Step 19 - Placing the Top Boards
Place the scrolled 2"x6" cedar top boards into the notches of the 2"x8" beams. Align the front and back of all of the 2"x6" top boards to be equal. |
Step 20 - Attaching the Top Boards
From each side of the 2"x6" top board, toe-screw one 3" deck screw from the 2"x6" top board into the 2"x8" beam. Repeat this at each connection point. |
Step 21 - Bench Leg Frames
Cut 54 - 19" cedar 2"x4" boards. With 36 of the precut boards, create 18 "legs" by fastening two 19" cedar 2"x4" boards together using 2 1/2" deck screws. After all of the legs are fastened together, attach a 19" cedar 2"x4" board connecting two legs together using 2 1/2" deck screws. Place the sides of the leg with the screws showing to one consistent side. Make sure the double 2"x4" legs do not extend past the horizontal 2"x4" boards. |
Step 22 - Positioning the Leg Frames
Following the dimension in the plan, position the leg frames on the deck. Use a temporary board to align the frames 1 1/2" from the edge of the deck. Using a 2 1/2" trim head screw, toe-screw the leg frames into the top of the deck. Place one screw on each side of each leg. |
Step 23 - Bench Frame
Following the dimension in the plan, cut the front and back 2"x4" cedar boards of the bench frame. Attach to the installed leg frames using 2 1/2" trim head screws. |
