A sturdy wooden garden bench seat built using Sienna Micro Pro Pine sleepers.
The project
I built an outdoor bench seat using Sienna Micro Pro sleepers for the build.
Thanks for the advice on what to finish my garden bench seat with so it wouldn’t rot.
I purchased all my products for the entire job from Bunnings. If anyone is interested in making one themselves, the YouTube video below gives very detailed instructions.
In addition to showing you which tools you'll need, it gives detailed measurements. The measurements are imperial, so you will need to convert to metric. Also, please be aware that when the guy in the video talks about the second 30 degree cut in the longer leg, he says 30 inches from the first 30 degree cut. It’s actually 38 inches.
