A bench is a piece of furniture that is timeless! Only the shape and materials change, incredible designs appear, which at once can not be taken for the furniture on which they sit. Without it you can not do without anywhere: on the garden, in the garden at the dacha, before the entrance of the apartment building, on the playground. A shop is always needed. Benches are simple - without back, and complex - with support for the back.
Make traditional shops with their own handsfrom a tree, and as them to finish - here it is possible to think up anything. You can paint in a bright color, apply a picture or make decoupage with napkins and varnish, trim with carved or forged details, there are many options. Shops can be combined, stone or plastic. Combined benches are made with metal or stone legs and a wooden seat and a backrest. For the construction of stone benches, cement, bricks or stones are used, and plastic benches are made of solid, using special shapes. Now it is very popular to make garden furniture from untreated spruce trees. Of them, it is quite possible to make shops with their own hands, but, despite the simplicity of such designs, there is no way to do without a chainsaw.
Wood is the best choice for creating garden furniture. It is warm, unlike a stone, and natural - unlike plastic. To make a bench made of wood by your own hands, there is absolutely no need to have a large amount of materials or some special tools and skills. It is enough to have a hammer, a saw and be able to use them, and if there is a jigsaw, then you can make a more refined design. Still need nails or screws, who likes that more, and you can use the remains of boards or buy new, already processed and smooth. Even if you buy new materials, the shop itself will be much cheaper than taking the finished product in the store.
To begin with, form. Simple carpets can be made by any novice carpenter. The length of the bench is made at the rate of 40-45 cm per person, the width of the seat is at your discretion, but it is more comfortable to sit on a wide bench, the height of the legs is about 50 cm. How to make a shop with your own hands for a dacha from improvised materials? Very simple. Perhaps you have after the repair left scraps of wooden bars, which can be processed, dyed and varnished - that's the legs there. And for the seat use one wide board length of 1,20-1,60 m. Or connect several narrow dowels or a suitable board from the wrong side. The finished product must be primed with several layers of special compounds, so that the wood does not spoil, and then paint. It is better to use special shade varnishes or stain with varnish, apply layers 5-6 with intermediate drying.
Complex shops with their own hands - it's not forbeginners. Here the correct calculation and skill of working with a tree is important. But, if you really want an unusual bench with a back, make it from pallets! Wooden pallets are a material that can be applied with success for the manufacture of non-traditional furniture for home and dacha with their own hands.
