A simple DIY project will allow you to build a garden bench in your backyard. A bench is an excellent way to increase functionality in your outdoor space. You can make it from a variety of materials. It can be made of wood, stone, cinderblocks, crates, or even plastic. When choosing a material to make a bench, the most important consideration is whether you need it to be of a certain type and how large.

After choosing the material for your bench, start by building the legs. Use 2x4 lumber for the legs. Cut each piece at a 15-degree angle. Next, align the braces and align them with the legs. Next, drill pilot holes for the pilot holes and attach the two pieces of lumber together. Next, attach the backrest/slats to your supports. Finish the job with 2 1/2-inch screws.

Measure the back and the front to construct the bench frame. Measure the length and width the planks. Use the 2-x scrap for marking the center. Cut the legs and arms to length, and align them. After trimming the arms and legs to the required lengths, attach the arms. Attach the arms flush to the back legs. Once you've assembled the frame, add a finishing coat and any decorative elements you want to give the bench.

Once the frame is completed, you can start installing the legs and arms. To build the back support of the bench, measure from the back and front. With a scrap 2x wood, mark the centre. Once you've attached the back leg, attach your legs and arms to it. Next, attach the arms and legs to the back legs. The right finish can be chosen to extend the life of your bench.

Once the bench is assembled you can add decorative details or finish it. The wooden slats should be two metres long. You can trim the slats to your desired length. The legs can also be attached to the sides of the slats. Lastly, attach the seat and the armrests. To make your bench more attractive, you can add slats to both the top and bottom depending on its size.

If you'd like to build a garden bench, first you need to build the frame and armrest supports. You will need to cut the armrest support at an angle 75 degrees using a circular cutter. Once the armrests have been attached, the dowels can be used to attach the bottom legs to the seat. Attach the concrete slats with two 1/2 inch screws.
