A beautiful bench with your own hands. From simple solutions to artistic delights - how to paint a shop or bench. Bench without back

Perhaps, only a classic garden does without benches, except for potatoes or cucumbers, there should be nothing in the garden. But even a small garden can hardly be imagined without benches. The garden is still intended for relaxation and admiring nature, and standing up to do this is not very convenient. Currently, the choice of such structures is quite large, wooden and metal garden benches are especially popular.

Types of garden benches

Regardless of the design and size, the purpose of any bench remains the same - it should give a person the opportunity to sit down, relax and slowly enjoy the view of a cozy garden. Shops can be classified according to several criteria, for example, by the material from which they are made and by design.

Materials for making garden benches

There are several popular materials:

plastic - the advantages of benches made of this material include resistance to climatic influences, low weight and a relatively low price. On sale there are options for folding structures, it is convenient to take them with you during periodic trips to the country;

wood - do-it-yourself garden benches are usually made from this material. The tree looks great on the garden plot, and indeed it is considered a classic, and the classic is always in price;

Note!
Wood, even with protective coatings, is much less resistant to, for example, moisture and insects than plastic, stone or metal.
So the wooden ones will fail first.

metal - as for metal products, there are 2 options: home-made benches from a profile pipeline or forged ones. It is impossible to make forged benches from scratch without having blacksmithing skills, the maximum that can be done is to buy ready-made forged sidewalls and then assemble the bench yourself;

stone garden benches- record holders in terms of durability. Under the bench, you can adapt 1-2 large boulders, or use purchased marble and sidewalls, the whole question is in the price and in the general style of the design of the site;

concrete - the sidewalls can be cast from concrete, and a concrete slab will act as a seat;
combined options- the most common type is a combination of a metal frame and wooden planks (back and seat). There are options for combining stone and wood.

Note!
The use of wood makes the bench more comfortable.
In cold weather, it is not pleasant to sit on ice metal or stone; from this point of view, wood is preferable, because its thermal conductivity is much lower.

Garden bench design options

At first glance, there is nothing complicated in the design of the bench - 4 legs, a seat and a back.

But there are also more complex designs:

a bench without a back is the simplest option, a dubious option in terms of comfort, because you won’t be able to lean back and relax;
garden bench with a back - adding a back brings the comfort of relaxation to a new level;

bench with a table - with this option, a pair is installed on one base. This design is optimal for communication in nature;
bench with a canopy - can be considered as an analogue of a mini-arbor. However, protection from slanting rains is weak, so this design should not be considered as a complete replacement for the gazebo;

benches created in an artistic style, the focus in this case is on the appearance. Instead of standard sidewalls, for example, figurines of fairy-tale creatures, etc. can be used.

If the bench in your garden is planned not in the form of a large stone or a fallen tree trunk, then you will have to spend a little time thinking about the design and calculating the required number of building materials. A properly drawn up drawing is the main basis of a good shop.

Drawings of garden benches made of wood, and of any other material, must necessarily contain not only a general image of the structure, but also the detailed dimensions of the main elements.

wooden bench

There are several manufacturing options:

use large tree trunks as the main elements. Half of such a trunk may well lie on the ground and, due to its large thickness, act simultaneously as a seat;

just dig a couple of posts (or concrete) and use them as the basis of the structure;
bar construction is the most common option. It makes sense to consider an example of such a construction in more detail.

As for the sizes, everyone selects them based on their requirements for the shop, but you can focus on the following values:

in height, the back most often does not exceed 50 cm;
the height of the bench, that is, the distance from the surface of the earth to the surface of the seat, is also taken approximately equal to 50 cm;
the angle of the backrest is important, it can be taken in the range of 15 - 30ᵒ.

Note!
The price of the bench will not change from this, and the photo comfort level can be seriously affected.
If the back is at a right angle to the seat, then the back will be constantly tense and you can forget about rest.

The design of a typical wooden bench looks something like this:

the sidewalls are assembled from wide beams (as a rule, the sidewalls are connected crosswise with a selection of grooves at the junction). That part of the cross, which will also be the basis for the backrest, is made longer by the height of the backrest;

if the width of the bench exceeds 2.0 m, then to ensure rigidity, the same structure as on the sides must be placed in the center, otherwise the seat will strongly sag under the weight of a person;

in one piece, the sidewalls are connected by square bars. The load on them will be small, so you can use a small section;
after that, garden benches and benches are sheathed with wooden planks. It is not necessary to make the sheathing solid; gaps of 1-2 cm can be made between individual planks;
at the final stage, it remains only to cover the tree with protective compounds.

Metal and combined benches

Pure metal structures are not so common. The fact is that the weight of such a design turns out to be quite large, and the cost of the product increases. Therefore, the seat and back are usually made of wood.

Combined options can be made by hand, we are talking mainly about structures using a profile pipeline.

