If so, whats a good short romantic quote to put on the plaque?? Nothing too soppy, they arent like that. I just think it would be so good for them to be sittign there in ten years or whatever and have a nice quote to read, and remember their wedding.

If the couple has a place to put it (which I'm sure they do or you wouldn't have even taught of the bench) and are people who like to sit in the yard, than go for it. Every yard needs a nice bench.

Listed below are a few sites that have short love quotes. Pick one that is special to you that you think the couple would love to look at for the rest of their lives. You also might want to think about including their names and wedding date on the plaque.

But my favorite quote has to be "Where there is love there is life." said by Gandhi. I feel it fits the theme of outdoor life, flowers in bloom, love and the start of a new step relationship.

A garden bench using the AB Courtyard Collection by Allan Block is a simple way to add beautiful accents and seating to any landscape. You can ...

No back, just a bench to sit on. The seat is part of a recycled futon frame and a cushion. It just needs legs.
I tried stacking block columns, but they're not the right size, and the seat rocks and isn't steady. I need to attach seat to base.

you will need to build a frame with 2x4 s, measure the seat, this is the size your fram will be,screw 4 2x4 s togather to form a rectangle, then add 4 legs (how ever tall you want it to be) then add a2x2 brace in between each leg ( half way between seat & floor) paint it or stain & you can sit & rest

My husband and I just moved into a new home and the previous owners left a very nice wooden bench that I am planning to place alongside my garden. I would really love an outdoor seating area, but can't afford to purchase a new patio set. Does anyone out there have some creative ideas for building an outdoor table to go along with the bench?

Thanks!

yes...you could put together a table with a large garden urn with a sheet of tempered glass. This makes a nice "coffee table" for an informal seating area in your garden.

I have a very good friend who is extremely overweight. I think it is over 350 pounds (just to give you an idea). She is an absolutely lovely lady, and a very good friend, and my children are friends with hers, etc.
My only problem is that over the time I've known her, she has broken various items of my furniture, dining chairs, recliner armchair, outdoor seating benches, and also the passenger seat of my car twice.
I can't exactly tell her to stop visiting, or put her off, as she would guess there was a reason, does anybody have ANY suggestions on what I can do to stop having to replace things all the time? All suggestions are welcome, but serious answers only please.
Also, just wanted to add, that as a friend I have thought of encouraging her to undertake a healthier lifestyle (ie, weight loss), but she is perfectly happy with herself (as she should be), so that wouldn't be a good idea. Thanks.

What a difficult problem! This actually happened with my Dad many years ago, at a time he was quite overweight. My sister and her hubby had just bought a new dining setting and Dad sat in one of the chairs and it just collapsed under his weight.

We all teased him a little (not too much because fat people have feelings too!), but what my sis did was go and buy one very good strong plastic chair and whenever Dad came to visit, that is where he was seated. She put a cushion on it etc, and told him that for his own comfort and safety, that was the chair he was to use.

She bought it from a commercial supplier of outdoor furniture, so it was really tough and after that they never had any problems.

As it was plastic and therefore lightweight, Dad would simply move the chair from room to room wherever he went, and bring it to the tv room, the dining table, wherever.

True, it did not match her other furniture, but when guests (not Dad) were there, she could simply put it outside, as it would not matter if it got wet, etc.

As far as your car goes, Dad had to have a special seat installed in his car to carry his weight. It was very expensive, so maybe you should just use her car or a taxi if you go anywhere?

Best wishes and good luck, your friend is fortunate to have a thoughtful friend such as you :-)

We are located in West Lothian, Scotland.
We would like to build an outdoor classroom in our school grounds and thought that treetrunk becnk seats would be a great idea. Only trouble is I have no idea where we could find such a thing. Any help would be most appriciated.

You could try calling your local forestry commission office and ask where they may be cutting and ask if it would be possible for you to buy and or get scraps from them. Or if you have a local cabinet maker...they may be able to help.
