Nothing is as relaxing as lounging in the shade with your favourite book and a cool drink. If you are looking to add a bench to your backyard, the good news is that you don’t have to purchase one that’s not exactly what you want. All you need are some power tools and timber in order to make one on your own.
Choose the Location
To start off, you need to decide where to put the backyard bench. The most important aspect in this regard is to place it under a shady spot. This way you’ll be able to enjoy your bench in both summer and winter.
Draw Up a Plan
Once you have chosen the perfect spot for your bench, take measurements and then hit the drawing board. Planning is the most essential step in this project, because you don’t want to waste your time or your resources. A well-thought-out plan will make the process easy and manageable. If you’re not great with conceptualising a plan on paper, you can always find plans on the internet.
Keep It Simple
Unless you have experience in building wooden objects, keep things simple when building a bench. The easiest design to make would be a simple wooden bench with four legs and a contoured or straight back.
