- We decided that this corner of the house needed something so I built a custom bench seat. It wasn't too complicated and was an easy DIY project that anyone could attempt.

Great lesson mate!
Appreciate it!

Thank you my man!
Bench was Simple & turned out great, but using all the tools like a nail gun with no shoes or safety glasses... 😂
Hi
Z❤
Are your tops terribly heavy? I’m wanting to build a couple of these that will be 7 ft long. I’m considering cutting the top in two to make it less heavy. Wondered if you thought it was necessary?
They do weigh a decent amount. We thought about adding additional hinges such as the soft close ones or hydraulic ones to help with it. However, I would say the size of ours is perfect, any larger i would definitely suggest cutting them in two!
You could always install it as one 7ft long piece and test it out. If you find it too heavy even with the proper hinges then I would cut it.
Also depends on who will be using it (just you vs. family members/friends/kids) and if you trust them to be careful with it. Hope this helps!
Looks great, nice and clean design. What was the cost for materials?
Thanks! I dont have the exact cost but it was somewhere between $200-400 CAD for the size we built. Cost will vary slightly depending on materials too. For example, we used mdf boards VS. plywood. Both work just as good, it just comes down to preference. Hope that helps!
Creative. Not a fan of the HVAC solution or the top. Would have centered the HVAC register on the front of the unit. Also, Would be more visually appealing - and stronger - if the lid backsplash wooden strip was one piece verses three. 🤷🏻♂️
what kind of drill are you using?
dewalt cordless 20v drill, I got it from Home Depot as a two piece set
What is the length of the screw you used? Is it 3” or 4”?
I believe 3"👍🏼
@@nickdesgn Thanks. Already built the bench. Where did you order/made the cushion? Any references?
@@jinojonesscaria No problem! I searched "custom bench cushion" on Etsy and there were numerous options on there. You just have to tell them the length and width plus the thickness you'd like once you find a seller you like
I didn’t see it they said where they got the cushions?
We found someone on Etsy who custom made them for us! We sent the dimensions and chose a fabric from the options they had. It was very simple and easy to do if you're looking to do the same!
Cute boxers 🥰
Where did you get the hinges?
Home Depot!
