Patrol Table Plans

• Perspective View and Front View
• Materials List and Cutting Guides

These plans are based upon several designs used by troops in our council.

Note: the materials list shows how to cut all of the pieces out of one 4' x 8' sheet of 5/8" plywood. The plywood should be exterior grade with one smooth sanded surface. All cut edges need to be sanded. The cleats should be fastened with waterproof glue and rust resistant screws. A good penetrating oil finish will further prevent splinters and improve the life of the table.
