$40.00
Easy
You can easily build this cute kid's garden bench with an arbor!
When I saw the pattern for this garden bench, I knew I had to build it for my three-year old niece. Depending on the quality of wood you use, all the wood to build this bench can be purchased for under $40! Here is a basic overview of the process.

Step 1 - Build the side trellis
Step 2 - Build the bench
Step 3 - Attach the bench to the sides
Step 4 - Make the arch - simply nail a finishing nail at each end and the top of the arch. Then use something sturdy, yet bendable around the nails and trace it.
Step 5 - Build the arbor and attach it to the bench
Step 6 - Build the back of the bench
Step 7 - Attach the back of the bench. Fill any screw holes and sand.
Step 8 - Use your favorite color paint or varnish to finish it and enjoy!
