Another one bites the dust. This picture of a tubular metal picnic table with a childs playground in the distance was removed because AQA exam board made me as I broke copyright. Oh well!!

I've seen something very similar to this little beauty on the internet and luckily for you lot it shows how it is made. Have a look below.

The material the planks are made from looks like OAK or they could be HDPE (high density polyethylene), That's plastic to you and me). I think they are fixed to the frame using galvanised nuts and bolts

The frame is made from welded square tubular mild steel which has probably been powder coated. The tube is bent using a pipe bender. Look here for welding or here for more methods of joining
