tables with benches seating image
professor
I have 1 picnic table, 2 bistro's, 2 8x10 folding tables and a card table. I have plenty of chairs and benches. There may be about 60 people, so far I have seating for 30. I have asked people to bring lawn chairs and blankets because I am planning an outdoor movie night. The problem with rentals is the pick-up and return. Hope you can help!

Go to a "resale" shop and get some used flat doors for a couple of dollars each. With saw horses, these make really good "tables." Modern saw-horses fold for pretty compact storage. You can re-donate the doors if you have no other use for them. They also store pretty easily.
Plywood works,but be sure to get a thick enough grade that the sheet will be stiff supported only on the ends, or invest in a saw-horse to put in the middle, too.
Look around your home for options, too. What can you take outside for use? Take the drawers out of desks and chests of drawers, and cover with butcher paper or sheets for "table cloths." People can sit on an otoman. No law says you can't take actual furniture outside if the weather is good-- you might want to put "bags" on the legs of furniture to keep damp from the lawn out. These options require you have someone to help move furniture, though...that may be difficult to arrange if you are on your own..
Another option - your church might be able to lend you tables for a small donation, and they might even be able to help you with the pick-up and return.

Creative ideas for an outdoor table?
rjsmith717
My husband and I just moved into a new home and the previous owners left a very nice wooden bench that I am planning to place alongside my garden. I would really love an outdoor seating area, but can't afford to purchase a new patio set. Does anyone out there have some creative ideas for building an outdoor table to go along with the bench?
Thanks!
Answer
yes...you could put together a table with a large garden urn with a sheet of tempered glass. This makes a nice "coffee table" for an informal seating area in your garden.
