In many suburban areas, a bench is placed for a comfortable pastime. Sitting on it, you can talk with someone or just bask in the sun. Instead of a bench, a table and chairs are often placed so that the whole family can have a meal on fresh air. These are just a few options for how garden furniture can be used.

.

AT recent times multifunctional transformer-type furniture has become popular, which can be used for various needs. For example, a garden bench, after simple manipulations, turns into a table with seats. Simple, profitable and you can, moreover, do it yourself.

Nuances to consider

For cheap do-it-yourself assembly, it is better to use wood parts. To complete the assembly, you will need to create fairly detailed drawings that will help you navigate the process. They can be done both on paper by hand and in construction programs, if you have the skills to handle such software.

In addition to wooden blanks, you should stock up on self-tapping screws and prepare tools: a screwdriver, a saw, sandpaper, a brush for processing. There is a fairly simple movable design with two functional positions: a bench and a table. From one position to another, it passes with the help of a special connection.

You can find several various options assembling the structure with your own hands, but we will consider two. The first can use metal parts, and the second is completely made of wood. So where should you start?

Work materials

The most common types of wood that are used in such structures are pine and larch. They are perfect for making a frame. You can also use oak, but it is very difficult to process.

It is necessary to choose boards without rot and defects. You will need blanks up to 2 m long and up to 50 cm wide. For fastening, you will need a lot of small screws, nuts and bolts.

First assembly step

You need to make parts, align them, give them a shape and sand. The transformer bench can also be made according to individual sizes, but quite often the value of 1700 mm is used as the basis for the length of the frame.

The design of the transformer will consist of three connected parts - a table, a wide and a narrow bench. The first bench will be wider, and the second one will be narrower. This is necessary in order for the frame to fold:

• To make the wide part, you will need three parts 1700x120x20 or a solid shield 1700x400 mm. For the legs, two strips 34x11x11 mm will be used
• The resulting blanks are carefully polished
• The legs are fixed on the bar, forming the letter T
• The bench should be 450 mm high
• On the bar on which the legs are fixed, boards or shields are screwed using self-tapping screws.
• A spacer is placed between the legs, which will provide rigidity. It is connected to a similar element on the opposite side using a wooden pole, approximately 1690 mm long.

The first part is almost ready. Until it comes to assembling the rest of the elements, you need to check how the bench can withstand the weight of one or two people. If it has withstood the load, work can continue on the second and third structural elements.

The second stage - the countertop and the second bench

The second part of the structure in width will be slightly narrower than the first. Three elements will be used as legs - two, with dimensions of 320x10x10 and one 220x10x10 mm. All blanks are assembled in the shape of the letter A:

• To the upper bar of 220 mm, two bars 320 long are fixed at an angle and spacers are installed between them. The distance between the first bar and the second at the bottom should not be less than 300 mm
• The legs are connected to each other. On the resulting letter "A" is fixed three bars, size 1691x110x20 or a solid shield
• The total width of the manufactured part must be less than that of the first part. To check the correctness of the assembly, it is worth combining the benches. If they connect well, then everything is done correctly.
• The table is made of five boards, dimensions 1700x270x20 mm or a solid shield
• The blanks are screwed to the bar 1100x40x8 in increments of 80 mm

The upper part of the bench is ready, now it remains to complete the movable mechanism and fix it between the elements. In order for the transformer bench to change position, you will need several additional elements.

The third stage is the mechanism

As a result of the work, we have three parts - a wide and narrow bench, as well as a table. They need to be connected to each other by a movable element. When all the details are collected, we will get a transformer bench.

• Both metal and wooden planks can be used as a connecting part.
• It is necessary to connect the upper bar of the A-shaped leg with the tabletop, and then the middle of the T-shaped
• Instead of self-tapping screws, it is better to use a movable bolted connection, secured with a nut

• The corner of the first bench must be connected to the corner of the table top with a short bar.
• The second bench is connected by a long piece to the worktop plank
• At the end of the assembly, you need to check how the connection works

Additional option

There is another type of construction that you can assemble with your own hands. The transformer bench will not have six legs, but eight. Instead of two A-shaped parts, you need four.

