I made the bench and was very happy with the final product, however i felt there was a little too much side to side movement so I put a 1/4 backing of plywood on the back to reduce the movement. Now the grand kids can be more rough with it

Hmm… That’s really tough to say. My gut says you would probably be fine. Mine is definitely solid. I would imagine if I added 6″ to each end it would be okay. Sorry I have no solid answer for you on that. You may just have have to do a little trial and error…

Hi, great looking bench. If I was to build a 5 foot long bench could I do it the same way or should I put a center support piece in?
Thanks.

Hey Richard, I actually bought the book I talk about above. It’s pretty cheap on Amazon, It has the full plans with it. I just did a Google search though and found they actually show a snippet of the book at Google books. This should give you everything you would ever want to know about it.

In reply to Mary Johnson. Hi Mary, yep the seats slats are 48" long. The full "actual" seat slat measurements are 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 48"

I love this bench, I think it could be something me and my husband could make. but I was wondering what your measurements on the boards? looks like the bench is 4′ maybe?
