Hi everyone,
I need to make for my sister-in-law a "footrest" for under her teak table that sits on her composite deck. Thinking about:
Simple box, seven feet long, two feet wide, 18 inches tall. 3/4" outdoor pine sheathing PT plywood. Dado joints, TB3 and SS screws.
Stock trim simple designs.
Will add a lid with SS piano hinges for storage inside. Thinking about laminating two pieces of 3/4" ply for the lid.
Three coats of outdoor paint.
Any thoughts appreciated for a better design.
One question - do I need some type of feet to avoid water wicking up from the deck?
Thanks
