Easy Homemade Garden Bench

[@sultankaftar]

Watched absolutely 100s of how to build garden bench on KZbin unfortunately most of them was not useful and the rest unclear or complicated , but the way you have explained it’s amazing, very easy , clear and smart. Thank you 🙏

[@SoatMon]

You are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to let me know!

[@kieranoconnor3504]

Just made this today. My first wood project. I'm delighted with it; thanks so much for laying it out so well. Keep up the good work.

[@SoatMon]

That is awesome!! I am so happy to be a part of your first wood project. I hope this is the beginning of many successful projects for you. Thank you for letting me know.

[@markourtimeshort1854]

WHATS UP SOAT MAN ITS BEEN 4 YEARS SINCE I BUILT 4 OF YOUR BENCHES AND 2 SWINGS LOVE THEM ALL STILL THANKS AGAIN

[@SoatMon]

That's Great! Thanks for letting me know!

[@greglippert443]

I have made about 7 of these and gave them away as gifts. I use the Japanese art form of Sugi Ban and use cedar wood. Looks amazing

[@SoatMon]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!

[@greglippert443]

@@SoatMon I forgot to tell you I also use wood dyes and stains over the sugi ban and it looks incredible. Thank you for giving me the easiest plans in the world it helped with my confidence.

[@rocketdog4539]

Just finished building it - took two weeks working on it a little each day during this shutdown. Used redwood and took my time sanding it down real smooth, going to finish it up with Danish oil tomorrow. Looks great, thanks so much!

[@SoatMon]

That is awesome!

[@phillipwood5710]

I built this today, turned out great. I used my table saw and a taper jig to cut the tapers, no sanding no planing. Thanks for posting this!

[@SoatMon]

Your welcome, glad it worked out for you.

[@waynesjeepman]

I just built this bench. You did a great job on your instructional video. I had no problem building this. You explained everything step by step. Thanks

[@SoatMon]

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know!

[@LoneWolf-yp2mo]

Just finished my Garden Bed run for the year and was looking for new projects ....... NAILED IT !! Thanks so much for this video ! I always trust a glue and screw man !! Just sayin'. I retired 10 years ago and went in the hospital for a life saving operation .... then ANOTHER !!! I'm to much of an old War Horse to give up. I build things and sell them CHEAP. I like the idea of giving back for all the things people have done for me over the years .... makes an old man feel useful again !! Take care !! Thanks again.

[@SoatMon]

That's great. I'm glad you liked it. I just became a grandpa this year so I'm not far behind you.

[@ManfredTiebs]

I made lots of these unique benches and made a ton of cash. Thanks for this video. Such an easy bench to make.

[@SoatMon]

That's awesome! Thank you for letting me know!

[@detailguy01]

I just finished making this bench. It took me about 5 hours, but that was because I kept coming back to the video to make sure I was doing it right. I'll make a couple more, and then make a few chairs by shortening the 48" boards to 26" or so. I did all the straight cuts with a chop saw, and the backrest and arm cuts with a jig saw. A band saw would make it easier, but really, you could do this project just fine with hand saws and sandpaper. This is the first DIY video I've ever seen that explained everything so well that I never had one minute of confusion. I wrote down the measurements, and all the steps as I did them, so now I have a written building plan in case I forget how to do something. Thank you for this video. I love the bench, even if it takes two men and boy to lift it. :)

[@SoatMon]

You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know it helped you!

[@wataboy2777]

Well Sir , today April 28 2019, I made a bench using your plan and it came out very good. All the measurements were accurate, Thank you. Now on the back rest I would extend about three inches on both sides on the top two pieces. I just completed mine and my daughter is asking me to make her one . Wow, I thank you for your time and your encouragements in making me so useful. Edward. God Bless.

[@SoatMon]

Awesome, thanks for letting me know!

[@Kenmil1960]

I made one today and its perfect. I did alter the standard European equivalent of 2 x 6 ans 2 x 4 Timbers to US dimensions and worked from your cut list .it was a project I did with my son and he enjoyed doing it as much as i did .

[@SoatMon]

That is awesome! Thanks for letting me know! I'm glad it helped you and your son. Thank you for taking the time to teach your son how to build things!

[@darylkc]

I came across this video the other day and have made the bench today. I just want to say thanks as the bench is great and your video made it very easy to make. Thanks again

[@SoatMon]

You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know you liked it!

