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.
Gud Girl Dawn. Well done. Respect. They Comfy?
Are they stable

Dawn how did you do that?
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.
How long was the 4x4’s
Thanks for sharing 🤩
@@joelthomas4294 looks like 8ft to me.
@@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
Hi! I'm just reading your post. Do you have any pictures? (6 years later, LOL)
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. 😁
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 😊
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....
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.
You have no idea how helpful this is for me
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!
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
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.
WOW,this is SIMPLE and BEAUTIFUL,thank you very much sir!❤
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.
Best for the Garden I plan on making just that and a 6 foot length
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
It looks great, I’m forwarding this video to my husband. Hopefully he can create it 🤗
my dad built something like this a few years back. still super aturdy and works very well
This actually looks really good adding to the to do list! 😍
I just bought the material, it cost me about $140! Not bad whatsoever
Tried this.. it's beautiful didn't go as high sits lower now trying to find some cusion to fit !
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.
Just bought the material! Super excited to make it
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!!
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
I’m doin this tomorrow..might make a vid and post it to you tube
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 :(
You don’t have to remove it 🤷🏽♀️
FLIPANTE, MUCHA IMAGINACION Y MUY SENCILLO Y PRÁCTICO, BESIS DESDE ESPAÑA👍👍👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Muy bueno y muy simple d hacer!! Muchas gracias, saludos desde Argentina.
Tried this one...lasted for a while. Really good idea
That’s one of the coolest things I have ever seen thanks for sharing
This looks cool
Ive been wanting a new bench forr my Mama's graveside.
Im just too slow to remember what I need
Thanks for the Info: I can even make this myself and it looks GREAT!
This is genius! I need to build a few of these! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
definitely a family summer project!!!
Looking good Adam
Thank u for this wonderful video. I am going to try this dyi in the morning
I love this idea, now how do you keep the beams from shifting horizontally ? Any ideas ?
I can't wait to do this.
We are definitely going to do 2 for the front yard under our tree.
This is our project for the day! Thank you!
I love thoes benches they are cheap and easy to make.
Amazing idea! Thank you so much for sharing this. This is easy enough for someone little like me to do. Mahalo🌈💕🌍
Wow it look nice.. easy and simple.. love it so much
Just made one with the verticle back and used a waterproof goop located at my local ACE. It is solid as a rock.

Beautiful. I'm building one as we speak. Love it
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
thanks for sharing this highly appreciated some people are ungrateful fools
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
I’m gonna make it ❤️
I can't wait to do this 😍
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?
I really like that, am going to do me one or more.
Adding one to my yard today. Nice work
I like it.
It's the furniture I want. I like wooden furniture.👍
This is so awesome!! I'm making a backyard set!!
Суперидея! Спасибо! Всё ясно без перевода. Здоровья и успехов!
Exactly what I needed.
OMG, this is so creative and fun!!!
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.
Easy n nice looking
Being creative ✨️
This is really really cool
WTF😱 genius!!!!im doing this shit 2morrow
Drogi temat zwłaszcza te kantówki
Thanks I'm building today .
Very good. Excelent idea. Thank you.
Beautiful
It can probably be made without the back, like a lounger bed.
Very nice idea thanks 👍🏻
great idea, easy any one can do. thanks
I would use cement to bond those bricks. instead of that glue..

WOW…love it...
Wow me encanto, Gracias
Verry good
Love it.
Nice Project, Some comments are really nasty, if you going to insult people, don't WATCH IT,
jenny valdez if its crap, he needs to know
Chase Miller 😂😂🤣🤣
jenny valdez. Really!!
jenny valdez Dont show up on our feeds every freakin day...lol. They do make a point about the unsturdy back part. Screw it, bolt it down and u got a winner.
That's excellent!!!
Great 💡 ideas
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. :)
How do you stop the wood from moving or from sliding out of the holes?
I would use 4 pieces of all thread to hold it all together. 2 holding the bench seat together and 2 holding the back secure to the bench.
good idea was thinking the same thing
I like the look
天才！
すごい！！
Belair Direct Insurance sponsored? That would be appropriate considering that whom ever falls off backwards is going to need it because of an unsafe build. Personally, I would reinforce the vertical bricks by adding L brackets and a couple of bolts within the squares, but only if the bench is built as a stand-alone and not propped up against a wall. Other than safety, this is a quick and easy idea.
