Outdoor Storage Bench // Woodworking How To | I Like To Make Stuff

This outdoor storage bench is a very simple woodworking project!
Sponsored by www.wooditsreal...
We've got a pool, so we also have LOTs of pool noodles and other backyard stuff. In an effort to hide the pool supplies and toys away when not in use, I made this SUPER simple outdoor storage bench out of basic lumber from the home center. It's made to stay outside, house things that don't mind getting wet (like pool noodles) and can be built in an afternoon.

Yes, I am moving! This was built at our current home as a way to tidy up the backyard as we prepare it for sale. The bench will stay at this house.

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

I Like To Make Stuff That'll be a nice present for the future home owners. Great video, Bob!

[@familyratcliff4706]

I Like To Make Stuff when you move are you selling the house or renting because renting is a good way to earn money

[@alsanova]

Will you be creating a mini series "I Like To Pack Stuff" ?? :D

[@sync3454]

please make a Guitar with your own design,logo and your color

[@Skeptycal]

I am moving this summer, also. It is exciting to start a new adventure and plenty of chances for new videos! I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.

[@hugopohlak5831]

One of the highlights of my day is when Bob posts a video! Love your videos man!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's awesome, thank you so much Hugo!!

[@maskedyoutuber9344]

you are underrated sir you deserve more subscribers

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Awww.. Thank you!! That's very kind!

[@horixe0n]

I Like To Make Stuff he's right you deserve heaps more subscribers and to be honest I don't know why you haven't achieved the large fan base that other big KZbin channels have...

[@Sephyrasx]

Masked KZbinr you are so right

[@halsti99]

i dont want to seem rude here, but he is already over a million.. what do you guys expect?! he is already part of the biggest chanels on youtube. i dont know a single woodworking / home DIY project chanel that is bigger than he is you really cant call that underrated....

[@maskedyoutuber9344]

halsti99 so can I say pew die pie is overrated and I'm also not being rude bro

[@vr4966]

Awesome!! thank you, perfect for storm shutters.

[@loganwhite4197]

Hallelujah. Thanks for making it simple, everything else is so overbuilt and overwhelming.

[@jackiezhong5900]

man, only took this video that made me want to watch rest of them.. right on point no extra time wasting info, no fancy editting... i love it . and learned..

[@tho33mas]

Looks good Bob! the only thing I'd change is when laying the deck boards out is to have the exposed surface of the deck boards be the crown of the wood grain. For longevity, as the boards move around the pith, you want the board to take a crown shape instead of a cup shape. This prevents water from laying on the boards

[@gregmfarmer]

Hi there - I am new to DIY and wood work, is there an obvious way to tell which is the crown of the wood grain? Sounds like a great tip.

[@D88D01]

Hey, Bob, I don't even know what half the tools you use are or build any of this stuff, but I still love watching these amazing projects come together and it inspires me to persevere even when there are mistakes in life that I make! Thanks!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's awesome to hear! Thanks You!

[@D88D01]

I Like To Make Stuff And also would you mind subscribing to me? :D

[@Makebuildmodify]

I need to build one of these so bad. I like the design. Clean and easy to build and looks good too.

[@jamesmccullough8621]

Very well thought out design and construction. This bin was already tested in its previous iteration, so it's really a "should-be" rather than just a "has been"!

[@johnwente1413]

I'm glad I ran across this video today. My daughter and son-in-law are going to have a pool installed and they will need some storage space for pool items. This is the perfect solution. I have all the tools needed and my son-in-law is a great helper. I'm sure if we had all materials on hand, we could build something like this in half a day. BTW, I love the bike t-shirt. I've never seen one quite like that. Since you obviously are a cyclist, you will know what I mean when I tell you I am and old guy and I now ride a 'bent and love it. With degenerative disk disease in my upper and lower back it just became too painful to ride an upright, but the 'bent has enabled me to keep riding into my 70s.

[@themakersstuff]

A great and simple project. Happy moving Bob.

[@danthemakerman]

Just last night my wife was looking at buying an outdoor sofa for the patio, I think this might be a better option considering this will have storage. Thanks for sharing.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Excellent!

[@thesepretzels2058]

You need your own tv show but im glad its on KZbin. Modern day Bob Villa

[@jlocke62]

Very attractive! And, more importantly, it looked simple to build. I like simple.

[@johnramminger]

This video could not have been more timely. I need to build some of these to move my lawn stuff out of the garage (my shop!) Thanks Bob, and congrats on your move. It will be a long summer but worth it!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Awesome! I hope it's helpful!

