 8-Ft | 10 | 12 | 190 lbs. | 270 lbs. |
| 10-Ft | 12 | 14 | 230 lbs. | 330 lbs. |
| 12-Ft | 14 | 16 | 300 lbs. | 410 lbs. |
| 14-Ft | 16 | 18 | 340 lbs. | 460 lbs. |
Seating:
Seating estimates by length of table vary slightly depending on the selected seating configuration (adding End Benches generally adds 2-4 additional seats depending on table width). The Forever Picnic Bench (with flared leg) is the default style of bench used. If you'd like a different style, please see the option offered under Advance Options.

OPTION 1 - With both benches trimmed

OPTION 2 - With one bench trimmed

OPTION 3 - With benches a full size on both sides
 |
 |
With benches a full 8’ on both sides, a wheel chair does have enough room to fit at either end of the table as long as no one sits near the edge. But if you want to make sure that this space is always available, then we should trim at least one of the benches on one end of the table.

Care: You should expect your furniture to last outside for a minimum of 10-40 years without maintenance, even in climates with harsh year-round conditions. Because of our high quality wood, the silver patina that will naturally occur is surface deep (less than 1/64") and is not indicative of decay. We keep our display items without refinishing as examples show off their natural aging. We like the patina! If you’d like to keep your set looking its best for decades please visit: Care and Finish.
