Classic garden bench plans.
The design is an arbor with a bench under it.
This garden bench is truly a north american classic with heavy 3 square legs and thick 1 1 2 arms.

I can t thank you enough for the great bench plan dan says.
The bench is 5 long and stands just over 1 5 off the ground.
It requires a single 8 long 2x12 one 8 long 2x4 and three 1 2 deck screws.
Required tools for this project.

Dan multiplied the bench plans by two and constructed a corner table that connects the matching benches.
Stringers and seat slats also continue the theme as they are constructed out of 1 1 2 thick material.
As you can see in the image this bench isn t made up of anything too complex so it should be a perfect project for a beginner.
This could be a gorgeous sitting area to be enjoyed for years to come.
The assembled piece fits perfectly in the corner of a patio.
For best results and the longest life for your bench you should recoat it every year.
