    Will it fit snugly in a jiffy bag? Want one!

    Looks very good wood and great wide slats and solid legs - this would cost the earth here! You have a gem of a hubby there Winnie!

    Fab bench! Tres, tres bien!

    Very nice bench indeed. If you dont mind me asking, what was the total cost of the materials? And if you could share the website :D

    ps, the bench looks better then the ones in the shop. Maybe he should start selling them, i know they would make a nice profit

    Thanks to everyone! The bench is now in-situ and painted up! Total cost of materials was approx 90euros ... 8 decking boards, 3 x (85x85x1.8m) posts and a bunch of screws .... The website is: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/mendocinobench

    Phew, now deserve a pint ... which as you say PF ... can easily sit on the arm, alongside a tin of Pringles!!!

    With the leftover pieces of wood he made a table too ....
