One of Life's Little Pleasures

It seems like such a simple concept. A bench.

Well, you can use a few pieces of scrap lumber, a well placed log, or cinderblocks and an old plank for a bench in your yard or garden. You want to sit for a while and enjoy nature and be semi-comfortable. You don't need to be sofa-comfortable, but you do need to enjoy where you're sitting so you can focus on your garden. If you're after that "rustic" look, then making a bench out of scraps, logs and old stuff should do just fine. If you're looking for something a little more polished and eye-catching, then consider building your own garden bench. It only takes a few basic tools and a little time. The cost is minimal.

Enjoying the Fruits of Your Labor

type=textOne of the most frustrating things is to not be able to sit and enjoy nature as it comes alive in your garden. After all, you worked very hard planting, watering, pruning and caring for the precious flowers and blooms and you would like to sit and "smell the roses". Watching the birds and other animals make a home and life in your garden is enjoyable as well.

You could always go get one of those tacky lawn chairs from the shed or garage or just sit on the ground. However, I suspect very few of us consider sitting "indian style" in front of our garden a treat and we would be thinking about how we are ever going to get up from there the whole while.

The other option would be to go to a home improvement center and purchase a garden bench. If you get a sturdy bench, it could be quite costly and would have to most likely be delivered as it would be too heavy for you to put in your vehicle. If you sacrifice cost, you usually sacrifice sturdiness, hence quality and longevity.

The solution is simple. You need to build a garden bench.

You Can Do It!

type=textYou can build your own garden bench very easily with very little help, unless you want it. If you have a formal garden and a need for something with an "air" about it, you may need to spend a little bit longer on the design and extra features. However, you are less concerned with impressing people and just want a basic bench for functionality, you could build something very classy and simple. You can produce a comfortable area for you and others to sit and enjoy your garden.
