Bench-transformer: not only convenient, but also beautiful

Each owner dreams of creating a beautiful garden near his house. At the same time, I want everything to be perfect in it. At first glance it seems that for this it is necessary to exert a huge amount of effort and spend a whole lot of money. But in practice, everything is somewhat different. So, for example, a bench-transformer, whose drawings can be made even with their own hands, will decorate any garden. In addition, this is a convenient solution, if you plan on frequent gatherings with friends.

What materials can be used to make a bench?

The peculiarity of this device is that it can be used as a bench or, if necessary, as a countertop with two benches. In addition, you can buy a ready-made model in the store or make it yourself. Usually, in order to create a quality bench-transformer, wooden materials are used. Moreover, natural wood, plywood or PVC can be taken. Of course, the first option will be more expensive, but the device will not be used for 2-3 years, but for 20-30 years. It is advisable to cover the bench with antifungal solution before use, and also to varnish. This will be an excellent prevention of rot.

Buying tools for work

Before you start creating a bench, you need to make sure all the tools are available. So, in order for the bench-transformer to turn out to be of high quality and lasted for several decades, it is recommended to purchase such tools and materials:

• Cant.
• The material from which the device will be made. It is necessary to take the already cut off part.
• Hacksaw or electric jig saw.
• Roulette.
• A fine skin.
• Bolts and nuts.
• Drill.

Drawing Drawings

In order for the bench-transformer to be properly made by oneself, it is better to make the drawings yourself. It is very important that the image of the final product is not lost. When drawing up a drawing, it is recommended to pay attention to 3 factors:

• The dimensions of the construction must correspond to the area where the bench-transformer will be subsequently installed.
• It must be taken into account that the device must have a movable mechanism, which will not be so easy to create.
• First, it is necessary to calculate the dimensions of the fixed parts, which in the future will be fastened together.

Course of work: the main part

First of all, it is necessary to make the parts, which in future will be used as legs for the structure. For this purpose, it is necessary to cut 8 identical segments, the length of which is 70-75 cm. It is desirable to make cuts at an angle of 10 degrees on both sides. This is necessary to balance the installation on a slope.

Next you need to make frames for two shops. They are made of edging boards. To do this, cut 4 segments with a length of 40 cm and 4 parts with a size of 1.70 m. In the frame, several reinforcing elements should be made. Actually, here you will need a bar. He is beaten at a distance of half a meter from each other. So the bench-transformer will be protected from lateral deformation. The legs should be fastened to the seat with 2 to 3 bolts, so that they hold securely. From a bar it is necessary to make a rectangle which on the size precisely coincides with length of shops. On the inside, it is attached with additional stiffeners. This will be the back (or countertop).

Now it remains only to connect the resulting elements into one common construction. This is not easy to do, since you will have to work with large details. Therefore, it is recommended that you do the work yourself and not with your assistant. It is necessary to cut 2 bars length of half a meter. They need to be placed between the bench and the shield. After fixing them, you need to cut 2 more bars. Now their size should be 110 cm. They are attached to the other bench in the center to make it easier to dock both elements. Thus, a bench-transformer will be made by oneself, the drawings of which can be seen in the article.

Finishing stage: exterior finish

Interestingly, such a device can be placed in the room. Hence it follows that it can be covered in two ways: a waterproof paint is recommended for the garden, and a stain or varnish for the house. And if the second one can also be finished with water-resistant paints, then the first one can not be painted with varnish and stain. Many people want to have something unusual in their garden, for example, a bench-transformer. With their own hands to make such a device will not be difficult. Moreover, there is a great variety of its shapes and sizes. The main thing is to paint it at the end with a suitable remedy. If this is not done, the tree will begin to rot because of the effects of moisture. It is best to paint once every 1-2 years, so that the bench is completely protected from bacteria. If desired, you can trim a bench with wild stone, clay and other materials.
