This project is based on the outdoor storage bench at morelikehome.net, which was based on an Ikea outdoor storage unit. I used 100 year old lath that I recycled from a remodeling project. The lid of the bench lifts off, it will eventually hide the timer for a drip irrigation.
Estimated Cost
less than $30 due to recycled wood. The most expensive item was the wood glue.
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
redwood stain, brand is Preserva Wood
Recommended Skill Level
