What happens here

After the concrete base has cured, construct the wooden frames for the built-in benches using lumber. These frames will sit on top of the concrete base. Once the frames are complete, clad them with composite decking boards. Measure, cut, and secure the composite boards to the wooden frames to form the finished seating surfaces and sides of the benches. This will integrate the benches seamlessly with the overall patio design.

Goal: Build and finish the built-in benches for functional seating

Tools and materials

Composite Decking — Cladding the bench frames
Drill — Assembling frames and securing decking
Lumber Pro Wood — Framing the benches
