Has anyone built a foldable work bench for their garage?

[Neo19]

Hello friendly workshopers,

I have been looking for ideas to build a compact and neat workbench in the garage that is already crammed with things. Google search brings up pictures of few foldable ones.

Some of the online tutorials use piano hinges attached to MDF / wooden slabs, and have one or two legs attached to the board on a hinge as well.

Wondering if anyone has built a foldable work bench in their garage and could share pictures if any.

I’ve have come across this picture on a google search and looks great! Wondering if anyone could reverse engineer this pic and suggest how something similar could be built?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @nthart. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about bench costs.

Was there a particular bench you were interested in? We have a number of timber panels that could be used to construct your own bench, similar to the Specrite 2400 x 900 x 33mm Timber Multi-Use Pine Panel.

If you were looking to build your own bench then our members would be more than happy to provide advice. Check out our Top ten most popular workbench projects for inspiration.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Wow.

That Specrite sheet I covered my outdoor bench with, seen on the previous page, is still going strong after nearly 4 years of environmental exposure. 

Great product! 👍
