Two Power Tool Backyard Bench

- Ever wanted a bench for your backyard or patio that's easy to build? I'll show you how to make and assemble this bench only using 2 power tools!
Plans can be found here! (imgur.com/a/LLiTloR) Keep in mind this may vary based on the exact height and width of your 2x4s, but once you decide the length and width of your main seat, the rest fits inside of that.
Here are the tools I used:
-Ryobi 13-Amp 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw
www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-13-A...
-Ryobi 5.5-Amp 3/8" Drill
www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-5-5-...
-Kreg 8.25 in. Mini Jig Pocket Hole Kit
www.homedepot.com/p/Kreg-8-25-...
-Right angle clamp
www.harborfreight.com/hand-to...
-Other hand tools like the clamps and speed square are around $10 or less.
The Pocket Hole Kit is not needed for this project if you don't have one, you can still screw the legs into place at an angle.
Although I don't use it on this project, you can support me by using offer code '3PW' to get 10% off Starbond Premium Super Glue!

![$30 Outdoor Bench with Back from 2x6s [Only 3 Tools and 30mins]](/img/1.gif)
Our Girl Scout Troop followed your plans to create six benches for one our camp properties. Your video was so easy to follow and it resulted in such a well crafted and sturdy bench that will serve Girl Scouts for years to come. Thank you for posting this and let me know how to send you picture of their completed project!
That is so cool! This warms my heart, and I would love to show my daughters! I can be reached at theben1013@gmail.com
Looks good! Fast and easy. One thing you could do if you decide to make another is utilize that pocket hole jig more. Think about all the screws you can see from the exterior. You could hide alot more of them. Great project!!
Nice and detailed enough but to the point and short enough for my attention span. You even fit a small detailed explanation of the jig everyone uses but won't say one word on how to use it. One of the best tutorials on RUclips I've seen.
Thank you!
I made an 8 foot version of this last spring. Very sturdy and easy to build. Thanks for the video!
I love how you actully explain the useful tools needed. Thanks.
I have looked at a lot of bench builds over the past few days, looking for something a less-experienced person (a youngster) could build. And I think this is it! I read some of the comments below. Ignore them this is a nice bench and decent build video. We will change the sizes, make a few improvements (now that you have shown that's one way to do it, it's easy to think of changes that would be better, of course) and we need to put a back on the bench. Thanks so much for showing the plan.
I really love how you made that bench.You made it very sturdy without looking like it was too sturdy you know it didn’t look like it was made with a whole bunch of extra supports but now actuality it was extremely sturdy. I also really liked how you use those thick legs. I’m going to make a bench Soon and your style is definitely one of my favorite so far. Thank you❤
Thank you!
So many astute listeners missed the parts where you said "you don't need this". I appreciate knowing how and why additional items can be useful, even if not crucial, i.e. clamps are a great and practical asset, but using the time tested adage of 'measure twice, cut once' would suffice for clamps.
Practicing drilling pocket holes on a scrap piece of wood should suffice, though I might consider a quality wood glue. If one uses stain and an old rag, even a brush is not needed. So yes, you can build this with only 2 tools, 3 technically because of a tape measure, but let's not quibble. Well done.
Thank you!
I have been holding on to these four 2x4s for about a year now looking for the best looking build on youtube. WOW! You are it! I'm going to start this tomorrow. Thanks so much! 😃
Awesome! Hope it goes well!
Very nice! Really clever idea to use the spacer for the top pieces. I'll have to remember that
Thank you! So I just bought a new house and found some wood laying around. I was able to make the top according to your video, but ran out of wood to make the legs. I could easily have gone to buy more 2x4s, but I'm super resourceful and looked around for something else to use. I found some cut logs about 2-2.5" diameter, cut them into 15" lengths and screwed them into place for legs. They turned out PERFECT! I wish I could post pictures. Thank you for posting this! It gave me confidence to try some woodworking for the first time and it turned out so well. Free solid wood bench!
I am glad you had a great first experience project. I am vesting in woodshop machines to have a hobby wood and metal shop

Good, simple design; sturdy, looks great and functions well. Thanks for sharing. Well built !
Thank you!
I think that's a great, easy, project. Well done!
Dude this is a sick idea! Love how sturdy it is and that its also visually appealing
@BigBad BULL Lap joint is a great idea. Easy and strong!
Muy. Buena idea
I’ve never known what right angle clamps were used for. Awesome! I wish I had known this 30 yrs ago. Thnx
I never knew either, I thought it was for picture frames only.
