HomeMadeModern | DIY Concrete and Wood Bench @HomeMadeModern | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This is an easy DIY concrete and wood bench project. I used 5-gallon buckets to form concrete columns for the base and used cedar 2x6s for the top. The modular design allows the pieces to be moved separately and the design works well at different lengths. I need a lot of outdoor seating for events at my new properties and this DIY bench is great for outdoor parties.

I will do a follow up video on testing the 20-foot version and I ma considering adding a tension cable or a 3rd piece of concrete.
