    Did you design it yourself?

    Thanks for all your kind comments! Hubby is grinning like a Cheshire Cat now .... No he didn't design it himself if you're interested I'll find the web address for the design. He made it out of decking ... just turned the decking over to the 'flat' side (if that makes sense)! He's now looking at making a chair. Well ... it keeps him out of trouble ..... You can also see the wheelbarrow he made in the Container section of this EXCELLENT forum!!! Such a lovely bunch of folk on here ... so glad I stopped by ..........

    I do like that bench, Winnie, give your Hubby a pat on the back from me.

    One like that would look nice at the far end of our pond as our old backless one is now in the firewood stack.

    Good job Winnie nice to know that your hubby is good with his hands!

    Lol Kathy my Bob will be allowed to 'sit this one out' as we have more than enough seats to sit our bums on around the garden..... good job too otherwise the whip would have had to come out again if I wanted another seat! lol:D Hel.xxx.

    Winnie, just caught up with your bench (it was running fast:) ) What i really loved about it was the arms. A lot of benches have those thin arms that are really uncomfortable on our human arms.

    good job you don't live too close to us otherwise i think your hubby would be getting a few orders in!!!

    cheers
