It was going to the dump, just didnt make it there yet...

Wow! What a great use of an old bed. Looks wonderful!

Joanne

very nice!

Wowwwwww!!
That is beautiful....

How long did it take to make it,
and did you have a blueprint of some sorts???

What a fantastic idea! It looks gorgeous! That's seriously one of the nicest looking benches I've seen!

That looks great.

Adding to the other questions: what kind of wood did you use and what stain/finish?

what a neat and useful idea

Weezie, it only took about an hour to put together.
all the bits were there already, so it just needed a few screws and a bit of sawing.
if i had a blue print it wouldnt have been so quick to make
Melissa, its made of pine, so it wont last too long outside.
and it was varnished twice with some old stuff leftover in the shed.
Total cost = £0.00p
thanks for all the comments.

Wonderful!!! It looks so comfortable too!

Wow! Very NICE!

I love it! And at 0 pounds how can you go wrong!

You're a genius. Looking good. Sue

Looks awesome!!! I can see that just covered in pots of colorful blooms rather than a sitting area.

You did a beautiful job, Mark!! Thanks for the idea!

Very creative...turned into a beautiful piece of patio furniture. Add a nice, comfy cushion and you have a good spot for a little nap.

Mark, just curious, did you add a coat or two of water sealer after you varnished?

no water sealer, that would cost money

That is beautiful! What a creative eye to come up with that. Much better then taking it to the dump!
