Garden Bench

Intro: Garden Bench

Garden bench

Size 2m x 0,5m x 0,5m

Time: 3 days

Net cost: $15

STEP 1: Step 1: Project

We want to make four identical benches and place them around a campfire.

We make the project: the radius to the bench must be so that we can put four benches close to each other and it will be a semi-circle around the fire.

Our sizes:

1. distance to the fire - 2 meters

2. the far edge of the bench - 2 meters

3. proximal edge of the bench - 1,5 meters

4. the width of the bench - 0,5 meters

5. the height of the bench - 0,5 meters

STEP 2: Step 2: Measure Out, Saw Off, Process the Edges With a File

Sizes:

34 seat boards: 2cm x 5 cm x 50 cm

6 legs: 5 cm x 7 cm x 50 cm

2 connecting boards for seat (far edge): 4 cm x 4 cm x 100 cm

2 connecting boards for seat (a proximal edge): 4 cm x 4 cm x 80 cm

3 connecting boards from far edge to a proximal edge: 4 cm x 4 cm x 40 cm

STEP 3: Step 3: Painting

Next day we paint our boards.

STEP 4: Step 4: Frame for the Bench

Next day after painting we start the frame for the bench.

Legs connects with metal corners.

STEP 5: Step 5: the Seat

The rays of our seat should be lined semicircle.

We lay out it easily with the rope tied to a stick.

Our rays we connect from the inside of the frame.

To turn over the bench and do not break the rays, we use paper scotch

STEP 6: Step 6: Final Stage

To finalise our bench we connect side boards.

STEP 7: Step 7: Invite Friends

When we finished our garden bench many friends came to see it.

Next parts of bench and fireplace are coming soon!

Looks like a good project. What timber do you suggest to use for the seat boards (in Melbourne Australia conditions?

I really like the looks of this bench. I have a few questions though. Could someone breakdown the measurements in inches? If not I guess I could do a little work and look online to convert. I saw where it said to use metal brackets to make the sets of legs. I didn't see how you connect the three sets of legs together. Someone else asked but I didn't see a reply what did you use to put seat boards on?

[NathanU9]

What did you use to connect the seat boards and make them stay onto the frame?

Nicely done sir! Quick question. What stain did you use for the bottom pieces? I really love the faux metal look it gives from a distance!
