This is my first post.  Have 2 LBGE's.  Am in the process of building a new table for one and am looking for some woodworking advise.  Planning on using Kreg pocket hole screws so everything is hidden.  White oak 5/4 planed to 1"x4" for frame and 8/4 planed to 1-3/4"x4" for legs.  May double up the legs to enable screwing casters to the bottom.  Basic plan is from Naked Whiz with some modifications.  Have had to overcome issue with Kreg stainless fine thread screws not being available over 1-1/4" long by setting jig to 3/4" thick material setting per Kreg tech advise.  

Problem I have not overcome is how to attach legs to frame or frame to legs, since the Kreg screws that are recommended for outdoor use are Blue-Kote or Stainless, but they don't make fine thread in Blue-Kote and nothing over 1-1/4" long in stainless.

Suggestions?  Thanks in advance for help.  

Pictures are upper frame layout & lower frame with shelf layout.  Nothing attached yet.  First picture shows what leg section would be if I glue/screw (2) 1-3/4x4" pieces together.  Top will be leathered granite.  Top frame as laid out would be if I was putting an 18x18 granite slab & wood rather than granite for the entire top.

Have you checked out Kreg's website? They have some zBGE table plans on there that may give you some ideas.

If I could tape two toothpicks together, I'd consider that an accomplishment so no help from me.

But welcome to the machine!

Can’t help with the table, but welcome.

I would suggest an air gap between the bottom of the egg and the table, and leave a gap between the table and the hinge, because the hinge drops down when you open the egg.

I’ve seen some cool two large bge tables if you’re not already to far in

Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey...above all, have fun.  Sounds like you have some good BGE run-time as most don't start this trip with two.
No help with your project but I'm sure it will turn out great.  Keep us posted.

Spax SS construction screws may be an option

Welcome to the madhouse.  304SS table here.  I would think the quality SS screws/hardware would be best for the given outdoor application.

 I don't think they have to be fine thread, I have a similar jig and I think the main thing is that you use a pan screw head.  If you use a typical screw it will split the wood apart, however using a pan head screw will give you a secure fit no matter the thread count.