Sand first before sealing, then apply sanding sealer. It will make your top coat much more even. Spar urethane is a great finish.
Sometimes the simple items are the fun ones to make. thanks for sharing.
You nailed that build so hard! Looks great, great video … seriously good job 👍
Thank you for building plans..Going to take to my woodshop class..there will have all the tools needed. Great new project
Simple, and functional. Good job.
Thanks!
Great job...... This is a great project for a 80 degree saturday or Sunday project and a 6-pack then when finished fire up the grill.....and enjoy the bench for many stories..
Looks elegant yet simple to make!
Love it.
Thanks!
Great job!!!! Hey make more videos. You have great DIY skills..!
Fantastic! Well done, both on the bench and the video
Thank you!
Its outdoor furniture.... I love the basic design and the simplicity of it. One comment suggest plugging the holes with dowels. With a little more forethought, you could drill a few more pocket holes and all of your screws would be hidden. It would definitely step up the craftsmanship of the piece. Great job!!!!
Thank you !
Thank you so much for this video ohmygoD. I have to make a bench tomorrow in my ag class but my teacher literally hasn’t taught me what to do and your video helps so much in what to do.
Great video. You have good presentation skills. Well done.
Love it! The look and how easy it was !!!
Thanks!
HEY! MY MAN! GOOD JOB! Im making one.
Love this. Simple, stylish, robust. Thanks.
Thank you!
Good video. It's good you explain the pocket hole jig. I never used one before and when it crossed my mind it might be useful I had to look at it for a few minutes to figure out the purpose of the bigger drill bit and how would you adjust depth. After awhile I figured it out but I don't build a lot of furniture... However recently I've found I need to build a couple things, work bench and I need some specific size storage shelves so might pick one up
Nicely done ✅
Wow! You made putting this bench together look easy. I will be building one for my outdoor dining table. Thank you so much 😊.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with your build
Thank you! ☺️
Nice build. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
Awesome, great work I'm going to try it. I just built a bench to hold 4 massive solar batteries with 4 just below it. Keep it going man, laterrrrrrrrrrrr
Cut List:
3 ea. = 57" (the seat slats) Install these before installing the four 14" cross braces. This way there is no gap between the bench and the cross braces.
6 ea. = 14" (frame and cross braces) these can be cut from the leftovers from the three 57" seat slats
2 ea. = 5' (frame) (you can make the legs from the leftover pieces and save buying a 4x4)
2 ea. = 7" (leg braces)
4 ea. = 16.5" 4x4 (legs) (typical bench is 18" off ground. subtract 1.5" width of 2x4 bench slats = 16.5") (you could also make these from the leftovers from the 5' frame sides)
What about the bracing holding all 4 legs together ?
@@xcondottierejay9038 included in the cut list
7" leg braces.
@@TheWoodHaven xCondottiereJay was correct. You forgot the bottom cross bar that is part of the "H-Stretcher" leg bracing: 1 ea.4' 2" (50")
@@LilSatchmo guess I missed it. thanks for pointing it out.
THANK YOU! This is what I was looking for when I went and looked at the plans.
Very good, simple enough real DIY project with minimal tools
I really like it and will make one for our new deck. I'll probably counter sink the screw holes a little and use some dowel pins to finish it off. Nice job.
That is the best and easiest bench Ive seen made thank you mate Im going to try it this weekend.
That's awesome! Hope you have a good build, as others have suggested I would use a better finish and some more sanding, but mine is still in my backyard after 4 years. Have fun!
Now that was cool. I enjoyed your video.
Hi Ben, I just finished building a deck bench based on yours in the video. Mine bench is longer -- 8 feet -- but I followed your directions and guidance for the most part. Thanks for the great video.
I made one change to your assembly order. Once I built the frame, I next screwed the three "seat" boards into the frame ends. This approach helped me ensure each seat board (each about 93 inches long) sits level with the frame. Then I laid the cross members across the seat boards, screwed each cross member to the frame sides, then finally screwed each cross member to the seat boards. The whole top is incredibly simple and yet quite sturdy.
This morning I added four sets of legs given the length of my bench. My 4 X 4 legs are 17.5 inches in height, so the bench is about 19 inches high in total. This height is perfect for extra seating, potted plants, or both.
I made the new bench from pressure-treated pine. It will take 2-3 months to cure out in the weather, then be ready to paint or stain.
I can send you a photo if you like. Thanks again for the great video.
