Benches for dacha own hands

At any dacha there should be benches where you can enjoy good weather or rest after work on the bed. In just a few hours you can make it yourself.

Bench with your own hands made of wood for summer residence

Wood is one of the leaders when it comes to making shops, but the supports can be very different. Forged elements are expensive, so you can use the welding of pipes square or round.

Cast iron support you just can not make from improvised means and at home. Supports of concrete look massive, usually boring, however, if you show imagination, you can beat the product. A natural stone , granite, for example, is expensive, and is there any sense in putting such an expensive shop in the garden. Aluminum base is not rusty and plastic for creating intricate shapes, however, this is also not quite a "home" option. Wood is an ideal option for those who want to do everything themselves.

You can not start building anything without a drawing. Apply the shape and dimensions of the product to the sheet. The optimal seat height is 0.4-0.5 m, the seat itself should be 0.5-0.55 m. The backrest slope can vary, the desired height is 0.35-0.5 m. The bench can be portable, otherwise The legs are planted in the ground: dig small pits and fill them with cement.

Benches can be very different, ranging from the most primitive, ending with unusual models.

The original benches for giving your own hands are usually harder to make, everything is in your hands.

The simplest bench can be made according to this sketch:

Due to thicker beams for supports, bars and boards for the backrest and seat you get:

To the number of classical models we will refer this product. Vertical bars are easily replaced by elements that are located crosswise. Armrests and a horizontal crossbar can be enriched with ornaments and carvings.

More time will be spent on benches connected to the table. All major components are made separately, then collected. Choose the dimensions convenient for you. It looks like this:

Remember that any wooden product should be treated with impregnations. The tree is very susceptible to atmospheric fluctuations.

How to make a bench with your own hands for giving: from theory to practice

We begin work on the bench:

1. You will need a non-planed board. Decide on the dimensions of the future product. Preliminarily remove all notches electrorub. The height of the rear legs is 87 cm, taking into account the back.
2. On one of the two blanks we draw a figured leg, we draw a back on the ruler. On the contour, we cut the part with an electric jigsaw.
3. To get exactly the same second element, attach the finished product to the board and circle it with a pencil, cut out with a jig saw.
4. The length of the front legs is 43 cm, we circle the already prepared figured part on two boards in 43 cm.
5. To firmly connect all the prepared components, make grooves with the help of a notch by a hacksaw. The naves are removed by the chisel.
6. We join the workpieces in one piece with galvanized self-tapping screws, so that they do not rust.
7. It was the turn to connect the frame with the cross bar with the same screws.
8. We fix 4 boards (seat and back).
9. It remains to cover the product with varnish and a simple, but comfortable bench for dacha is completely ready.
