Can you use 2X12 lumber on this frame?

I am a single woman who can not manage any of the lumbar and frame putting together. I returned the table because again because the picture ( as shown above) makes it look like the WHOLE table comes in the package. The only thing that came is the frame. I sent it back and am still waiting for the money back. Can you please help asap. Its been months . At this point , I feel like I need to take it up further with someone. Waiting patiently.

The directions don't say anything about 2x12's. It would be fine for the seats but the tabletop might be a problem, if it even would be one. The only issue would be how wide it makes the table. Might be to wide for the brackets. Would probably be better off with 2x10's at the most.

Would be possible but the bolts would be very close to the edge of the boards and may break out. We used 2x10 boards.

I am not sure if a 2x4 would work. I am using them in 1x4 panels and they work fine, but not sure if there would be enough threading left to secure them to a 2x4.

Yes. As to the four legs question, it depends. If you are referring to those metal plates into which bolt topped legs can be srewed, no. Four by Fours with bracing yes, perhaps even 2x2s with bracing. Otherwise you wil not get a steady feel, there will be an unsubstantial feel, some sway.

yes. 2x6 boards (which is what this is designed for) refers to the with before it is trimmed at the lumber mill. after trimming a 2x6 is technically a 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Yes you can but remember Plywood would not be as strong as 2+8. Plywood might bend and brake, you would not want to get hurt.

Yes, but you'll have to treat the wood. I'm using some of my shelves to store firewood, but used wood preservative on the 2x4's.

Yes you can...I bought one a raised metal frame for mine...that would work fine

I just use a wooden slatted platform bed and that is all that is required. DO NOT buy a box frame for reasons other than wanting to raise the bed higher off the ground. I would add that had I had it to do over again, I would have dropped from a 4 to a 1 or 2 since I like a very hard bed. a good product.

If you are trying to double the width, I would say no. If you just want them side by side, then I don't see why not. The bars require the frame for stability. Just as an aside, I think I read a few comments where some needed to add a little would glue on the dowel to make sure it was secure in the hole in the frame. We didn't have that problem, however.

The answer is no..your not to heavy...I would suggest bolting a piece of 2x6 wood across two ceiling joists and then bolting bracket to the 2x6 block...it most likely will be about 24" (+/-)...the more bolts the more times you divide and distribute the weight...

I notched out a 4x8 to sit on top, and used another with 2x4's and a piece of plywood so I could hang things from the bottom. Don't know how fancy you want to get with it.

It can but it is best done with a backer board. I'd use either 1/2" or 3/4" MDF or plywood.

I suppose you could hang it. Thick pieces. Probably need some framing for it just to be safe.

The BoWrench works fine with 2x6 lumber. It's designed to be used with either. Straightening and fastening 2x6 redwood is a one man operation once you practice with it a bit.

The 2x4 category should not be considered light framing. I would not even use this tool for 2x2. This is a trim installation tool, where 1/2" should be considered the max. I found the 16 gauge nails to be more akin to wire than a hardened nail, and tend to follow the easiest path. Best for nailing trim into a stud, which tend to be softer than joists.

Sorry, NO. The base is wide enough for a 6 by 6 inch piece of wood ( pressure-treated preferred) which can then be mounted on a 4 by 4 inch post. The 2x2 is too small for a secure mount.
