You can easily build this DIY picnic table in just one weekend and the benches are detached so it's a really easy one to store, too.
The design isn't for half a picnic table. This staple of backyards and parks with its elbow-to-elbow dining and climb-over seating works in all terrains, so you can move off the deck and onto the grass. And it isn't two benches that are placed together to make one whole picnic table.
