In the second picture, you are using 2"x8" lumber for horizontal top and seats! How?

They are all 2x4's. We love ours, we made the table 8 ft. long and the benches 5 ft.

No. Use 2"X4"X8' or 6' lumber. Be selective in the grade of lumber you choose. I do not recommend framing or construction grades. I have made several of these for my married children and made that mistake only once. I had to rebuild that one after less than a year. Also, finish with a spar or marine varnish, or better, for the best results. Three coats minimum.

the second picture is of a hopkins bench, 17 inches high. since a two 2x4's are the same width as a 2 x 8 and the boards are screwed in from the underside, i can see how it could work. i used 2x4's but i can see how a 2x8 might work.

I used cedar 2x2s. Which was more expensive but the wood will last longer. I used decking screws which kind of drill a hole as it gets screwed in. I had no cracking when using this combination.

I did but laid down plywood on top. HD or Lowe's will cut it down to size for you for free if you buy 2 pieces.

The parts (two each) are attached to the ends of a 12 x 2 which allows you to make the ramps any length you need/want. Wood will get slippery when wet.

There are brackets (2 top, 2 bottom) that are screwed into place (Phillips screwdriver needed) to secure the desired width. There are pre-drilled holes at regular intervals along the bottom of each rail (top & bottom) to suggest placement of brackets. It's easy to do.

Have to agree with the other 2 responses. You might want to hire a handy-man or get someone to help you put it together.

I used regular pine 2 x 4, but I'm sure you can use any type of wood you want as long as it is 2x4. I painted the legs black with spray paint used for plastics and stained the wood a mohagany color and use the benches around my cabin table

I used to use a large tree, but, I suppose the traditional target would be two inch thick boards, held together by supports in the rear. I have seen them mounted to a triangle support, with a leg from the top to keep it upright. Using 2"x6" boards, you can make it any size you want.

I just installed a 7 panel in a 8 deep(camper to edge of deck) x 12 long space(length of camper). I don't see how an 8 could work unless I am missing something. If you are 12 wide there is no way an 8 would work, it would be too wide.

I had to get a long 2X4, had to replace the top polls. I cut a few pieces in different lengths and then I drilled holes and put screws with bolts. Be sure to get the right size screws so that it doesn't punch threw to long. Some places I was able to just use long nails. I hope I was able to help. I pretty much had to put new polls in for extra support. Although I did have to elimanite one shelf. I wish there was a way that I can send you a picture of mine. If you were to replace the polls you can get rope and wrap it around the 2X4.

that would work. for me when I bought 2x of these, they did not work.....good thing is when and if you buy, ensure it is fullfiled by Amazon...this way if it does not work the way you want, u can return it....I ended up hiring a person who made a custom wood structure in my garage and that works great...

There is 3 pieces of wood as a framed base. If u dont want then dont install them when u assemble. Simple!

The white packet is glue for the wood dowels.The rails ARE asymmetrical, but so is the seat, one goes in the front the other goes in the back, get it right and everything works perfectly. I put 3 together all were wonderful. Craig r.

Make them using the supplied template. I suggest a good plywood for strength and rigidity.

sounds like you are covering a box with these measurements! I would use the love-seat cover.

The item for sale is just the black brackets. You supply the lumber (2x4 boards) and cut to whatever size you want. I made mine 31" tall and 36" deep, to accommodate my height comfort and to hold a 4x8 sheet of plywood. I am pleased with how sturdy my new sawhorses are. I used the screws that came with the brackets, and found them to be strong screws.

Two containers, one linear for the rails and the other square. I would label both as large.
