Build your own reclaimed wood benches - you can use pallet boards for the tops! Free plans from Ana-White.com

Preparation
1 - 1x12 @ 6 feet long
2 - 1x4 @ 8 feet long
Can be built with 1 1/4" pocket hole screws, 2" countersunk screws
Nail top on with 1 1 4" or longer finish nails and glue
2 - 1x12 @ 17 1/4”
2 - 1x12 @ 21 1/2”
2 - 1x4 @ 30” (both ends cut at 45 degrees off square, ends NOT parallel)
9 - 1x4 @ 14 1/4”

Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Instructions
It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

Good Design
I've built many benches and the multi colored design is a great inspiration to my room decor. Very easy to build.
