Deck Benches

Our deck benches were built in the spring of 2020. We finally decided it was time to add some outdoor furniture to our deck. Our chairs that go with the table aren’t the type that can stand being outside all the time.

I just wanted something simple and sturdy, so settled for using pressure-treated 2×12’s with a 2×4 for the cross-piece. Making a pair of these was a quick afternoon project and very inexpensive. Ultimately these will be painted a flat black to match the cast-iron table, but for now, they’re doing fine just as they are.

Our materials for this project were two 2 x 12’s and one 2 x 4, all eight feet long. Total cost was lass than $50.
