I needed a small project to get my mind off of this COVID stuff. I built this bench over the weekend at our farm. Never a better time to have a little project.

Yes, it's pressure treated pine. I may paint or stain it at some point. The wood is still really wet. Also, I did sand down all edges after the photos. As far as location, it might stay there for the time being; As you all know, rednecks should be able to shoot and piss off the front porch.

Kinda spindly looking. Should have gone with rebar reinforce poured concrete.

Of course it’s PTP, probably southern yellow pine, pressure treated. ACQ to boot , since CCA is no longer avail, unless for rafter/metal roofing applications

Nevermind, my crack was referenced to another thread. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz tired

What? No cup holders?.😄

Lol.... looks great!
I built one very similar just a few weeks ago.
It’s staged at a private range I set up with steel plates out to 500 yards.
Gonna be a fun summer 👍

Don't know about non-apocolyptic...
Seems like a great bench to defend against the zombie prairie dogs when they come.

I don't know about prairie dogs (wish it were). However, that porch has taken more than its fair share of groundhogs. I got tired of shooting from a rickety patio table. Thanks all for the kind words.

Is that where it sits or are you moving it somewhere else.