[@evoashes]

I'm very impressed that you didn't fall into the pool while building the bench! I would have so tripped and fell in within the first 20 min! Love this idea! Can't wait to see your new shop!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks!

[@donttakemeserious]

Bob you do amazing projects all the time and I watch every single video even though I sometimes don't even have the intention of building the thing you make but I just really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the awesome work! 😊

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's very kind, thank you!!

[@RawwVeggies]

Outdoor storage/casket! Very practical!

[@HandToolRescue]

That is the driest pressure treated wood I have ever seen! Congrats on that find.

[@ΕύαΡίζου]

I love your videos I know I can't make those things but I still love watching you making them

[@eric2morrow]

I just built this according to your plans and it turned out great. Thanks!

[@ZygoteBrownDesigns]

You make it look so easy.

[@murraymacrae1450]

Very cool. Thanks for posting. Gonna modify to make an indoor dining room bench.

[@tuckercoffin2164]

I love watching your videos and seeing you create stuff. It's somehow relaxing.

[@tuckercoffin2164]

Please excuse my unfortunate wording. I like seeing you make stuff. *

[@intheshop9192]

Time to show this to the wife to see if she'll sign off on me making some smaller ones for our porch. Good job Bob!

[@Remodelaholic]

So nice to have convenient storage and seat close to the pool. Nice work Bob, super helpful!

[@Thom4123]

Very nicely done great outdoor storage.

[@TerrifiedRat]

Great item very Portable and easy to clean.

[@sanjoyroy]

The best video I watched! Got the idea now! Thank you mate!

[@steveslenderman]

Looks great! I'm sure the new home owners will love it. Add some cushions to the top and now you have a nice bench to sit and watch the kids swim.

[@joshuaerwindelossantos1987]

Bob, awesome project video. When you're done, it is like the same with the outdoor plumbing sink project when you were trying to cool off in the pool during building it.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Really like the simplicity of this one! We're going to try to do a few limited tool videos since one of the most frequent comments we get are about not having all the tools needed for a project

[@brickdaddiy]

EvanAndKatelyn I'd watch that 😃

[@munkytaint666]

been watching LOTS of outdoor storage box "how to's" trying to figure out how to best make one for my needs, and yours is THE BEST. great job! also, HUGE, so hell yeah for that!

[@r0nea]

LOve it! Especially how quick and to the point the video is!

[@trentoncook8969]

i love building stuff that my parents could use every day, makes me feel good when i see their faces light up at what i've created. My father needs this for his pool. so i think im going to build a 5 foot long one (as he doesnt have a very large amount of pool stuff). thanks for the inspiration! Keep doing what you're doing, you're great at it!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Man, 10 feet of storage, that would be nice! And way to hold the tuck on that cannonball 😃

[@donrobertson4940]

Two weeks later you need to build another one.

[@Slovenianwoodworker]

Nice work man I like that kind of projects. Only thing that bothering me are mechanical joints. Screws. I use them too but always making sure that i hide them. Thanks and good luck

[@browill9]

Great job. Im gonna make one for my grandkids toys. Thanx

[@masterofnone]

Great summer project Bob.

[@JxnTby]

This is great. Appreciate your succinctness!

[@PaulMeyette]

Nice work "Bobby" , I needed some outdoor furniture ideas.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Hahahaha

[@HoffmanEngineering]

Easy and functional! Nicely done!

[@Geeksmithing]

That's pretty benchin' Bob! I totally need this... Thanks!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Hahah! Yeah man!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Lol!

[@v68274]

This is great man.. Your videos are my new way of passing time.

[@stephenbrewer7650]

This looks great, it's exactly what I need for storage and simple to build.

[@ricardodelacruz877]

great thing to have in every house.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Bob. You always add value based projects! For this I'm grateful, I know others are as well. Looks great!

[@mkrbrkr]

Awesome Bob. I'm also frustrated with treated-lumber-warpage- you hide it well!

[@goodgoat6019]

As usual, another great project video.

[@blooelmo]

Brilliant! I wish I'd seen that trick about flipping the frame a month ago bc it's such a simple way to handle the frame building I'm a little annoyed I didn't think of it! Fantastic video, thanks!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

:) Thanks!

[@hannahmurphy4845]

i do a bit of woodworking myself and whenever i need inspiration for a project i watch your videos I've rewatched all of your videos so many time and they never get old i love them!!

[@malonecustomdesigns]

Color checker for the win!

[@sharon.d7291]

Thanks for this vid I was looking for a project for my deck cushions, having watched this earlier today i bought my wood and I’ve started a similar project Hopefully I’ll get it finished by tomorrow!

