Hi Leslie,

Thank you for your inquiry. I built these wooden benches myself out of redwood 2 x 2s, 2 x 6s, and 4 x 4s many year ago. Here is a closer view of the bench:

If you Google bench or deck design I am sure you can find something similar.

Thank you...I want a wooden bench for my porch!! I was also thinking of making them myself!

Where did you get the cistern/rain barrel?

I made the rain cistern out of a recycled corrugated culvert.
