DIY Plan for building the Outdoor Bench Sundholmen. Classic design with straight lines and a seat made of two boards. Easy difficulty level and approximately one day’s building time. Includes drawing, material list, as well as cutting and assembly instructions.
DIY Plan for building the Outdoor Bench Sundholmen. This classic bench with straight lines has a timeless, stripped-down construction that feels natural on the patio, terrace, or in the garden. Two boards form the seat and rest on stable pairs of legs that are connected by a longitudinal beam for high stiffness and a secure seating feel. The expression is clean and functional with proportions that make the bench work both standalone and together with a table. The shape is close to modern Scandinavian simplicity, without unnecessary details, making the model easy to place in many environments.
The area of use is broad: the bench provides extra seating for outdoor meals, serves as a flexible piece of furniture when guests arrive, and fits just as well along a house wall for a quick coffee break. The construction is planned for efficient building from standard dimensions, so that all steps can be carried out without special solutions.
The tools needed are common basic tools such as a saw, drill/screwdriver, measuring tape, square, and clamps. The approximate time required is about a day for a normally handy builder, including cutting, drilling, and assembly. The difficulty level is Easy, making the project well-suited even as a first furniture build.
The DIY Plan includes a complete material list, cutting and sawing instructions, as well as assembly steps. You also receive a clear drawing that shows all measurements and placements, so that each cut and screw driving is correct right away. When the bench is finished, you will have a stable and stylish piece of furniture that maintains its shape over time and can be adjusted in length if you want to match other outdoor furniture.

Solid benk. God beskrivelse – gikk heilt fint å bruke norske mål på materiale!

Enkel og rask benk å bygge med denne oppskriften. Men hadde vært veldig bra om det var mulig å laste ned oppskrifter med norske mål på materialene.
Skulle jeg laget benken (og Sundholmen Utebord) igjen, så hadde jeg nok regnet om oppskriften til litt tynnere materialstørrelser. Dette er i overkant massivt og tungt å håndtere. Men det ble veldig fint.
