Picnic table, coffee (or beer) table and 4 Leopold benches (slightly modified).

Well the backyard is starting to look a little more inviting after building these. The picnic table has a trestle base made from spruce 4×4 that I rescued from work.

Everything else is made of pressure treated 2×6.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Leopold bench design, google it. There are several simple and free plans online. The design can be easily modified to fit your needs and the materials you have handy.

Next week, i will be making two Leopold armchairs for the ends of the picnic table.
