Is it possible to imagine a vacation in the garden or near the house with absolutely no benches? These are not just wide chairs in the open air, this is true poetry. Naturally, they can be purchased, but the wooden benches made by yourself and according to your own design will not only look amazing, but will perfectly complement your design. If you do not know how to do this, you can offer a fairly simple option.
Let's look at how to make wooden benches with your own hands. It is worth noting that they are stationary and portable. You can consider the option of a portable design, which is very convenient, since you can move it to the place where you want to spend time. This version of the bench is made of
edged boards. Sidewalls can be made from a board, the thickness of which is 50 millimeters, and all the rest can be only 25 millimeters thick. This article is about a bench, the length of which is 170 centimeters. Sitting in height will be approximately 40 centimeters. If we talk about the total height with the back, then it is 100 centimeters. Wooden benches are made according to different principles, in this case, the connection through the grooves will be used.
On the sides of the bench boards have grooves at the joints between each other, their thickness is half the thickness of the boards, and the width is equal to the width of the boards. A cross is formed, where the boards will be placed in one plane. Naturally, with such a connection you will be tormented, but such efforts will be more than paid off with the long-term operation of the bench, since not a single nail can give such a reliable connection as such a method. To provide additional reliability, you will need to fasten everything with
furniture bolts. DIY wooden benches can have different shapes, but we suggest making a rounded version of the back, which will allow you to spend time on it with maximum comfort. You can draw the shape of the back yourself, depending on your ideas. After applying the sketch, you can cut it with a jigsaw. It is important to consider that both sides should be identical in shape. Otherwise,
park benches will be uneven. It will be most correct to cut the necessary shape of the sidewalls even before you collect the crosses, it will be much more convenient to work, and you can also make the backs exactly the same.
When the sidewalls are ready, you can do the installation. The sidewalls need to be fixed at a certain distance from each other, and then fill the longitudinal boards, forming a seat and back. It is better to use screws for fastening. The design needs to be strengthened, for which diagonal boards are used that connect the sidewalls to each other. On the lower part of the sidewalls, you can attach boards that will be in contact with the ground when the bench is installed. They will take the whole shock of damp. If the transverse boards begin to rot, they can be replaced, which will keep the entire bench in good condition.
Now you know how to make wooden benches with your own hands. It remains to try all this in practice.
