This furniture walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.
Does anyone need seating in their back yard? Here are some great plans from Tru Tales Designs and Drafts. I can picture these around a fire pit, having a backyard party with friends and throwing marshmallows in each others faces… fun! These are the benches I made for the play area in our yard for the Grandchildren. I made 4 of them, 2 for each of the corners by the driveway, rather than have a fence. I was going for a look that would be cohesive with my landscape and not look totally playground. These break down for winter storage, because they had to be out of the way for snow removal.Here’s how I did them. Make 2 for each corner you want them in. MATERIALS: 2X6X8 Pressure Treated Boards (2 for each bench) 1X4X8 Pressure Treated Boards (3 for each bench) 2 1/2″ Coated Deck Screws (I used 3 in each area of the 2X6s, total of 30) 1 5/8″ Coated Deck Screws (I used 2 in each area of the 1X4s, 10 for each board, total of 60) Chimney Blocks (2 for each bench) Exterior Latex Paint Deck Stain and Sealer TOOLS: Power Miter Saw or Table Saw Power Drill Small Square Corner clamps or Band Clamp Pipe Clamps Paint Brush or Roller
