Building a garden bench

Choose palettes that are as similar as possible to achieve uniformity.

To make the benches, stack three pallets on top of each other and repeat this step five times.

Once arranged, screw the pallets together using corner brackets. For flat brackets, you can use the corner brackets, which you flatten using a hammer.

Like us, you can arrange them in an L shape.

Vegetable garden construction

To make the vegetable garden, stack two pallets on top of each other. To create a bin, remove the top of the bottom pallet and remove the top and bottom of the top pallet, leaving only the sides.

If you wish to create a long tray, also remove the side that will be on the inside. Note that if you create a row of three bins, the middle bin will have only the top and bottom sides. Now you can screw everything together with the brackets.

To close the bottom of the tray completely, turn the pallets over and screw the slats you’ve just removed between the existing slats on the bottom pallet. Now it’s time to do the paws.

Use removed battens and screw them under the two front corners. One slat widthwise, the other lengthwise. You’ll have legs that form a right angle.

Assembling the vegetable bench

The bins you’ve just created will also serve as a backrest for your garden bench. They must therefore be installed over the bases created in steps 2 and 3. To do this, place the bins on half of the pallets forming the base. You can adjust the distance to suit your seating requirements.

Screw it all together.

File construction :

Now that the cabinet is formed, you can install the files. To do this, use pallets that are the same width as a seat, with horizontal slats. Simply screw these pallets onto the edge of the garden to create an extension and a higher back.

In this project, we sawed our pallets in half to reduce the height.

To solidify the backrests, use laths and screw them to the sides of the garden and to the back of the backrests. You can also screw angle brackets to join the pallets.

The finish

Pallet wood is imperfect and often rough, so you’ll need to sand your entire piece of furniture using the coarse grit of the sanding block and repeat this step with the fine grit. This will make your bench much more comfortable.

Now that your structure is made soft, apply a coat of oil-based, all-purpose primer.

Once the primer is completely dry, you can apply the paint using the 55 mm brush. Two or three coats are needed for a lasting effect.

Finally, as this is outdoor furniture, it also needs to be protected from the elements. Apply two coats of Colorantic varnish using the recommended methods.

In closing…

So, after all that work, you’ll be ready to enjoy a roaring fire while munching on your crops straight from the garden. A wonderful way to combine relaxation and healthy eating!
