If you’ve got a garden space, then you need a bench where you can sit and really enjoy it. Don’t worry, a garden bench is a DIY project that anyone can do, with any budget. To show you, I’ve got 12 DIY benches that will work for ANY garden, from rustic to elegant.
1. Here’s a bench project that is about as rustic as you can get. A wire enclosure holds rocks, and the top is fitted with pads to make it comfortable. If you’ve got a pile of rocks that you don’t know what to do with, this project is for you!
2. Turn an old bed frame into a garden bench with this tutorial from Pretty Handy Girl.
3. This is an easy bench project you can do with some cinderblocks and lumber.
4. This bench seemingly built on wheels has an amazing rustic look and feel. I love it!
5. An old tailgate is the perfect vehicle {pun intended!} for a rustic farm bench.
6. Personally, I’ve been wanting to build a bench around one of my fruit trees. It looks so inviting!
7. For a simple bench that’s still rustically charming, use a couple of logs and a wooden slab.
8. Crates are a fun option when you want to build a budget-friendly bench.
9. I also really like this bench built from cinderblocks. Building it against the back of the house gives it a natural back.
10. Stone is used to build a garden bench that blends into its natural surroundings.
11. This bench project from Painted Therapy is created from an old baby crib.
12. Reclaimed wood is used to build this modern park bench. Get the free plans from Ana White.
