Completion Time : 1 day

A comfy bench built around a tree in the centre of the garden is the best way to enjoy a natural shade.

All made from cedar, the bench is 70" in diameter and 36" in height. This project is for do-it-yourselfers experienced in using cutting tools. That’s because each part has to be cut at a different angle, and each angle is calculated very precisely. Once the parts have been cut, the bench is easy to assemble.

Cedar wood

Cedar is a naturally weather-resistant wood and so does not need to be specially treated or painted. But there’s nothing to prevent you from staining it to go with the decor – this will not detract from its beauty.
