ABSTRACT:
A sectional table for outdoor use comprises a plurality of substantially identical sections which, when assemled, may be formed into a regular polygon, e.g. octagon, etc., having a central opening of the same polygonal shape adapted to surround a columnar object, such as a tree, shaft or post, or which may have one section omitted to leave open a central opening accessible for service to the table. The table is formed of wood boards of the desired size and shape. Each of the sections comprises a table top of regular trapezoidal shape having a major side of the size of one side of the outer regular polygon and a minor side parallel to the major side and two angular sides. The minor side is of the size of one side of the central polygonal opening. A plurality of vertically extending legs depend from and support the table top. Bench seats are supported on the legs spaced horizontally from the table top major side far enough for a person to sit thereon facing the table top. Bolts, screws or other supporting members secure a plurality of the table sections together in side-to-side relation in a selected configuration. The sections may secured together with the minor sides facing inward to form the desired polygon, with one section omitted to leave a service opening, or with the minor and major sides alternation to produce a linear table assembly. Rectangular table sections may be introduced into the structure to elongate or enlarge the central opening.
