Public Camp Manual

The Lassen type camp table has proved generally satisfactory, and with certain modifications is shown in this Manual as the accepted type for this Region.

The table length has been increased, to allow for attachment of cupboards, as shown on page 49. These cupboards may be built separately, of 1" x 4" T and G, on a 1" x 2" frame, and bolted or screwed to the table proper. It is sometimes desirable to construct longer tables for the use of large picnic parties. This same design may be expanded to any desired length for such purpose. It might be advisable to set the legs eight feet apart on the longer tables, bracing the seat boards with 2" x 4" boards set on edge. In building long tables, it will be well to stagger the joints to the top boards, to increase the strength of the table.

Concrete Table Concrete tables have been used extensively in the camps of the Southern California Forests, where wooden facilities are often broken and used for fuel. Information regarding the construction of concrete tables may be obtained from the Regional Forester.
