This is a garden bench that was built for a lady I work with. She had seen the design before and after searching I was able to get the plans and build this for her. Its relatively simple, using only stud grade 2×4’s and some white pine pieces. I finished it with some light oak colored outdoor finish.

How did you get the 2×4 chair back side to angle like that? I’ve probably seen lumber that bent at the big box stores, but I was thinking a cut-down 2×8 or something. I might have to find the plans for that, although just be looking at it I have a good idea of how to build it.

Really sweet outdoor project. You will have to make one of these for yourself, that was too good to let go!

That would be ideal for the wife and me – only with the middle bit a little higher. Nice job that looks as though it wil give many years of service.

Greg, your right on the back leg supports. They are cut out on a bandsaw from a 2×8. The 2×8 are also used for the ends of the armrest to give it the curves.

steve try the angled bench no real problems just look at it as 2 single chairs joined with an angled table,
could also be turned towards each other!
good luck and let me know how you get on.
