Redwood Garden Bench
Classic redwood garden bench with angled back, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and weather-resistant finish—perfect for patios, decks, or gardens.
Bring timeless elegance and lasting durability to your outdoor space with this beautifully crafted redwood garden bench. Featuring a traditional English design, this bench offers both visual charm and rugged construction—perfect for gardens, patios, porches, or decks.
Each back slat is securely mortised into the frame without the need for drilling or chiseling, thanks to a clever construction technique that ensures perfectly aligned joints. The backrest is angled for comfort, and the thick 2½? legs and pinned mortise-and-tenon joinery provide incredible strength. Brass screws, hidden beneath redwood plugs, add weatherproof durability without sacrificing style.
Designed to endure the elements, this bench uses decay-resistant redwood and a shop-mixed outdoor finish combining spar varnish and tung oil for long-term protection and a subtle sheen. The plan also includes guidance for building a matching redwood armchair, letting you create a complete, cohesive set of outdoor furniture.
