This is a quick DIY project that will help you build a garden seat for your home. A bench can add function to your outdoor space. It can be made from many materials. It can be made of wood, stone, cinderblocks, crates, or even plastic. The most important thing to consider when choosing a material is the type of seating and the size of that seat.

Drill pilot holes in the lumber and screw them together to secure the braces. Now attach the backrest and slats to the supports. To finish, use 2 1/2'' screws.

Measure from the front and back to build the bench frame. Measure the width and length of the planks. The 2-x scrap will be used to mark where the center of your frame is. Next, trim the arms and legs to the correct lengths and align them. Once the arms are cut to the proper length, attach them. The arms should be aligned with the back leg, with a minimum of 3/4 inch between the front and the sides.
