Default What's a good height for a static welding table

I've got to weld up some gates and I am getting tired of welding on the
ground. I was thinking about welding up a simple 4x8 (+/-) welding
table out of tube and I was wondering what would be a good height. I'm
thinking something that I can reach easily past the middle of the table
but not so low that I am constantly bending down to weld.

Of course then I have to be able to move the darn thing out of the way.
I don't weld every day, and my shop is pretty full of "stuff" already.


You really want the height so that it is a comfortable height. So if you are welding something small you want the height pretty high. But if you are welding something big , you want the height lower. In other words the table height should be adjustable.

Instead of one big welding table, how about a table about 3 by 4 feet and a couple of stands with a 1 foot by 1 foot top. All with height adjustment. That might be easier to move and store. If you can figure out some how so you can lift each piece with a floor jack and roll it to where you want it, that might be nice.