They differ from each other only in the size of the upper part, which for two blanks will be 100 mm less. The designs of the shops will be absolutely identical. They are attached with a movable connection. A wooden part is screwed to the end of the workpiece, which has a long upper bar. It should be installed at an angle of 100° under the tabletop, connecting it to the bench. Its length is approximately half the length of the countertop plank. The connection is reinforced with a spacer.

The second bench is connected with an elongated bar without spacers. This type of construction can be made entirely of wood with your own hands.

Final stage

The last stage of DIY assembly has been completed and all that remains is to apply a protective coating. If the transformer bench is under a canopy, there is enough stain for more protection. In the case when a wooden structure is placed in an open space under the sky, a special waterproof paint should be used. First of all, the table is painted, then the seats and legs.

After painting, you will need to update the layer every 1.5 years, otherwise the tree will quickly rot. The design is able to stay in operation for about 10 years.

Conclusion on the topic

DIY transformer garden bench can become not only a functional household item, but also part of the garden interior. Details made of wood can not only be opened with varnish or paint, but also decorated with carvings and other decorative details. Only this should be done carefully so as not to damage the rigidity of the structure.

As a result, a do-it-yourself bench can also be used as a table when necessary.

Bench - the simplest subject furniture, consisting of a seat and legs, the legs are often connected by a stiffener, a drawstring. In more complex designs, there may be a back and sidewalls-armrests. Making a bench with your own hands is very simple, the most uncomplicated detail is the seat, it is usually made from one or more boards, slats, timber. There are much more options for making legs for benches, and a variety of materials are used for this purpose - wood, metal, concrete, less often plastic. In this article you will find some ideas on how to make a bench with traditional or original legs.

Bench leg options

The classic version is a wooden bench with X-shaped or U-shaped legs made of timber. Even simpler is a bench, the seat of which is made of one board, and the legs are made of short pieces of the same board, nailed or screwed closer to the edges of the seat. But you can make the legs for the bench yourself in other ways:

• weld or assemble on bolted joints from a profile steel pipe;
• to make figured metal elements using artistic forging, serving as seat supports, back supports, armrests;
• use pieces of logs as a support for sitting, or assemble a “wall” from several tiers of timber with a chamfer removed from 4 sides, rounded timber, thin logs;
• cut curly legs from a thick board.

Legs can be made from a variety of building materials:

• from concrete slabs, between which boards are inserted to form a seat;
• from hollow building blocks, into the cavities of which a beam for sitting is inserted;
• from boards folded in a “well”, stable and beautiful legs are obtained, which, despite their large size, do not look heavy;
• if balusters remain after the repair, or you have old furniture with carved wooden posts (bed, whatnot), they can be sawn into segments of the desired length (height) to make legs and back supports for the bench;
• lightweight mobile frame garden bench can be made from metal-plastic water pipes by connecting them with suitable fittings. The seat frame made of pipes is covered with a strong dense fabric, from which folding beds are made.

The legs can be wooden boxes in which flowers grow, or concrete, stone flower beds (mini-flower beds), located at a suitable distance from each other. The seat is made of a wide board, the ends of which rest on the edges of the flower girls, the length of the seat is equal to the distance between the flower beds (boxes). Massive round flowerpots can also serve as seat supports; in the seat closer to the edges, holes of a slightly smaller diameter are cut out than the top of the flowerpots. The edges of the bench will be decorated with live plants planted in flowerpots. Flowerpots for these purposes need very strong, because they will be loaded not only by sitting, but also by the weight of people sitting.

Stylish for a bench with a back original legs, serving simultaneously as armrests, can be made from wooden wheels. Only for stability and fixing the wheels in one position, you will need support-stands knocked down from boards or timber.

