Very nice!

I'm looking to build something very similar for my backyard. I don't suppose you have any plans or tips that you would be willing to share??

I like the way you split the benches so you don't have to step-over the bench to sit down or get up. Was that part of the original, or did you modify that part? I'd imagine it would have to be "beefed-up" a bit, I'm not the smallest of all individuals....

Maybe Mikie can set you up with a set. Here are the links to a couple. first is a pay for plan and second is free. http://www.bbcwood.com/plans.htm http://hgtv.ca/tv/TBC_project_plans/project_016.asp

I used a plan but the guy wanted to modifield it because the seats sit to far back from the top. I don't like the plan I used it was not clear enought I think.I used the plan from Winfield collection no yf8-2 Mikie
