Benches are one of the simplest pieces of furniture to construct. If you have even basic woodworking skills, you will able to put one together. If you are relatively new to woodworking, I'd start with what is called a "five-board bench." Since this is going to be outside, I'd recommend sticking to solid wood and using deck screws for construction. Screws will hold up better than nails over time, since nails can work themselves out of their holes over time. And deck screws are treated to resist rusting. Glue joints should be a water resistant glue, such as Titebond 2, or waterproof, such as Titebond 3 or polyurethane glue.
