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.
Great advice.. Thank you! I do agree with the height issue.. It's a little high, but it does the job. The glue I used was great as well. Extremely strong. Thanks for sharing!
HM L Thank you!!!
HM L. Hi can you please share us you project to see how it look ! Thank you
Very helpful, appreciate these great tips very much, thanks!
You wouldn't have splinters if u followed his directions and sanded the wood !
Used cinder bricks for all kinds of furniture back in the day longer than dirt ago. But it’s fun, cheep And someone always had them to give away or buy at store. Miss some of those days.
Great job I love the final scene, relaxing after a hard day of work, too funny. I’m sure your family was pleased.
AWESOME JOB, I can’t wait to try this!
Love it, fast sturdy, economical, and cute. Who could not like this video. Thanks
Hell YESS! I have a bench in the back yard now I need to complete but this is wayy better
It really looks like a professional bench you bought. The grey color is universal to ANY patio or deck.
Definitely trying this during the weekend
I love this bench, I will build it this weekend
Excelente trabajo!!!!!

This was a wonderful tutorial! The basic plan is I am sure height adjustable. Thanks for taking the time and for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
@@acreativetraveler783 hi what kind of glue did you use
It’s a silicone adhesive. There is a link in the video description.
Perfeito 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Genial
My late Spring project; thanks for sharing!!!
I absolutely love UA-cam! You guys are creatively inspirational. The only thing I would've added is something on the underside of each end like rubber or felt strips to prevent the concrete on concrete scraping.
I used marine mat carpet tiles. (rubber on one side, synthetic weave on the other)
Well, 2 years have gone by. Have you made one of these yet?
Wow....this is so amazing and easy. I love it
I can't wait to make a few of these.
Wow, thats awesome , i'm in the UK and definitely will be making one of these....great job dude

Cinder is a material that hasn’t been used since the 1920’s. Cinder blocks looked black/dark grey in color. Blocks today are made of concrete and fly ash. With that being said, this was a very simple and cool idea.
Excellent work!!
Amazing what you can do with cinder blocks - cheap weights
effective tutorial, good demo. thank you
Thanks for watching!

Wow :) I just search for ideas for small balcony in the city...but, think this will be very useful.
I planned to build a fence (for some privacy feeling :) )from wood and didn't know which furniture to make. I have some pallets to use, but this idea seems some much better.
Thanks for your video, I'll also film my balcony renovation, so be free to watch :) :)
+Andrea Aralica Glad you like it! I am very very happy with the way the bench turned out. Also, check out the cinderblock planter I did as well if you haven't already. The two together really made my small patio look amazing. Enjoy your project! I'd love to see how it turns out 😉
