What happens here
Construct built-in seating benches and planters using the composite deck boards and additional framing. The video shows a fire pit being integrated into one of the bench/planter structures. A base for the fire pit is built with concrete blocks, which will later be covered with stone veneer. Install lighting in the steps and along the seating areas for ambiance and safety.
Goal: Create integrated seating, planters, and the structural base for a fire pit.