[@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465]

I just finished building this bench yesterday and found it very easy to build when I watched the video and took down all the measurements. The result is a very nice, very sturdy bench. Nearly anyone could build this with a minimum of power tools. The buy-list and cut-list are quite accurate. Hardly any waste or scrap wood left over. Cost me $40.18 for the pine lumber I bought at Home Depot. If you're not an expert woodworker, and you don't have a lot of money, don't be afraid to tackle this project.

[@SoatMon]

That's awesome! I'm glad it worked out for you. Thank you for your encouraging words for others!

[@jannerkev]

Made one of these 2 years ago. Very easy instructions to follow. We all love our bench. Thanks a lot.

[@SoatMon]

That's awesome, thanks for letting me know!

[@paulwilliams4118]

Hi I built my bench from your plans, absolutely awesome. Mine didn’t come out quite as good as yours but I’m more than happy with it and it’s so solid. Thank you.

[@SoatMon]

You're welcome! I'm sure yours turned out great. Thanks for letting me know.

[@trutwijd]

Built one last weekend, I did a little bit of modification, my wife and I are both over 6ft so I made it higher. I compared to a camping chair for desired height. We are sitting at 20in so I made the legs 28in high. I might do even higher next bench as we like a higher arm rest too but easy enough to put a couple 2x4's under the arm rest to raise it. I also made it 12 in wider (60in vs 48in) by using 2x6x10's for seat/back instead of 2x6x8 (and one 2x4x10) and added a short 2x4 to the base middle to prevent sag. turned out wonderful, very nice plan. I will probably build a couple more. I might see if I can find a way to angle the seat slightly, I find a flat bench a little more uncomfortable vs one that has a slight decline towards the back.

[@SoatMon]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!

[@garydahn6728]

Made a couple of these for the fire pit. Turned out so nice I made 3 more. Thanks for posting! Very easy, and solid!

[@SoatMon]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!

[@jakebrace]

Me and my girlfriend are very new to wood working but we did this in a couple hours and it came out really awesome! Thanks

[@SoatMon]

That's great!! Thank you for letting me know. I'm glad it worked out well, keep up the good work. Stick with it, I'm sure you have many more awesome projects ahead. Thanks for watching!

[@KenFairhurst]

Made one of these today, thank you so much for a detailed and easy to construct solid bench. One thing I found was that the cross braces for the legs should have been 23 1/2" an not 23" so I have a bit of an overlap. May be due to the slightly different timber sizes in the UK....but I can live with that..

[@SoatMon]

That is great! I'm glad the video was helpful to you. I hope you enjoy your bench and thank you for watching my video.

[@garysvantubelife]

Simple and effective, strong and will last for ages, great build, well informed tutorial, I will be making one of these next weekend , I have just the spot, in the sun, we do get the sun a couple times a year so it's best to enjoy it , Lovely job thanks. From the UK 👍

[@SoatMon]

That is awesome! I hope you enjoy building it. Thanks for watching!

[@scallopface]

Thanks for your video. I used the same design except changed the Arm rest , seat and back boards to 5/4 deck boards. I also increased the width from 48 in to 54 inches (the back rest 51In) and finally made the top back board the same length as the seat boards so it extends a bit and then rounded it off. Looks great and was easy to build. Thanks again.

[@SoatMon]

Sounds like a great bench. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

[@TheFrogman8572]

I just finished 2 benches they are easy and very sturdy. Thanks for the video.

Just gave ny granddaughter her bench for her B day. 3 one got her done also found a swing plan that's easy and as ive finished my last one till spring i noticed i could have left the legs off your plan and used that for a swing oh well learn and live .The weather here is perfect for yard stuff so been changing my metal shed some so i can get to my saws finished mt son's swing for Christmas and got to make a a frame for that . Thanks again for your ideas and imfo .RD

Thanks Allen!

[@Rosales79Diego]

Thank you so much for your video.I made it. It was very easy and I am an amateur when it comes to this stuff. It took me three days to finished. However, I did Shou sugi ban, stained it red and applied linseed oil as a finish. It came out very nice.Planning to make a couple more.

[@SoatMon]

Thank you for your kind comment and good luck with your building!

