I did 2 benches with arm rests for my firepit area. They cost 41.00 each. You won't find good outdoor furniture for that price that will last like these will.

I just completed this project and would like to suggest the following tips: 1) 1 row of the blocks that form the base of the bench should be half (4 in. wide) blocks. This will make the bench equal to standard chair height. A base with a height of 3 regular blocks won't allow the average person (especially shorter people) to be able to comfortably rest their feet on the ground. 2) The blocks that form the backrest should have the flat side meet the base, so that more surface area with adhesive can bond the backrest to the base. 3) Adhesive definitely works, provided you use the right one. I use Sika landscaping block adhesive and the bond is super strong. However, if you are still weary of safety, you can use 4" c-clamps to reinforce the joint between the backrest and bench. 4) Three 4x4s are enough for the seating (5 total). The 4th one for the seating isn't really necessary unless you plan to use cushions for the backrest (to keep the pillows from falling through). 5) Use the best side of the lumber for the surfaces of the bench. Sides with splinters will slowly tear up your cushions.
@@joelthomas4294 I know I was thinking the same thing. If a standard 4×4 is 8 feet I would prefer to do a smaller one. I'd make 2 smaller chairs instead of one larger one
I was staying at a Air BnB in Amarillo Tex couple years ago. They had the same design set up bit they had painted the cinder blocks orange & black and the ends of the wood did not stick out of the ends, it was beautiful....
I just complete this project and used construction adhesive. It looks great in the space I have been wanting to do something with for the longest time.
I am going to build this, but I'm going to make it a little narrower or used longer four by fours and push them through so they make table on either end. 😁
I had some 4x4's and brick laying around so I built this and it holds up just fine despite those that think it's unsafe. I weigh 280 lb and purposely leaned all my weight on the back and it held just fine. So many haters!
I love the video and step by step instructions. I got all the materials and I'm super excited about putting it together. Thank you for sharing your idea.
I love this idea. For me, with my short legs, I think it would need to be one block lower, but apart from that - awesome looking fun bench. Thanks for sharing.
I think a shorter bench would be appropriate, or add a center. Everything is about balance, things last longer, it will not brake , but with time the weight on it plus weather will make an impact on durability. Thank you for showing folks beautiful and great things do not have to cost a fortune!!! Be well, be safe, best regards!!
I was SO about to make this. I love this idea! Cheap cool and comfy! However, I realize this would be a pain during hurricane season to remove off the patio :(
Hi. I have a beautiful old metal headboard with the bottom poles sticking out, and thought i could put those through the blocks. If i built up the back with blocks i think it would stabilize the back. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
The blue looks more like liquid nails to me...you can stick anything together and it's not coming off..there's also construction adhesive..also very strong..i'm going to build this..it's lovely

How long was the 4x4’s
Thanks for sharing 🤩
@@joelthomas4294 looks like 8ft to me.

Hi! I'm just reading your post. Do you have any pictures? (6 years later, LOL)
You have no idea how helpful this is for me
You make this look SUPER easy. Finding the cushions would be the hardest part
Any local foam shop should easily make you custom sized cushions.

Did it work out for you?... the table at the end sound amazing
@@letstalksuccess580 LOL, not yet. Been busy working on a shed and a bunch of other things. When I do I will build three go around my big fire pit 😁
Yes and make a video please 😊
WOW,this is SIMPLE and BEAUTIFUL,thank you very much sir!❤

Really that's crazy I was wondering that I'm glad you spoke up I was trying to figure a way to anchor it better thanks
Thanks.
Even Ikea Funiture Holds Up If Not Used For A Jungle Gym & Rock wall 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
So many haters, absolutely!!! Be nice folks!!!
Thanks for your coment,I was wondering if they can hold my weight..lol

Just bought the material! Super excited to make it
This actually looks really good adding to the to do list! 😍
I just bought the material, it cost me about $140! Not bad whatsoever

Best for the Garden I plan on making just that and a 6 foot length
It looks great, I’m forwarding this video to my husband. Hopefully he can create it 🤗
This is genius! I need to build a few of these! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
That’s one of the coolest things I have ever seen thanks for sharing
definitely a family summer project!!!
Tried this one...lasted for a while. Really good idea
This is our project for the day! Thank you!
my dad built something like this a few years back. still super aturdy and works very well
Thanks for the Info: I can even make this myself and it looks GREAT!
Tried this.. it's beautiful didn't go as high sits lower now trying to find some cusion to fit !
I can't wait to do this.
We are definitely going to do 2 for the front yard under our tree.

Muy bueno y muy simple d hacer!! Muchas gracias, saludos desde Argentina.
FLIPANTE, MUCHA IMAGINACION Y MUY SENCILLO Y PRÁCTICO, BESIS DESDE ESPAÑA👍👍👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Great idea.....I think i'll use mortar instead of adhesive, lay the blocks as you would normally as building a wall, so half blocks needed
Thanks for the idea, I thought I would have to pay someone to make a bench but I don't anymore:) and I already have the blocks
Beautiful. I'm building one as we speak. Love it
Adding one to my yard today. Nice work
Thank u for this wonderful video. I am going to try this dyi in the morning
I’m doin this tomorrow..might make a vid and post it to you tube
I love this idea, now how do you keep the beams from shifting horizontally ? Any ideas ?
I can't wait to do this 😍
Amazing idea! Thank you so much for sharing this. This is easy enough for someone little like me to do. Mahalo🌈💕🌍
OMG, this is so creative and fun!!!
Wow it look nice.. easy and simple.. love it so much
I love thoes benches they are cheap and easy to make.
This is so awesome!! I'm making a backyard set!!
Суперидея! Спасибо! Всё ясно без перевода. Здоровья и успехов!
Just made one with the verticle back and used a waterproof goop located at my local ACE. It is solid as a rock.

You don’t have to remove it 🤷🏽♀️
Being creative ✨️
This is really really cool
I added one of these benches to a park nearby that only had 1 bench to sit on. I hope it'll last before anyone tries to remove it.
Exactly what I needed.
Should we also glue the wood 4 by 4 in cinder block as well? What for the leaning, they are not 4 by 4 and something thinner and lighter?
This looks cool
Ive been wanting a new bench forr my Mama's graveside.
Im just too slow to remember what I need
I’m gonna make it ❤️
THIS IS SO GENIUS!!!!
It's the furniture I want. I like wooden furniture.👍
It would be nice if you told us how long those 4 x4 are. And what is the distance between the end pieces
Definitely agree🤔
@@heGifted Buying guide says 4*4*8 - Eight feet long

Great idea

It looks like its heavy. How would you move it, to rearrange furniture? Or to clean behind it?
boards just slide out. Pretty simple one board at a time. :)
Amazing. My side of the garden is 9 meters. Could I use 4x4 on this
WTF😱 genius!!!!im doing this shit 2morrow

Love it.
Nice brother

does the back that you lean on strong? or do you need to be carful when leaning back?
