Traveling Picnic Table Can Come in Handy

Ellingson has been designing patterns and plans for the amateur woodworker since 1948.

How many times have you been traveling and not been able to stop for a picnic because there are no available tables and benches? Our folding travel table and stools can offer a solution to this problem.

When folded down, the table measures 47 1/2 by 21 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches. Just pack it into your vehicle and you’ve declared your independence from overcrowded parks, camp sites and roadside rest areas. When you reach your destination, set-up takes only minutes. The table comfortably seats four to six persons and measures 47 1/2 by 28 1/2 by 29 inches.

Step-by-step instructions with accompanying photos guide you in this easy-to-build project. A complete cutting schedule and a shopping list help to get you started.
