Design your own garden bench

The concrete blocks will help you to obtain a robust structure. Use them with legs and prepare some wooden slats so that they go through and form the seat. To join them, it will be enough to use a basic in every rule: polyurethane adhesive . It is even possible to make such a backrest with the help of two other concrete blocks, placed in a vertical position. As for the base, you can use a wooden surface previously cut to size and that you will add to the assembly with a special adhesive. Next, cover the top with several cushions.

If you are a DIY handyman, you just need to have a little imagination to take advantage of any old furniture that no longer serves you. On this occasion, we propose a bench created from two old chairs , which will form the structure. Of course, before using them, it is necessary to prepare the wood and give a coat of primer and paint to make it look beautiful. Attach the two chairs with slats, screws, and nails, and use a plank of wood as the base.

The two legs will be bricks and the base can perfectly be a cut wooden board or the union of several slats. Be that as it may, it is a novel initiative, very simple to put into practice. In addition, it will offer great resistance to outdoor weather conditions.

The use of pallet wood has spread to create all kinds of sturdy, inexpensive and easy-to-make outdoor furniture. The project that we show you is very simple and will only take you a few minutes. It is enough to cut a pallet right in half, and once both parts have been separated and sanded, you must overlap them, covering the upper part with a nice mat. As you will see, we have created a colorful and comfortable bench where you can relax every day without any difficulty.

If the aesthetics of the pallets do not convince you and you do not like the idea of them being seen, you can do something similar, but covering them so as not to leave them in sight. It is very simple. The idea is to create the structure from superimposed pallets and then cover them with the help of wooden plates . It is a very simple method and it will also take you little time to do it. Then you can place an attractive mat in sight and you will have a nice garden bench to enjoy this summer.

For this new idea you will also need a pallet, a benchmark in outdoor decoration. Hanging garden benches are perfect for adding to a porch or a covered area. That way, you can hang it without any problem. Of course, to obtain a resistant structure, do not forget to use chains and carabiner hooks especially suitable for roofing.

Once you have chosen the garden bench that you like the most, you only need to acquire the necessary materials to make it happen. These ideas do not require extensive knowledge in carpentry or DIY. Also, you can reuse some things to give them a second life.
