DECK STORAGE BENCH

This is the storage bench I made for our deck last spring.  I use it to store the grandkids outdoor toys and other deck things for the winter.

I got the plans HERE
The plans are all on one page now.  I think there were 3 pages when I did mine. I did change out some things, though.

#1 I used composite decking instead of regular lumber, that way I won't ever have to paint it, but boy is that sucker HEAVY!


#2 Because I used composite decking, I did not curve the top, so it would have a clean manufactured edge on top.

#3 I added a 1/2 board at the bottom, since I had some left, and made the storage area deeper.

Too bad the deck looks so crummy next to it. The plan is to restain the deck this year. We got all the stain last summer, but ran outta time. One good thing tough; Gary got most of the deck cleaned last year, so the prep work won't take as long this year.
