Should you Build your Outdoor Dining Table?

I've never really been the handy sort, so initially I was leaning towards purchasing a pre made manufactured Outdoor Dining Table. Upon further research though, I found loads of designs, and really the only materials I would need to build my own dining table is screws and an electric drill. I decided to put a little more research into my outdoor dining table options and went to Home Depot to get ideas. The floor-people at Home Depot were very helpful, advising which types of lumber to use, and pointing me to the proper trim that I could install on my outside patio dining table.