[@shadabmushaddab]

great job mr. Bob, explaining the finer details of the work makes the video more enjoyable :)

[@roderikvanderkelen]

Great idea to put the wire mesh at the bottom. That's something I'll put in mine as well. Keep up the great work! Love your videos.

[@jnxd9794]

Hi bob 🙋‍♀️, love your vids. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@RyanPrather33]

That's an awesome project! I'm going to adapt this to put on my deck as we have an octagon that I was going to put benches around for seating then add a table! Thanks and great job, Bob!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Nice! Good thinking!

[@ChippedBuilds]

Love how easy and useful this project is.

[@yaparker22]

I come looking for ideas, and this one was the perfect result to what I was looking for. My bench is different than then one you are doing, but it gave me the perfect the adjustment to fit what I want to do. Thanks

[@pdadegaonkar]

Awesome video Bob!

[@jeffp.5080]

Added bonus... Small bit of mesh behind hand holes to stop small critters.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Nice project to store the kid's toy too !

[@brandonword588]

I'll be making this one for sure

[@g.o.mfishing7709]

Made it seem way too easy man awesome video thanks might do me one of these for my porch this weekend

[@jamesjocelcalisin9361]

hi bob nice work!!!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks!

[@gorisenke]

I really appreciate your intro. I don't know why.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

:) Thanks!

[@austinlevy3399]

Hey Bob, I just got my own workshop, it's a completely blank space and so I was thinking of building a floating work bench, but i had no idea where to start. I figured you would know how to. You're probably not going to see this but it was worth a try. BTW I love all your projects and your channel.

[@wanayuni3535]

Hi, Bob. I know it's probably a lot to ask, but I've been wanting to make one of those mirror that has cabinet behind it to put accessories for so long. The only woodworking channel I enjoy watching is yours. I really hope you could make one so I could learn it to make one for myself.

[@nestorcamello4734]

Awesome build man

[@synapshotneuro]

mesh bottom, great idea. perhaps he already mentioned this, but an advantage of using just the mesh on the bottom is that you won't have moldy wood at the bottom. whatever you put in the storage box is probably wet/damp from the pool.

[@a.leblanc6561]

Definitely going to build one of these and put some cushions on it for our backyard.

[@shyaam.pon.sundar]

nice all the best Bob

[@MakersMadLab]

Awesome Bob. Gave me some good ideas for my own. I was trying to figure out how to give it some "feet" your idea is super simple. Love it!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Excellent!

[@TravisInCanada1]

Awesome sometimes the quick easy projects are great videos too.

[@ACoustaDC]

Dude.... I like you video style... nice upload.

[@jelly591]

Awesome video! I've been trying to make a solid box for storing stuff and this was the answer! Thank you!

[@JR-nq7it]

Thanks for the idea, I want to build it to store hurricane shutters in the yard and get them out of my garage. Awesome.

[@DaveyBridges]

Great work. I planned on making something similar to store our bikes outside in a secured location.

[@enzochiapet]

nicely done, excellent video work to keep it short and to the point.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really cool Bob!

[@Sonal_Mobile]

I love these quick projects you do, and this design is simple enough to be modified to fit any space...great work!

[@christopherreiser1975]

nicely done!

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Nice and simply build, good work 🤓👍

[@trojanknight7135]

think I might give this one a shot - cheers Bob

[@WildmanTech]

Handy project!

[@rosw-gd9555]

thanks that's fab & looks straight-forward! i'll let hubby off & do this myself! 😃

[@antonmessina5304]

Awesome build!!!

[@metalgrain2053]

This is awesome Bob! I made a very similar bench with Cedar boards and wanted to add storage to it. Will be using your tips and hopefully documenting it as my first or second project video. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@brockvivek012]

very nice bench easy to make a great idea do more vedios like this

[@i_like_to_watch_this1549]

nice job, it looks really cool.

[@essexally2212]

Ohh wow that's so awesome

[@mrbigglesworth_Official]

BOOM. Next weekend I am making this

[@N3FF]

this is my fav YT channel. the videos are so relaxed and nice to watch :)

[@luk3ro188]

Really! Its an amazing project

[@tatooldchannelarchive4367]

Somehow I have never thought of storage in a bench. I should probably try this soon.

[@foxphilo1179]

Awesome build! I can't wait to build one myself.

[@drakemarquez546]

you are the best you can do all wooden stuff

[@domingocavazos]

Great video.

[@MichaelHaskin]

This is awesome! It's so simple but looks way better than buying one of those plastic bins they sell

[@rvanbeau2009]

Yes true but as is this one is not water tight.