Parts can be used to make a bench old furniture, for example, a crib with figured backs. One back will serve as the back of the bench, and the other, sawn in half vertically and cut to the desired height, will serve as armrest legs. It is even easier to turn a shelf into a bench, then you can store different things under the seat. From below, it is advisable to fill the timber along the edges in order to raise the seat higher and avoid contact of the bottom with the ground, and put pillows of a suitable size on top. If there are old, but strong, not wobbly stools, a couple of stools can also be used as bench supports by stuffing boards of the desired length on top. Chairs are used in a similar way, only they turn around so that they turn from the back into the sides of the bench. For the armrests, they are a little high, but on such a bench you can sit with your legs stretched along the seat and leaning back on the sidewall.

Making wood legs

One option is to make straight legs from a bar or board 40-75 mm thick. Each leg is made up of:

• 2 vertical elements, the height of which is equal to the desired height of the bench minus the thickness of the seat;
• 2 horizontal crossbars that hold the racks together.

Horizontal elements are mounted between vertical ones, one is flush with the top edge, the second is at a distance of about 2/3 of the height from the bottom edge. The seat will rest on the upper crossbars. It is desirable to connect the lower crossbars with a stiffener, and if the bench is long, it will be useful to have one more stiffener between the upper crossbars.

Strong legs can be made from a 75 mm board, each consists of 2 vertical rectangular elements and 2 trapezoidal elements, which serve to connect the supports to the seat. In rectangular and trapezoidal parts, grooves are selected, as shown in the drawing. All parts are glued together, and the joints of the grooves are fixed with self-tapping screws. Furniture dowels are used to fasten the seat to the supports, the hidden connection looks neat.

You can make a bench with X-shaped supports so that the extension of one of the legs serves as a support for the back. Each support consists of 3 parts:

1. Short back leg.
2. Long front leg, turning into a back support.
3. The horizontal bar is the seat support.

Parts 1 and 2 are cut from a 50 mm thick board, the top and bottom are cut at an angle of 45 °. Between themselves, they are connected crosswise “in half a tree”, that is, in each board, a groove equal to the width of the other board is selected for half the thickness. They are folded and bolted together. Detail 3 of a trapezoidal shape is cut out of a beam (the ends are also sawn off at an angle of 45 °) and attached to a short support with self-tapping screws; it is more convenient to connect it with dowels with a long one. Behind the short supports are connected by a side, which plays the role of a stiffener.

Strong, massive legs are obtained from logs, different solutions are possible:

• for 2 trimming logs of the desired height, placed on the priest, a seat from the board is laid on top and fastened;
• a piece of log is sawn off, equal in length to the height of the bench and sawn lengthwise in half, it turns out 2 legs. They are installed with a cut inward, with the round side outward, from the side of the cut, an angular groove is selected to such a depth that the seat board lies in it. For such a bench, a very thick board is used;
• a log of large diameter is sawn lengthwise in half, 2 short fragments are sawn off, which will serve as legs. The legs are cut down, and the seat is cut up. For a more reliable connection, the top of the supports and the bottom of the seat at the points of contact with the supports, it is better to cut off a little to get flat areas.

An unedged board is most harmoniously combined with log legs. To connect parts of considerable thickness, metal pins are used, holes of a slightly smaller diameter are drilled under them than the pin itself. The pin is inserted into the lower part, and the upper one is mounted on it and nailed through a wooden gasket so as not to damage the wood.

metal legs

Elements of street benches made using the technique of artistic forging look very impressive, but only a blacksmith can make them on their own. Therefore, we will tell you how to make metal legs from pipes, everyone can handle this task.

The simplest option is to weld a rectangular frame from sections of a profile pipe, it can be strengthened by welding diagonal sections or transverse stiffeners. Another option is a U-shaped design with a cross member at the bottom. Such legs are covered from above with seat boards, which are fastened with bolts. You can make higher frames and weld jumpers at the height of the seat, on which the boards will rest, and the upper part of the frame serves as an armrest.

To make the frame look neater, the ends of the pipes are cut at an angle of 45 °, then after welding a structure without open cuts will be obtained. You can do without welding by bending the frame from a thick metal plate of sufficient width.

