The BEST Mudroom Bench You Can Build!

[@brandonnguyen7266]

For me, the ideas in kzbin.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

[@MarkWeber-n6p]

I like it, Anna! Very simple yet very nice looking.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you! 😊

[@Slowanlow69933]

Thanks for going through the actual materials used for the project since, for me, getting started is the hardest part-knowing what to buy. The building is the easy part for me.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jenm0117]

I love the clean lines and efficient use of space on the bench system! Thank you for your inspiration .

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for watching, I am very happy with how it turned out!

[@SouthernMama2five]

I have been looking for plans for a bench in this style! What perfect timing. Thank so much for sharing. I appreciate how clearly you explain the construction. 😊

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mieleous]

This has really inspired me for my hallway, it could literally be paired with a matching wood shelf and some hooks and you’ve got a beautiful entryway

[@kimhurst5688]

You have spurred me on to make most of the furniture in my home. Being able to make furniture to the exact specifications to fit has made it even more fun. Even a girl can do this. Thanks for showing us how. I look forward to your videos EVERY WEEK!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Wonderful, I'm happy to help!

GREAT start to 2021....... Nice way to spruce up the garage. Be safe, Chris from Missouri

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Happy new year, thanks Chris!

[@robb4751]

Nice and easy build. Good price point. This is what I love about your projects and that's the fact that they are for all levels of skill rather you're a beginner or an expert.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you very much!

[@GettingCraftyDIY]

wish I had a garage 😕 to put that beauty in. I have thought of making a much smaller version of that for my front porch. I have some old metal milk crates that I'd like to use underneath for clutter storage. thanks for the ideas your builds are always the best!

[@MarthaGonzalezVEVO]

You are crazy talented and I admire your passion and work ethic!! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you so much!

What a great, functional bench! I am planning on building this project this Spring when we have de-cluttered the garage. Love it! Thanks for all the great inspiration!

Fantastic Julia, I am happy to hear that!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That is a pretty slick set up. Looks very adjustable to the size needed.

[@moxiecooper]

Nice work. Is there an overhang (1/2 inch?) from the top boards over the bench on sides and front?

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

"...might encourage users to put their shoes away..." Oh man, we have the same users. Thanks Ana! :)

[@roggie77777]

It will be in her Merch store on a t-shirt, LOL. All The Best

[@SimplifyFitness]

I love how yours looks - perhaps I missed - what size boards did you use for your face frame?..... 1"x2" ?? Thank you!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Yes 1x2 for face frame, thanks for the visit!

[@kelseydunn6610]

Thanks for this plan! How did you secure the bench to the wall? Also- is the hutch part only anchored to the wall? Or did you attach to the bench part somehow?

[@dufuss5158]

How did your pocket holes on the 1x3’s not interfere with each other when putting in the 1 and 1/4 inch screws? I used 1x3’s and my screws definitely ran into each other and prevented them from fully securing to the plywood. First project I’ve attempted and I actually put it together pretty quick thanks to you! Next time I would definitely offset the pocket holes a little bit cause that’s the part that really slowed me down

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Yes, pocket holes will need to be offset, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear! We'd love to see your completed project:)

[@dufuss5158]

@@AnaWhiteDIY Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I remember hearing you say that in the "hutch" video...just not while I was in the middle of drilling pocket holes :D. It's also painfully obvious that is what is needed but, I will never repeat that mistake again! Thank you again for the awesome tutorials. I'll have to send in a pic when it is all done.

[@roggie77777]

Anyway I can get the paint color you use on the base. TY All The best

[@michaelreich2312]

Can I use plywood for the back of the bench instead of the two 1x3? Would it make it less stable?

[@Eljavys88]

Excellent

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you so much 😀

[@fcp4423]

Did you extend the bench top past the frame, in both depth and length? It looks like it hangs over.

[@caitiemaesings]

What kind of paint do you use? Do you seal the top with poly?

[@1ilovecrazy]

Where do I find the material list? Sorry if that’s a dumb question I can’t seem to find it 🙈

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

This is a bit different than a plan, we used Shelf Help so you can customize for any size. I walk you through it here shelfhelpnow.com/blogs/templates/open-bottom-mudroom-bench

[@2-old-Forthischet]

Wow, you have a blank wall?

[@jofranco6410]

What is the dimension of the wood for the base frame?

[@scottmorris4914]

On Shelf Help, it talks about using the tools to help with design, and provide measurements. Can the base be designed on Shelf Help, and the the panels be ordered through Shelf Help? It doesn’t come with toe kick cuts, does it? And will the cross pieces come with it?

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Shelf help cuts the 3/4" purebond plywood to your desired measurements with the front edge banded. The "bay supports" and or toe kicks are not included, just the plywood panels.

[@scottmorris4914]

@@AnaWhiteDIY Thank you. My son who is a beginner at this, has been tasked by his wife to basically build your last project you built in your garage, for their laundry room. A bench with storage underneath and shelves above. Being able to order the panels precut will greatly help as he does not have a tablesaw.

[@troutsage]

Followed this to a T and it turned out beautifully! Thank you so much! Quick question, do you attach it to the wall somehow? If so, screws or finishing nails?

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

We'd love to see a photo! Check out step 2 shelfhelpnow.com/blogs/templates/mudroom-hutch-matches-open-bottom-mudroom-bench Screw right through the bay supports into your wall studs.

[@middlemanish]

Hi! I think I am going to attempt to make this. And have zero experience with this stuff. Haha. I am trying to figure out what type of plywood you would use for the bench legs. I seen that you use purebond plywood brand, but what type of wood. Would poplar wood work?

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Fun! It's Purebond Maple 3/4" Ply. Check out the Shelf Help website shelfhelpnow.com/

[@middlemanish]

@@AnaWhiteDIY Thanks for confirming. Yes! I've been tinkering with that. I haven't decided as to whether I will order precut boards or gamble and attempt to cut off from plywood sheets myself. I'm just having fun in learning about this stuff. Your content is great by the way.

[@smiller7334]

What depth did you use on the plywood pieces?

Thank you!

[@franciskovscek5881]

When you pocket holed the top, did you glue the board as well?

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

You can but the pocket holes are pretty good so it’s not necessary. Glue also can seep put and be hard to stain over so I don’t prefer too

[@franciskovscek5881]

@@AnaWhiteDIY thank you answering.

Is your garage heated? We live in Wisconsin and we badly need something like this but I'm afraid our winter gear won't dry and we'll be putting frozen stuff on in the cold. haha

Ana what cordless nail gun do you use? I have one I use with a compressor but really want cordless. What model and gauge do you use? Thanks in advance, building several items you have shown!

[@marcelo403polo2]

she is using Ryobi. I guess because ryobi sponsors her. It wouldn't be my choice, but for DIY probably is good enough

Is just a name for an entrance where you leave your dirty boots and such.

How does it cost $130, but shelf help is only charging $57? The shipping alone is probably over $50.

Shelf help is all free shipping, but only the plywood pieces. The 1x boards are locally sourced and will cost about $70