[@talk2kev]

Nice bench I like the fact that they are heavy they will stay put and wear better being that they are beefy. I made two benches some what like this years ago. I did notice the feet started to rot after 5 years due to the end grain was touching the ground. My fix for that was 5/8 decking boards cut in style like a coaster attached it to the feet as sacrificial boards that could be replaced. I cut each leg about a inch then added the coaster board to the end. Great project

[@SoatMon]

That's a great idea. Most treated 2x4s you buy are not actually rated for direct soil contact so that would be a good way around it. Thanks for watching!

[@heywoodjablome7834]

Thank you for this - I have made so many of these - sold some gave some away. I do Shou Sugi ban to finish them. Then stain or dye to order. The main part for me is the prep- cutting sanding rounding off edges then burning. If outside I burn to char then strip with a restorer. Then stain or dye, seal with Halycon total boat clear. Then assemble

[@SoatMon]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I had some scrap wood and your video was the first one I found that looked easy enough to build. The bench turned out great! The one change I would make is to extend the length of the legs to maybe 25" to raise the arms up a bit. Again, this was super simple and a heavy duty bench to add to my yard! Thank you!

[@stevecaruso8199]

Just built this bench and wow. So awesome to build something and when you’re done you sit down on it. Lol. I’m thinking those back braces could be notched out so they would sit back further and then allow the back boards and seat to align better but this was easy and straightforward. Love it!! I didn’t have a router and my jigsaw stopped working. Used and angle grinder to round the arm rests and then sanded them a lot with an orbiter sander. It’s not perfect but honestly gives it a more rustic touch so it’s all good. Thanks for the video!!

[@SoatMon]

That's awesome, thanks for letting me know. It sounds like you are very creative with your tools.

[@tinamcgee5092]

If I need it to be a three seater would I need to put a board in the middle to make it stronger. So it won’t crack in the middle when someone sits on it?

[@SoatMon]

It depends on who is sitting on it but it would probably be fine since it is made from 2x6s. I hope it goes well for you!

[@trutwijd]

I made a 60in 3 seater with 2x6x10's, and did a short 2x4 in the middle, can't hurt I figure?

[@markourtimeshort1854]

On the back rest if you cut a notch so the piece would rest as a shoulder you would also gain more tilt for your back . i didn't see any instruction to do so and i never saw a pic of the back of the bench but i will do so nest time

Just about to make a start on 3 of these rascals. Question..if the width of the inner frame is 24" (ie 20" length with 2 x 2" widths of the 48" length) then why is the top side piece only 23" long. Should it not be 24 " ? I'll crack on and see how it goes...keeping the faith...

[@SoatMon]

I'm not quite understanding your question. I hope they turn our well for you!

[@stiltish]

@@SoatMon Thanks for getting back to me. Time 10.00 on your video. You make the rectangular frame that is 24" wide. However, the end pieces are only 23 " wide. Should they not be 24 "? I cut mine to 24 " and its fine. Used left over decking for' back' and 'sit on' slats thats fine with an additional support underneath. 6 X 2 works well for back braces (someone else was asking). Completed first, oiled up and looks fab. I'm grateful to you and cracking on with a five footer next.

I just made one and it was pretty easy with your drawings and the video. I was wondering if 1X6 would work instead of the 2X6?

It probably would but you might have to reinforce the seat depending on how bendy the 1x6s are. Thanks for letting me know you built one.

[@Spartan1234ish]

You really make good videos illustrating how the job is done with a nicely done material list. These benches will be great for a rustic setting I'm putting together for outside. We are about the same age and we use the same methods of measuring and cutting. Again Thanks for the great video illustration.

[@shanestaton7391]

I'm having a bit of trouble. Once I fit the back braces there isn't enough room for three 2x6's in the seat. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

[@SoatMon]

Not really sure but I am guessing that if you are using treated lumber and it is soaking wet, it may need to dry so it will shrink a little. Could also be a mismeasurement or your lumber may be a little bit different. I'm sorry you are having trouble. I do appreciate you watching my videos.

[@bikerpap1969]

Question how would you make the angle cut on the back support pieces if you don't have a band saw?

[@SoatMon]

I would probably clamp it to a table can cut it with a circular saw. You would also use a taper attachment and run it through a table saw. A hand saw would also work but would not be my first choice. Good luck in your build!
