Build It: A Modern Bench – Wood. It's Real.

Sometimes you see a bench that is so simple – yet so striking. That’s what we love about this modern bench build. It’s made with pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine, so it’s great for outdoor use. It will last you a long time and is a wonderful addition to a porch, deck, or other outdoor sitting areas.

There are lots of variations you could do with these plans: such as shorten the height, narrow the width by leaving off one or two of the slats, shortening the length of the bench to fit specific areas, etc. 

The length of time it takes you to build this project depends on how skilled you are. There aren’t any crazy cuts, so you only need to worry about your ability to measure twice, cut once..several dozen times.

This build is a fairly simple one. And you’ll be thrilled with the results: a super sturdy, modern bench.

Once you’ve made this project, let us know how it went. We’d love to see it and brag on you, OK?
