• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

My wife requested a bench, but I dont have time to build a new one. Walked her into the garage and showed her a dump find. That will do she says but it needs repairs and paint.3666.jpg

Looks impressive
If its only the bottom rails damaged it shouldn't be very long to do.
I would look at a mod that puts less or no timber in contact with the ground

" that will do" !!!
 
I'll watch with interest but I'm stuck at thinking about having enough space to store a spare bench without even mentioning it to my wife!
 
Space is no problem but I know you are limited. Plan on sitting the bench on concrete patio slabs and add sacraficial bottom blocks which I can replace when needed.

If I could put forward the following Scott...

I made some benches for displaying my Bonsai trees. To keep them off the concrete slabs I've inserted some stainless steel bolts - drilled holes in the bottom of the feet/legs.

Raises the feet about 6mm/¼" but seems to be enough. I would have used larger bolts (bigger head thickness) but the timber I used didn't really allow for such - bearing in mind that the bolts were an after thought after completing the benches.
