I made this bench to replace a sidewalk planter box outside my front door. The only modifications I made were adding 4- 2x4 supporting legs - you can see them in the first photo. This just makes the legs a little sturdier and I also added some carriage bolts to give a slight decorative touch as well as to anchor the legs to the frame. I use a nail gun and some wood glue to secure the 2x4 to the side of the existing leg, and voila! Thank you for a very easy to understand and follow project, Ana!
