Benches
Easy DIY instructions to make a wooden bench.
Materials for these benches are mainly wood from pallets and repurposed scaffolding planks.
Pallets and old planks are two materials which are available at a very low price.
In the case of pallets and recycled wood your building material will be mostly free.
On the other side there are the tubes from scaffolds.
Scaffolding tubes are not expensive, but the tube connectors can raise the bill quite a bit.
It is surprising how easy it is to make strong benches from tubes.
You can connect the scaffolding tubes with a large variety of widely available clamps.
A combination of thick tubes with planks makes these constructions more sturdy then any other garden furniture.
Probably most of these DIY benches will be used outside as garden furniture.
Nevertheless you will see that a lot of this furniture is equally suitable for inside the house.
At the moment we are still translating most of the instructions.
Untill these building plans are all translated we suggest that you have a look at the original building plans for benches.