That sounds awesome! I would love to see a longer version of the bench. My Twitter and Instagram links are on my channel page or you could send it to Theben1013@gmail.com , I'm glad you tried it out, mine is still in my backyard after about 4 years.
High not sure if you're still around but I would love to see how your bench turned out. You could email me a photo if you get this and have the time. I'm about to be making one for our deck too.
Your standard of excellence is applaudable.
Most diyers would not have used corner clamps before securing corners nor gone back to measure once the top was completed.
Encouraging your viewers to stay hydrated on hot days is a wise touch--you have an "old soul" to be young.
Impressive vid.
Thanks.
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment, that made my day.
@@3PWorkshop
Well deserved!
Nice effort young man. May I suggest using glue as well as deck screws for the joints. The glue will help overall strength of the joint especially when the bench will be exposed to the weather. Deck screw and or nails can create cracks in the wood whereas the glue will adhere the cellulose of the wood and prevent cracking and or splitting to a degree. Please take your time when laying out your corners and joinery, I noticed some slop in the setup and finish. Also, consider chamfering or round over the edges that rest against human legs. It can be done sans power tools with sandpaper, rasp, etc. Overall well done and keep honing your skills. Happy Holidays from SoCal
Excellent job! Easy and solid 👍
Thank you!
Nice bench! Gonna build one of those this summer.
Awesome! My bench lasted several years
Great vid! I'm going to try it!
Well done. Great bench.
Good job. One tip tho, you may collect some of the sawdust, mix it with a transparent super glue, and cover the scrwes head to completely hide them. Of course you need to make sure that the scrwe head is lower than the wood surface.
Nice Tip
Quality product man. Looks good.
Thanks
Very nice. I hope someday I can have those kinds of power tools. As of now, I only have a hammer and a handsaw for my woodworks.
These look great I'm about to make three of them to place around a table on my deck!.
That's awesome!
Awesome job ... thank you
Very nice , thank you. I built your project but added glue and then screwed the pieces together. I added glue because by just screwing into the end grain ,it does not create a long term fixing in my humble opinion. To finish off the look of the bench I torched the entire bench with a propane torch to pop the grain . ( "Shou Sugi Ban " technique) I then sanded the black char away lightly with a rotating nylox drill brush , sanded with the grain.. I then stained the bench with a oil based cherry color die and finished with two coats of clear poly.
That sounds awesome!
What an awesome video with explanations on everything! I’m now a subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!
2 tools + square, pencil, tape measure, pocket hole jig, angle brackets, clamps, level, sealer, paint brush...
Jus
Excellent bench! Love it!!
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie
He said 2 "Power" tools!
Good job. Well done.
Thank you very much for sharing this video , and you have done a great job, looks simple and beautiful. I will be making one soon I did book mark your video. SOme one said about the Glue thats true i guess that will keep it stronger. Now on different note ,Ignore those ignorants and deplorable who are counting the tools and making nasty and negative comments, they should not be watching it, but again these are the people who are going to use all your instructions and in return instead saying thank you they made negative comments.I apologize on behalf of them, and one more sorry for my messed up grammar, soon your bench style will be sitting in a european backyard. Peace ,Respect and appreciation.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it
Great video - thanks for sharing your time and experience.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for diy video.Though maybe more tools is used,but it helps to build it (coffee tables,benches,etc.beautiful.)really thankfull.
Thank you for showing how to make it, also your help on how to use that Jig Hole, got to get one of them i think. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it!
This woodworking book is really detailed, t.co/oLg9l5gL3F ! With the aid of this plan, I was able to use words, drawings, real images and different diagrams. It is really an informative product. I am presently making furniture together with my brother and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible.?
This is thus far the best one
A little more than 2 tools but amazing! Thank you!
Gotcha! Makes sense
You know your stuff man good job
Thank you!
I enjoyed it and it was simple enough to attempt as a newbie. Thanks again. Ps. ignore the negative commentary - 😇
Nice!! Learn diy from this video! Thanks👍
I hope you enjoyed this weekend build, everyone!
What are the dimensions of the bench?
Thanks that was cool I just got a deck and want a bench I recently got Ryobi set with a drill impact miter saw the only thing I would add to the bench is a touch of routing to round off the edges
That would be a good idea, over the years it has gotten some splinters so smooth it out. Glad you liked it!