A slightly more complex design - the legs are trapezoidal, the trapezoid does not have a lower base, but its sides connected by a jumper at a distance of about 10 cm from the ground.

The main difficulty in manufacturing such a design is to fix the parts at the right angle so that they do not move during the welding process. For these purposes, there is a professional device - a positioner, but you can do without it. You need to take a wooden blank, attach the parts to be joined, outline them, drill a series of holes around the perimeter and screw threaded studs into them so that they fix the parts in the desired position.

Another interesting safety design made of metal and wood:

• 2 identical pieces of a round or shaped pipe are taken;
• they are bent so as to get U-shaped structures with a long cross-beam and short legs. The crossbar and legs are mutually perpendicular, but the angle between them is rounded;
• the board is cut into fragments of the desired length, in accordance with the desired width of the bench (approximately 40 cm). In places where the board will be in contact with the body, it is advisable to chamfer and round the corners between the faces;
• prepared boards are attached from above to two supports along the entire horizontal plane and to the upper part of the vertical racks, as a result, the edges of the seat smoothly bend down, there are no sharp edges. For fastening, bolts with flat caps are used, which are recessed into holes of a slightly larger diameter.

By the same principle, you can make a table.

Legs made of concrete products

To make a bench with legs from concrete slabs, you will need:

• 12 square plates 50x50 cm 50 mm thick;
• 5 two-meter boards 38 mm thick, 15 cm wide;
• 4 threaded rods M16 55 cm long, 8 nuts and washers M16 each;
• Drill with a drill for wood and a drill for concrete with a diameter of 18 mm.

In boards at a distance of 10 and 40 cm from both ends and on equal distance holes are drilled from the sides. 2 holes are drilled in each plate, retreating 7.5 cm from the top edge and 10 cm from the left and right. Boards are placed between the plates, aligning the holes. Boards must first be sanded, treated with an antiseptic, painted or varnished. Rods are threaded into the holes and, after assembling the structure, they are screwed on the ends of the nuts.

It is even easier to make bench legs from standard hollow cinder blocks with 3 rectangular cavities. For each leg, you will need 3 or 4 blocks, depending on the desired height of the bench. Blocks can be pre-colored in one or different colors to make the bench look more attractive. The blocks are stacked on top of each other so that the cavities are parallel to the ground, the adjoining faces are glued together with a special adhesive for cellular concrete. It remains only to insert the ends of the pre-treated timber of the required length and suitable section into the cavities of the upper tier, so that there are no large gaps between the edges of the timber and the walls of the cavities.

These are just some options for legs for a bench, you can take these models as a basis and make your own changes to them or come up with your own version of making legs from improvised materials.

suitable for high-quality improvement of parks, squares, city avenues and sidewalks. A company of several people can comfortably sit on such a bench.

Peculiarities:

At classic models there are three strong and stable cast iron supports that will provide the bench with stability and a long service life;

Do more modern models cast-iron benches have two strong, but at the same time very elegant cast-iron supports, on which boards are fixed;

Coniferous trees are usually used as the wood used, the wood is saturated with bioprotective impregnation to counteract rotting and destruction by various microorganisms due to constant exposure high level humidity;

Cast iron is decorated with powder coating, usually two layers of such paint are applied. All this will significantly extend the service life of the product;

The fastening of the beam to the legs is usually carried out with the help of bolts.

Varieties of cast iron benches:

- park benches - they are distinguished by an open and massive design, the design is usually classic and without any frills. Such benches can be seen in quiet squares among the thick of trees, so that you can hide from rain and sun, wait out the bad weather with coziness and comfort;

- city ​​benches - located along busy sidewalks, next to squares, monuments and monuments. Distinguished by beautiful wood carvings, colorful swirls of iron forging, the whole design creates a feeling of lightness and airiness;

Outdoor benches are simple in design and durable in functionality. They may not have backs, this is done to reduce the cost of construction. The pedestals are made of two cast-iron parts with volutes, the seating top is made of durable lacquered softwood planks.
