Stainless Steel Picnic Table
 ✖  |
JoDee Johnston says that after her father, Leland Paulson, retired from dairy farming he drew up plans to make a picnic table out of the stainless steel bulk tank and pipeline. She says her dad had never seen anything like it, but he knew he had a talented metalworking friend who would be able to make it. Johnston says the finished table is a real work of art.
“It’s a shiny, spotless table that’s 4 ft. across and 8 ft. long,” says Johnston. “It’s the biggest and most beautiful picnic table I’ve ever seen. The benches and top have rolled edges so they’re completely smooth. We never have to use a table cloth or worry about getting slivers from this table,” JoDee says.
The top is reinforced by 1-in. stainless tubing that supports the sides, edges and center. Two pieces of 2-in. tubing run the full length of the top, supported by angle braces attached to four 30-in. tall vertical stainless legs. The legs sit on two 7-ft. long stainless base pieces that also provide support for the stainless benches. Those are 10 in. wide by 8 ft. long. All of the framework and bracing was made from pipeline in the dairy barn.
“The real beauty of this table is that no amount of weather ever affects it, even though it sits outside year-around,” JoDee says.
