Easy DIY Garden Bench & Planter with Hidden Storage

I made a garden planter with a built in bench and hidden storage. It was all made using cheap 2x4's and basic tools. Check out how I made it and some mistakes I made along the way.
The wooden planter box is a simple way to get into DIY garden projects and making planters DIY is the easiest way to get started. Upgrade your planter by adding a bench seat and this becomes a really useful DIY Garden Project that anyone can make with a few basic tools and basic wood from your local DIY store or home centre.

Looks great! Love your “helper” too 😂

[@georgegriffiths2235]

As you run long boards out the door put a hinged shelf across the door at the same level as your mitre saw for out feed support 😊

[@lionandbear]

I like your thinking! I’m going to build some cabinets for my mitre saw which might give it enough support but if not I may try something like that. 👍

[@startmaking1]

great video Ben. Really enjoyed this.

[@lionandbear]

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

[@michaelwillson6847]

Nice job mate. Quick question hows the base camp mask? Is it any good? Planter looks awesome trust me though as someone who made 3 @ 2.2m legnth your better using the tanalised stuff bit easier cut assemble and move 😮 nice job though 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@lionandbear]

Thanks mate, yeah it’s all tanalised so hopefully should last.
The base camp mask is comfortable. It can be a bit warm but the soft straps is more comfortable than other masks I’ve worn. I find with my other masks that have plastic and rubber on the mouthpiece that they end up condensing and it can drip onto my project. This one doesn’t do that.
My verdict on it is that is good but not perfect.

[@michaelwillson6847]

@@lionandbear no worries mate thanks would you recommend worthwhile buying it (was yours sent to ya?) I really need sort out mask especially for when am turning and gonna start milling my own timber but am thinking a might be better off saving up for one the air powered ones least then don't have to go through every mask on the market to find the right one.
Looks wicked that project hopefully wife is happy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@lionandbear]

@michaelwillson6847 I got sent it mate but had been looking at buying either that one or the RZ Mask which looks very similar. It’s definitely one I’ll keep wearing so I’d recommend it for that. Not sure if you’d want it for turning due to the amount of material flying around. I’d probably get myself something a bit more heavy duty for turning. This one is good for sanding and cutting etc in my opinion.

[@michaelwillson6847]

@@lionandbear yea I've usually got a face shield on aswell as mask but problems eye wear plus glasses doesn't really work. Will look about see what else is out there 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@Ryan-ui9vs]

Are you concerned with the chemicals in the pressure treating process leaching out into the soil and your plants?

[@lionandbear]

Not really to be honest. There will be a plastic liner for the soil so I’m not overly concerned to be fair mate.
