How to Make a Garden Bench

Description:

I was looking to make a garden bench for my mom this week, but I couldn’t find any reasonable designs online. Then I ran across Steve Ramsey’s garden bench video and his design was exactly what I was looking for. Since there was no reason to redesign a new bench, so I just made his. This bench was pretty cheap to make and I think it came out really nice. I left a link to Steve’s video below as well as a shopping/cut list if you would like to make your own!

Shopping List:

4- 2×4’s

6- 1×3’s

1- Bottle of Wood Glue (Titebond II)

1- Can of Stain/Clear Coat
