Cement Block Bench and Bench Cushions
Inexpensive, strong and utilitarian is the use of cinder blocks,along with rounded pressure treated wood put in each Slot. Then put 3 deep, in regard to sets of concrete and wood so you create Comfort to your guests, width wise. This will allow for comfortable seat depth and couch seating, as well as... reinforcing the strength and sturdiness of the seating. You can also paint your cinder blocks one solid color vs keeping them in their original concrete looking state. As far as the comfort of the seating, you can leave just the wood to be sat on or you can buy or make cushions.... To place on top of your wood comma to provide additional cushion to sit on, for comfort of your guests. This would be a great start, as well as, it is easily moved to another location,at a moments notice. You may find that this is perfectly suitable for the long haul, or you may realize you want something more permanent. Either way, it gives you an idea of what you do or don't want and allows plentiful, inexpensive seating,in the meantime...without emptying your wallet.
