I have looked on the internet and can't find any. The want you to buy theres. I need a big one too. Maybe for about 10 or more people. I want to make it out of treated wood. Are there any carpenters out there?
Answer
I went to the library a few years ago and found a 'woodworking projects' book. It had a picnic table in it which is octagonal and easily seats 10 people. The 4 benches (each handles two sides of the octagon) aren't attached, so you can carry them over the sit around the campfire if you want.
I copied the plans for the table at 10 cents per page (it amounted to about 50 cents, I think). Then I built it - I chose Cedar, not treated wood. It weighs less and is very good at handling weather. We've had the table at least 8 years, because I built it before I was disabled nearly 8 years ago.
I had no background in woodwork - the instructions were great.
Try your library.

beach wedding problem..picnic tables..long reception and elderly??

I am having a beach wedding at a wood pavilion. There are wood seat everywhere...attached to the pavilion, there is nowhere else to sit. Should I make some cushions? Any ideas?
I can't have chairs....there's no room. I have to deal with these benches. I will check the rental companies, my only fear is the cushions need to attach or they may slide off....but I might get them to make customs if they can rerent. Some one else report the link given by the dude down there....guy is spamming, they need more than just my complaint. thx. go somewhere else you nerd
it's not the ugliness...I don't mind the natural wood color...much better than plastics
I'm worried about my elderly guests' bottoms getting sore....they need something comfortable to sit on for so long...one of them is 90!
Answer
Instead of cushions, get plastic table cloths from a party store and cut them in hald (or even thirds) and staple them to the benches. This will serve 2 purposes, make the benches look nicer and cover them so they are clean.
You could get some cotton batting at a craft store, cut it to fit the benches and then staple the table cloths to the underside pulling the table cloth tight to creat your own cushions, but this may be more trouble than it's worth.
Cushions may move and fall and be more of a pain and then the rental fee...forget it!
I would just cover them!
Good luck!
