DIY Rustic Garden Bench for Around $4
Wouldn't you just love this rustic garden bench in your garden? I have seen many DIYs on making garden benches and since I love working with fence pickets, I decided to give it a try. I built 3 of them until I found the best design that hid all the screws. Hubby is a big help too because sometimes you just need to bounce ideas off someone else.
You can use the green treated fence pickets that come in 6' lengths at Home Depot or you can step it up a notch and use the cedar pickets. I have to warn you that using cedar is really awesome because it smells so darn good. However, you will have to use 1" brass screws because the cedar is thinner and the tips of the screws will show.
If you want the full directions, hop on over to my blog for pictures and directions. Thank you for stopping.
