awn Bench
This versatile lawn bench can serve a multitude of purposes. We’ve used it as a bench for
seating, as an outdoor coffee table, and even to hold a collection of plants. It’s easy to make,
and very sturdy when completed.

Constructing the Bench Top
1. Cut two long tops (A) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 53” long.
2. Cut two short tops (B) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 14” long.
3. Place the two short tops (B) between the ends of the long tops (A), as shown in Figure 1 .
Screw through the longs tops (A) into the ends of the short tops (B), using two 1-5/8”-long
screws on each joint.
Figure 1
Adding the Legs
1. Cut four legs (C) from 2 x 2 pine, each measuring 16-1/4” long.

2. Attach each of the four legs to the four inner corners of the top assembly, ¾” from the top
edges of the long and short tops (A and B), as shown in Figure 2 . Screw through the long
and short tops (A and B) into the legs (C), using two 1-5/8”-long screws in each side of the
legs (C).
Figure 2
Adding the Inner Supports
1. Cut two long inner supports (D) from 1 x 2 pine, each measuring 48-1/2” long.
2. Attach one long inner support (D) to the inside of the one long top (A), as shown in Figure
3 . It should be positioned flush with the top of the leg (C), ¾” from the top edge of the long
top (A). Screw through the long inner support (D) into the long top (A), using 1-1/4” long
screws, approximately every 6”.
3. Repeat the previous two steps to attach the remaining long inner support (D) to the inside of
the opposite long top (A).
Adding the Slats
1. Cut 14 slats (E) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 14” long.
2. Place the 14 slats (E) over the assembled inner supports, as shown in Figure 4. Space them
evenly between the short tops (B), leaving a small space between slats. The exact
measurement is not critical—just make certain that all the spaces are equal and that the slats
are all straight. Nail through the ends of each of the slats into the long inner supports (D)
and the legs (C), using two 1-1/4”-long nails on each end.

Adding the Leg Supports
1. Cut two leg braces (F) from 2 x 2 pine, each measuring 11” long.
2. Attach a leg brace (F) between two of the legs (C), 8 inches from the bottom, as shown in
Figure 4. Screw through the legs (C) into the ends of the leg braces (F), using two 2-1/2”-
long screws on each joint.
3. Repeat Step 2 to attach the other leg brace (F) between the opposite legs (C).
Adding the Lower Support
1. Cut two lower supports (G) from 1 x 2 pine, each measuring 48-1/2” long.
2. Cut three spacers (H) from 1 x 2 pine, each measuring 2-1/4” long.
3. Place the two lower supports (G) on a level surface, parallel to each other, and 2-1/2” apart.
Fit the three spacers (H) evenly between the two lower supports, just over 11-1/2” apart, as
shown in Figure 5 .
4. Nail through the two lower supports (G) into the ends of the spacers (H). Use two 1-1/2”-
long nails on each joint.
5. Fit the assembled lower support between the two leg braces (F), centering it on the braces.
Screw through the leg braces (F) into the ends of the two lower supports (G). Use two 2-
1/2”-long screws on each joint.

Finishing the Bench
1. Fill any cracks, crevices, or screw holes with wood filler and thoroughly sand all surfaces
of the lawn bench.
2. Seal and paint, or stain the completed bench the color of your choice. We left our project
the natural color of the pressure-treated pine.
