Love this seating

12 years ago

My husband and I would like to copy this seating in our backyard. It would be so wonderful if you are able to give us the dimensions. We haven't even started building and already are having creative difference on what the size of it should be. Are the slats 5 inch or 6? What is the seat depth? What is the overall footprint (front to back). So grateful for any info you can share. Thank you in Advance.

We did this one not from plan or construction detail, and it was a few years ago so unfortunately i don't have the specs. but generally a good bench seat is anywhere from 18"-24" deep and about 18"- 20" high and then whatever length you want. We used 6" boards here with a very small gap from the ground up. hope that helps.
