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 am planning to build a fire pit and benches for my eagle project. does anyone have plans or designs for a bench made of trek decking or a similar material? your help is greatly appreciated.
I'm building some park benches for an eagle project, but they will be built in an area that floods often and needs to be mowed. Because of these two reasons, I need to build benches that won't float away if it does flood and they need to be movable.
My idea so far is to attach a small weight to the bottom, about 5 or 10 pounds, and either nail it or superglue it. What are some weights I could use? (I also would like to know of any other ideas you have for a movable, but study picnic bench).
No, I haven't seen/heard of that? Do you have a link?
Working on my Eagle Project, for Scouts. In my plan for a local church, I'm building 4 or 5 benches in an outdoor prayer area. I can't seem to find plans for building any pedestal style wooden benches. They're supposed to be permanent, which is why I'm looking for pedestal. If anyone knows any good designs for a free standing bench though, it would be appreciated. My online searches haven't given me anything too helpful, mostly just kits or over-elaborate plans that wouldn't be worth the effort.
