When I was ready to start furnishing the patio space I had trouble finding furniture that was the size I wanted. I was looking for a bench that would fit perfectly against my back wall and decided that in order to find just the right size to maximize my space, I would have to build it. My DIY patio bench was so incredibly simple to build, adds so much enjoyable living space to my home, and looks amazing! One of the best parts of the building project was that I was able to make use of the leftover cut boards to build a matching chair.
You Will Need:
I gathered all of my materials and wood which I cut to fit the width of my space. I cut three 2x6x8s into six 2x6x4s. I cut three 2x4x8s into six 2x4x3s. I also cut twelve 1x4s to five foot lengths, leaving twelve 3-foot pieces that I would use for the chair. Cut with a saw or ask for these cut pieces at a home improvement store.
I joined four 2x6x4s together with four 2x4x3s with screws and a drill at approximately a 100-degree angle. You want to angle the boards slightly so that your back pieces are not straight up and down to make it more comfortable to sit on.
I stood my constructed base and back frame pieces up against the wall in the space I wanted my bench to fit. Evenly space your base pieces to fit the width of your cut boards.
I began attaching the seat boards starting at the end of my seat and worked my way back to the joint of the back and seat base frame. I used five boards for the seat surface. Evenly space the boards apart at whatever distance you prefer.
I added two 1x4s to the front face of the bench seat to the floor. This helps conceal the base frame and underneath the bench.
I started with the top board and attached it flat down on top of the four vertical frame
