A step by step tutorial on how to build a floating bench for any space in the home.
Build a bench seat attached to wall.
If the bench and sides are being painted birch face plywood presents a smooth finish.
With all four sides attached to the inside framing the rectangular box should be taking shape.
Use a clamp to hold the seat boards in place or have your helper stand on the bench our preferred method and drive screws into the bottom of the seat from underneath the top of the brackets where they will be less visible.
Screw the sides into 2x4 framing.
Kidding maybe but seriously when i set out to do this project i d thought it 100 times through.
Attach the structure to the 2 by 4 mounted on the wall.
Just ask my neighbor she probably sees me standing and staring at them daily through our front window.
After finishing our basement i finally had a small space to create a mudroom.
Are you looking for a way to add seating to a room.
The desired bench height is created by the dimensions of the bench sides.
The front of the 66 inch plank needs to be flush with the ends of the 18 inch wood planks.
The window bench sides are made of 3 4 plywood.
My solution was a wall mounted bench.
This makes a c shape.
Wall hung benches are a great addition to homes and other buildings where space is at a premium.
You should now have a basic box mounted to the wall.
Now that you wall mounted bench is in place add your desired molding to the edges and along the wall to cover the crack.
Seriously you guys i can t even believe how good these diy built ins with a bench seat turned out.
By attaching a wall mounted bench rather than using a freestanding model the carpenter can save.
Drive two 3 inch wood screws through the 18 inch planks into the 2 by 4 mounted on the wall.
