Thanks!

I saw one for sale down in Alton. As you go around the lowest part of the lake and head back north on the back road East Side drive?) it is on the right side of the road. Just about a 1/4 mile from the Alton marinas/beach area. I think there were two. One big, one small.

Some of the smaller lumber yards sell kits.

The side street that goes next to what used to the be hardware store(now the skating rink) in Laconia (off of court street) usually has a guy selling some. I haven't stopped to look close, but they looked from the road to be a decent picnic table for somewhere around $100, IIRC.

For some really nice, homemade picnic tables, in table lengths from 48" to 120" (which is huge), and built with 2" thick live green pine or oak; go to Route 175-A in Holderness, which is just up beyond the Holderness School. And, this is about two miles from Route 93-exit 25. Sitting in the front yard of a residential house, you will easily see from the road about six different homemade picnic tables in various sizes, and a lot of stacked green lumber. Taking down trees and doing insured tree work, and building tables from the tree take-downs is what it's all about.

There is a guy with a saw mill who usually has them as well as a few other things out in front of his house for sale. Coming in from Gilmanton side of 107it is on the right just before you go down the steep hill to Laconia line and just before the ice areana.
I believe prices range from 120 -150

I have never been, but I have heard that the state prison in Concord sells very affordable picnic tables: http://www.nh.gov/nhdoc/nhci/wood/

They sell them at we refer to as the "lawn junk store" on route 104 on right on the way to X23

Berlin, Gorham, Littleton, Northumberland, Groveton, Whitefield, Lancaster, and Colebrook are all home to generations of unemployed from the closed-down paper mills, who used to make sixteen to twenty two dollars per hour turning trees into finished paper and cardboard, that then got trucked all over the Unites States, east of the Mississippi River.

Someone just outside of Whitefield has some very nice looking picnic tables for just twenty dollars.......along with the message.... "Need money for the town property tax - picnic tables - cheap!"

Hi, can you give me an exact location, I would like to pick one up this weekend if possible, closest to the lake would be best

Do you have any contact information?

fatlazyless 08-12-2010 07:41 AM

Sorry, didn't see a phone number for the spot up in Whitefield as I drove past.

The phone number for the Holderness guy should be good. His tables run about $120 & up, and are real quality made tables, with some nice heavy green boards that's about maybe 14-18" in width for each heavy board.

Guy on 107 in Belmont
 
Jeff Fendley (603-524-0503) on 107 on the Belmont side of the skating rink made a terrific picnic table for us last weekend for $125. It's incredibly solid and well-crafted. Definitely recommend him.
