Is it possible to imagine a holiday in the garden or near the house without any benches? It's not just wide chairs in the open, it's true poetry. Naturally, they can be purchased, but benches made of wood, with their own hands and on their own design made, 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 you can make benches from a tree with your own hands. It is worth noting that they are stationary and portable. You can consider the portable version, 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 edging boards. Sidewalls can be made from a board, the thickness of which is 50 millimeters, and all the others can be only 25 millimeters in thickness. In this article we are talking about a bench, the length of which is 170 centimeters. The seat height will be approximately 40 centimeters. If we talk about the overall height with the back, then it is 100 centimeters. Wooden benches are made according to different principles, in this case the connection will be used by means of grooves.
On the sidewalls the benches have grooves in the joints between them, their thickness is half the thickness of the boards, and the width is equal to the width of the boards. A kind of cross is formed, where the boards will be placed in the same plane. Naturally, you will suffer with such a connection, but such efforts will pay off with a vengeance when the bench is operated for many years, since no nail is able to give such a reliable connection as this method. To ensure additional reliability, you will need to fasten everything with furniture bolts. Benches made of wood with their own hands can have different shapes, but we propose to make a rounded version of the back, which will allow you to spend time on it with maximum comfort. The form of the backrest you can draw yourself depending on your views. After drawing the sketch, you can cut it with a jig saw. Here it is important to take into account that in shape both sides should be identical. Otherwise, park benches will be uneven. The correct way is to cut out the necessary shape of the sidewalls even before you collect the crosses, so it will be much more convenient to work, and also you can make the backs completely identical.
When the sidewalls are ready, you can install. Sidewalls are required to be fixed at a certain distance from each other, and then to fill the longitudinal boards, forming the seat and back. It is better to use screws for fixing. The design needs to be strengthened, for which the diagonal boards connecting the sidewalls are used. On the bottom of the sidewalls, you can attach planks, which will be in contact with the ground, when the bench is installed. All the impact of dampness they will take on themselves. If the cross planks start to rot, they can be replaced, which will keep the entire bench in good condition.
Now you know how to make benches from wood with your own hands. It remains to try all this in practice.
