Garden bench seat

Gday just want to thank everyone for the advice on what to finish my garden bench seat with so it wouldn’t rot.

Purchased all my products for the entire job from Bunnings.

If anyone is interested in making one themselves just PM me and I will give details.

Next project birdhouse!

Re: Garden Bench seat

Fantastic work, @Jim57; I love the design you've chosen. That tapered cut you've done on the backrest support really adds a nice contemporary touch.

 

I'm sure there will be plenty of members interested in building one of these, so if you could provide as much detail as possible here, that would be appreciated.

 

Well done, and I look forward to seeing what project you tackle next.

@Jim57 this looks fantastic! You might want to consider posting the step by step publicly, I Know members would appreciate being able to follow your build instantly to create their own versions. Well done on this :smile:

Re: Garden bench seat

Please find a utube link which details the building of the bench seat .It’s gives details in imperial so you will need to convert to metric.

Please be aware when the guy in the video talks about the 2nd 30 degree cut in the longer leg he says 30 inches from the first 30 degree cut it’s actually 38inches.
