Craftsman Style Redwood Built-in Deck Benches

Your benches are great! I love the craftsman style. I also really like your paint combo on the house and garage would you happen to know what the colors are? The reason I ask is that we are going to repaint our prairie style house this fall and that’s just about what I had in mind. Hope my question isn’t too off topic here.

Giz, this looks really good. The deck and bench add a great deal of curb appeal to your home. You built a nicely designed bench that looks so invitingly comfortable.

Nice job.

Giz, those are feaking awesome! Absolutely going to steal your design, thanks.

Nice design. I love the idea of the posts bolted to the joists. I’ve been looking for an idea for benches on my own deck. I may have to steal your idea and incorporate it into my own backyard.

great job on the bench and all aspects of your backyard living space John. How did the home tour go? I think I must have missed that update.

I always get a kick out of your posts, gizmodyne. Keep up the great work!

Sweet, I’m ripping this one off for my own deck. Whenever I get to it….

Nicely done, perfect for the Craftsman vernacular.

always,
