How to Build a Simple 2x4/1x6 Benches + Table

Here is the completed benches with a coat of Thompson's Water Seal Plus Stain.


Here is rough 3D model done in AutoCAD just to get a feel for the design. It would finish being designed on the fly.


Here is my 2x4 cut list drawn up in AutoCAD. This is for 2 benches not the table.


The back rest 2x4s were angled so they lie flush against the wall since they have a 5 degree slope.


Everything was simply screwed together with 3 inch construction screws. 2x4s for the frame and 1x6 for the seat, back and arm rest.


1.5" screws to hold the 1x6 to the 2x4 frame. All the edges were rounded over with a 1/4" round over bit.


2 benches and 1 table all spray coated with Thompson's Water Seal Plus Stain since I wanted a strong finish that was fast and easy.
