Build A Bench With This 3 Step Tutorial.
I am so excited to share with you all the details of this gorgeous bench and it could not be easier to create. Let’s build a bench, shall we.
- 1 ft. x 10 ft. Plank
- Hairpin legs
- Stain (optional)
- Floor Protectors
STEP 1:
Purchase the plank of your choice and distress or stain it in the color of your choice. I purchased a plank for a project a few years ago and that project never came to pass. The plank unfortunately laid in the dirt for a couple of years or maybe it was fortunate because the patina from those years gave the plank a beautiful patina.
Purchase hairpin legs for your plank. I used these hairpin legs for my bench. After a lot of research I chose these particular legs because they are incredibly sturdy. Many hairpin legs are made from hollow tube and I just didn’t want to take the chance of the bench collapsing. For the length of the bench I went with 6 legs for extra stability.
Attach the legs to the plank and VOILA! You have a bench!
So easy, right?!? What are you waiting for?
Till Later,
Joy
