Adirondack Garden Bench

Huletts Landing, NY (Lake George)

This bench is a follow up to a number of more conventional Adirondack chairs. Wife found the chairs hard to get out of – as do others. So basically using the same rough carpentry, I designed and built this bench using 5/4 Western Red Cedar Decking, and a bit of 2×4 clear WRC.

The legs and back slat supports use the 2×4 – everything else is 5/4. ‘Joinery’ is screws and carriage bolts.

Seat and back have a gentle curve – easily done on bandsaw and spindle sander. The back was originally designed for multiple positions – like a Morris Chair – but wife said she wanted it fixed – so the support bar behind the back is fixed at the angle she preferred. Large Adk arms great for drinks and snacks..

Now she wants 2 more..:>)
