This was modified from a hose bench plan from Sunset Magazine website. I lengthened the front legs to 20 in and the back support legs to 36 in to accomodate a deeper box. It was made from 1x 6 scrap, a 36 in piano hinge, mdf pre-cut letters and two hinge supports. I painted the letters with yellow spray paint and the bench with two coats of exterior satin green paint. I also added a tray made from 1/8 in luan plywood timmed with 1x3 sides and screen molding sliding on a pvc 1x2. The seat was strengthened with additional cleats for sitting. Peel-n-stick decals
