Project Information
Hi,
I'm getting some sag in the bench, the top is made of Curly Cherry and is 5/4, 60" long and 16" wide. The legs are 6/4,15" and 16" wide. I have two 1"x 2" rails connecting the legs, the are placed on a side, so the 2" side is vertical. All joints are Mortise and Tenon.
With a weight load of 200lb, the sags 1/8", I have used The Sagulator after constructing the unit and receiving dishearten information.
So, can I fix this problem?
Or will building a new top that 1.75 thick and will meet acceptable requirements be my only option.
Thanks