All work comes down to a few points:

the side parts of the frame are made of pipes. The best option can be considered the one in which the entire sidewall is made of one pipe. Of course, a welded joint can also be used, but this complicates the work;

Note!
A homemade garden bench made of wood and metal will most likely require pipe bending.
For this, either a pipe bender is used, or other methods (for example, filling the pipeline with sand) and subsequent manual bending.

when sheathing the frame with wooden planks, a bolted connection is used.

In the case of forged structures, everything is much simpler - forged parts are bought, and the gardener only has to pick up a suitable tree and sheathe a metal frame with it.

stone benches

When it comes to how to make a garden bench out of stone or concrete, it all depends on the overall style of the future design.

There are several options:

a small shop can be made even from small stones. In this case, oblong boulders are used for supports, and flat stones for the seat. Most often, such designs do without a back;

Note!
It is allowed to use a little mortar in such designs so that the connection between the supports and the seat is more durable and reliable.
The solution should not be visible.

the bench looks original in which both posts are made of masonry (using natural stone), and a heavy marble slab is simply laid on top. It is also possible, when laying the supports, to concrete the frame for the back in them, and make the back itself forged.

Unusual design

In a separate category, author's benches should be singled out; it would be more accurate to call them a work of art than a simple device for relaxing. As for the material, the use of wood gives the greatest scope for creativity, of course, in this case, detailed drawings of benches for the garden are not needed, you can only estimate the overall dimensions of the structure.

The following options deserve attention:

ring bench - a common design, but arranged around a tree, in place of the usual seat, an emerald green lawn looks unusual;
a bench can be arranged between 2 flower beds;
a bench looks curious, arranged, for example, in the mouth of an animal;
stone articles can be decorated on both sides with graceful figurines;
you can make a bench in the form of a huge bunch of bamboo, in the central part of which there is a cutout for sitting.

In conclusion

Garden benches are an excellent testing ground for creativity. Despite the abundance of standard designs, you can always stand out and come up with your own shop design. Of course, the flight of thought should not go to the detriment of comfort. The information provided will help you navigate the mass of standard benches and offers several unusual options.

Once a shop was the most important attribute of a village hut, a monastery refectory, an old garden. Today, benches and benches are installed wherever it is necessary to organize a non-bulky, but comfortable resting place. And if the owner of the site knows how to paint a bench or a bench correctly, this furniture will become a wonderful design element and will serve for many years without being afraid of precipitation, frost and sunlight.

Painting garden furniture is an essential part of caring for it.

Garden benches are most often made of wood, metal, as well as their combinations. They are sensitive to atmospheric moisture, solar radiation, insect damage and require protection from negative factors in the form of periodic staining and antiseptic treatment.

Choice of paint materials

The proposed range of paints and varnishes (LKM) is quite extensive, so it is not easy to make a choice. Many frost-resistant and moisture-resistant varnishes and enamels for outdoor use are suitable:

alkyd enamels (for example, PF-115, Miranol);
water-based enamels (Belinka Exterier Email);
textural (glazing) compositions (Aquatex);
oils for wood (Woodex Wood Oil);
yacht varnish;
anticorrosive paints for metal (Stainless steel).

A bright bench looks great among plain greenery

Among the whole variety of coatings, you can choose those that can be used for painting both wooden and metal parts - for example, PF-115 enamel. Do not forget that wooden parts require antiseptic treatment before painting, and take care of acquiring the appropriate composition.

How to paint a bench yourself

Having picked up the necessary materials, you can begin the process of painting the shop.

PAINTED OR PAINTED - WHICH IS CORRECT?

Obviously, it makes sense to figure out how to paint a wooden bench with metal supports.

First you need to make a few preparatory operations:

disassemble the shop into parts, remove rusty fasteners;
sand the wooden parts, remove sanding dust;
treat wooden elements with an antiseptic, let dry;
remove paint, rust from metal parts with a wire brush;
grind and degrease the metal elements with a solvent.

After staining, this bench will become unrecognizable

After completing these steps, you can proceed directly to painting:

having mixed the paint well, paint over one side of the boards with a brush;
turn the dried parts over and paint the second side;
after drying, sand the painted surfaces with sandpaper, remove dust;
apply 2 coats of paint to the boards;
paint metal parts using anti-corrosion paint.

When all the painted parts are dry, it remains to assemble the bench by installing new fasteners.

Examples of painting benches

In preparation for painting, you should examine the place where the bench will be located and make sure that its design and the chosen color will be in harmony with the overall design of the territory:

if the shop is located next to a flower bed or other bright elements, a monochromatic color in soft colors is desirable;
discreet colors are also suitable for original design shops;
in shady places, a brightly colored bench or bench decorated using decoupage technique would be appropriate.

If you are seriously thinking about how to paint a shop beautifully, the photos below will give you some hints.

