How to Build Custom Composite Benches (DIY)

Introduction

We all want to sit back and enjoy the best weather in our backyards. That’s why we chose to build this custom-fit bench with composite decking. No need to spend precious summer hours keeping up its appearance — there will be no sanding, re-staining or replacing warped or splintered wood.

We built our bench to fit against an angled wall and between two gabion walls, but you can modify the plans to fit your own space. We designed the bench to have waterfall sides to hide the cut ends, but you could change this detail to simplify it further.

The bench can be built in just a couple of days, and the composite decking has the beautiful look of hardwood — without the hassles.

These benches are built against this angled block wall and in between two gabion structures. But they can be easily modified to fit your own space and to stand alone. Our surface was level, so all we needed to do was compact it with a tamper before we began.
