I am mostly going to use it to build outdoor pergolas, trellises, and kids

THAT Statement leads me to completely agree with what larry worte

Get a good compound miter saw (12" blade) and circ saw instead.

How are you going to cut 4x4s and other long lumber on a table saw?
Wrong tool.

Even for stuff like shelving, a circ saw with a guide will do just fine.
