I'm building a few sitting benches for my eagle project. They will be placed in a nature preserve but I can't seem to find a way of preventing the benches from sinking. Keep in mind that the people at the preserve plan on moving the benches around even after I am finished with the project. The terrain of the preserve is mostly grass, mud and some mulch trails. To give you a better idea, the preserve is about an hour northwest of Chicago. Any ideas?
I'm doing an Eagle project and part of it is building benches outside, so I need some simple to follow plans so that I can easily explain it to others who would help build them.

I'm building benches and grooming stands for my Eagle Scout project, and I need some relatively simple blueprints and instructions on how to build a grooming stand. Any suggestions for websites where I might find plans for this kind of project?
This 1940's era redwood picnic table set was handed down to us and originally belonged to my husband's grandparents. It is not treated or stained. We need to replace the legs and braces because some pesky squirrels have been sharpening their little teeth on them. I want to use as close to original lumber as I can get but do not know where I can purchase it, or if it is even available anywhere. The separate benches and table top have been made from 2x's with 4 and 6 inch width boards and the braces and legs are 2x2 and 2x3. All of the boards are of the dimensions used in the 1940's, which by today's lumber dimension standards are probably not the same. Nor do I want treated or stained lumber. And I certainly do not want to use the set for kindling in the fireplace. Any ideas?
