How to make a simple outdoor table with 2 x 4's for outside use?
I want a table to set my window boxes on for spring seedling at waist height and I think a sturdy wooden table would work well?
Thank you, Candice

What about a simple step stool? You can adjust the height of the legs to fit your purpose.

Here's a nice link, just make the legs as tall as you need them to be:

My alternate thought was to take 2 barstools and attach the 2 x 4's to the seat of them, anchor the legs into the ground.
What fantastic ideas. They are all helpful and I thank you very much for your time . Stay safe.
Hello Candice,
Make a frame the size you want the table, then fit legs into corners. Then clad or make a top to fit. Screw from the underside.
Home Depot and Lowes will cut wood for you if you don't have the tools, so give them the dimensions and then attach everything together. Use the search bar at the top left for simple design ideas.