Built the frame and added the shorter 2x4 seat supports underneath, according to the video. Now adding the top 3 middle 2x4s to the bench seat. The shorter bottom supports are too low to support the long middle 2 x 4s on top, if the long top 2 x 4s & bottom short 2x4s are both flush with the frame. BETTER to add the long middle 2x4s FIRST, after building the frame!! And then add the shorter 2x4s underneath for close support underneath. Key- Short 2x4s should not be flush with the frame underneath. They should be flush with the back of the long middle 2x4s. Live and LEARN!! Great trail bench for my Eagle project! Thanks!!
I love this wood working book *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . A few of the topics talked about in the book include wood working strategies, explanation on the development cycles of trees, and various lumber characteristics that craftsmen favor. I also provided my father another copy.
I agree. I just built this bench and had the same situation. Plus man is the whole thing heavy. You better believe it.
@@ernieball2324 Heavy is good! Live on a small, very windy island.
Definitely agree. Attaching the long middle first -- before the cross supports -- ensures that the top/sitting area is level with the frame.
I read this comment too late as have the same issue right now (building it today). Excellent video anyway. Thanks! An great comment.. wish I read earlier
The quality of the trees looks so good. Wood feels healthy. like
Espetacular
Nice work, I enjoyed it.
+Sgt Taggart thank you!
Where's the dimensions
Nice bench I think I'll make one
Hi Eddie, i wrote this up for another comment, hope it helps "I found my old plans, they should be mostly accurate. The small 2x4s on the top and sides of the bench are 14.5in. The long ones along the side are 5ft. The three across the bench top are 56.5in. The 4x4 legs are 20in. The short pieces holding the legs are 7.5in and the long piece holding the legs together is 53in. That should be everything"
Just completed this project using the video. Perfect match. Would be cool to see how to add a backrest.
That's awesome! I would like to add a backrest one of these days.
Love this. I think I'm going to try it.
Awesome, thank you!
Very nice, I picked up a few ideas I can use for later. Still learning.
Glad it was helpful!
Make it three tools. I use the impact driver to hold a drill bit to make pilot holes and the drill to screw in deck screws with a torque setting that effortlessly sets the screw without splitting the wood which the impact drivers invariably do because they have too much power. Deck screws usually don’t require pilot holes but in my experience they often split the wood. A miter saw is the third tool. A $199 DeWalt 20 V 7 1/4 is really the best tool for making angle cuts as required
Fast and easy just the way I like it lol I will make this for the guy next door however I will router and burn then stain and clear thanks for sharing it’s video’s like this that get people building and staying away from ikea
Awesome, thanks!
Yup! Liked the video! Will you make a potting bench? 😬
Good job TWO TOOL BENCH Man... Keep on keepin on...Remember: You cant please All the People All the time... Extenuate the Positive and Le go of the Negative... u da man
Accentuate
Thanks. Need to make some wood benches for a diy sauna and these look totally doable.
Mine is still in my backyard after 4 years! I would recommend a more durable finish but the bench is an easy build.
I swear people are so mean! Some people just look for ways to be nasty. This is a great video. Not too much unnecessary talking, to the point, great instructions.
Thank you!
Bravo brother 👊 nice job
Thanks!
Nice size. Easy to use and lightweight.
Thanks!
I like the concept
Thank you, I just build one works great!!!
Very useful video - just what I needed
Glad you liked it!
love this. So simple and efficient.
Thank you!
Thank you for the nice video.....its fairly simple.....no high tech tools (would be nice to have thou) and it looks good .......
Nice bench! thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks!
Cool video,great work.
Thanks!
Nice bench and nice t-shirt
Great job!
Great job nice bench 3Pworkshop I am a carpenter by trade and that was just a amazing bench you did don’t listen to people comments keep the good work buddy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
My only suggestion would be use glue next time. Also possibly worth using pocket holes instead of seeing all the screw heads.
Great project!
Thank you!
Fantastic bench. Great clear video.
( apart from the mind numbing soundtrack)
Thanks! I'll try and get some better music next time :)
Hey man awesome videos! Have you ever built a learning tower for kids.
Where they can stand and help cook and be interactive at eye level
Learned a lot. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job I hope to make one like this
Awesome, good luck!
Very Nice. Congratulations.
Thank you!
Recognize those rock walls. Gal in previous comment verified where you hang your hat. Good job fella, best of luck to you. God bless be safe
Right? Those walls are everywhere here, been here almost 10 years and still love it. Thanks for watching!
@@3PWorkshop yes sir
Suggestion to reinforce your corners with right angle brackets so bench don't wiggle and in another video could you add a backrest, liked the vid good job.
