Temporary Surface For Under Picnic Table

RE: Temporary Surface For Under Picnic Table By sherry c (3) Contact I recently bought a few "rubber" mats, each about 4' x 6' and maybe 1" thick, at Tractor Supply to put under my picnic table and Little Tyke's cottage so I could quit dragging them around the yard when it came time to mow. They work great! Each cost around $35, well worth the price to save the work and time I used to waste weekly. The kids love the solid floor of the cottage, too.

Home Centers sell it by the yard ... it comes in various widths. Very reasonable priced and you can hose it down too. You can also purchase a small piece to cover top of picnic table for a different table decoration!

I made mine big enough to put up a screen room on. I use the big eye screws to anchor it with. Made a 12x16 "patio" for about $200. I did buy some of the pallets new so that added to the cost but would have cost lots more to build a deck or have a concrete slab poured. And it was quick.

It's starting to get a little rough around the edges, but it does work.

I'm beginning to think the wood would just rot, though. But I like the visual I get when I think about it.

I got all the bricks I needed to build a bread/pizza oven for free that way.

If you use a chainsaw to cut the trunk into equal width circles you can lay them down as a paving surface. Prepare your ground area but digging down enough to make the trunk circle lay flat and level with the ground. Fill in the spaces between with some pea gravel. You will just have to be a bit strategic about where you place the patiofurniture .

Contact Go to a gardening shop and buy some flat rocks and build yourself a small deck to set your picnic table on. Or if you know of any wooded area, see if you can find some large flat rocks for free. Just make sure that you're not trepassing on someone's property. Posted on 04/24/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