Features of painting benches on playgrounds

Various benches are an indispensable part of equipping children's playgrounds.

Although the kids have an “eternal runner and jumper” inside, they still need a short rest from time to time in order to continue their dynamic games later.

It happens that parents are involved in the improvement of the territory of kindergartens where their children are brought up. Then, together with the educators, you have to decide how to paint a bench or a gazebo on the site.

The main difference between children's shops (not counting the size) is their playful orientation and certainly bright, cheerful coloring. Of course, for painting in this case, you should choose environmentally friendly varnishes and paints. It is desirable that the selected paint and varnish materials also have good wear resistance.

Examples of decorative finishes for children's benches are in the photographs below.

Horse-fire can also serve as a bench

It is easy to see that painting benches and benches is an exciting and not so difficult task. But in view of the huge range of paints and varnishes, when choosing them, it is advisable to get the opinion of a specialist.

You can familiarize yourself with the process of painting country furniture by watching a short video.

View Full Version: HELP! Sat on a painted bench

off - we were more fortunate, but while we were sitting on one of these park benches, we watched the picture - two girls, after sitting, discovered these same stripes. Luckily we got it right.)

I was walking in the park with a child, the child fell asleep, I decided to sit on a bench. And when I got up, it turned out that the bench had been painted. All jeans (just bought a week ago) have white stripes on the back.
How do I get paint out of jeans? I tried with acetone, but the paint peels off the jeans.

You can try a solvent, but most likely the jeans are damaged.

People wrote about Antipyatin soap that it also removes paint stains, read http://www.2006-2009.littleone.ru/showthread.php?t=188044

White spirit should go away.

Well, the jacket (raincoat fabric) was torn off with ordinary vodka. There are stains left, I think the washing machine will fix everything. But it didn’t work with jeans ... Probably, I’ll try it with soap first.

Thanks for the advice! :flower:

Soap doesn't seem to work. Whitesprit, as you were rightly told, should be wiped off.

It also costs a penny. Only then it will have to be weathered for a couple more days.

my girlfriend's mother once washed her jacket all covered in oil paint with vegetable oil and coarse table salt. smeared the stains with oil, poured salt and rubbed. Then to the laundry. Everything has gone without a trace.

If you still need these jeans, advice - do not suffer, take them to a dry cleaner, they will clean everything wonderfully there (I have been in your situation 2 times - I know what I'm saying)

And I, too, a couple of years ago, sat on the side of a painted sandbox and wiped the paint off my sweatpants with kerosene. Nothing helped, and because. there was nothing to lose, the pants were spoiled anyway, then I tried kerosene. Everything went off easily. True smell ... But quickly weathered.

US is imported, does not stink at all. I wiped off the black paint from Reima ..

As a rule, benches are painted with oil paint, so you can start rubbing with vegetable oil (like dissolves in like), then you really need to wash it. Of the solvents - white spirit, carbon tetrachloride (look for familiar chemists, if any).

Bench paint

Usually benches are an aesthetic addition to a garden or a summer cottage. The bench can stand on the lawn, near the flower bed, not far from the fence or in the shade so that you can hide from the hot sun. Such a bench is called a garden bench. A bench made of natural wood looks beautiful in the garden. But you need to constantly look after her, because she is in direct contact with the external environment.

In order to extend the life of the bench, it must be periodically repainted. It is worth painting garden benches with special paints for outdoor use. It will be more effective to protect a wooden coating if it is treated with an antiseptic before applying paint.

The process of staining the bench is quite laborious, and requires preliminary preparation. So, the bench needs to be cleaned of dirt, dust and previous paint (if it has already been painted before). Further, the bench can be covered with drying oil. Instead of drying oil, various impregnations for outdoor work can be used. Thus, it is possible to increase the protective functions and make the wooden bench more resistant to external mechanical and weather influences. An important factor when choosing paint for a wooden bench is the type of wood.

Also, before painting the bench, you should choose the right type of paint, as well as the color that will look most harmoniously with the overall interior of the estate. Benches made of wood look beautiful, aesthetically pleasing and rich, which do not hide the color and texture of the wood. To achieve this result, various transparent and translucent impregnations are used that do not modify the structural pattern of wood.

If, nevertheless, there is a desire to make the bench colored, then most often they are painted in white, green and blue. White color will stand out sharply against the background of green trees, flowers and bushes. Therefore, the painted lines of the bench should be perfect. It has such a color scheme and its drawbacks. For example, on white benches, dirt after rain is very noticeable. Nevertheless, the white benches on the backyard look very impressive, in a special way.

One of the common shades for park and garden benches is a green tint. Such benches harmoniously fit into any composition of the garden. Many site owners prefer a bright green color for decorating a wooden bench, on the contrary, experts recommend painting them dark green. Blue benches also look very harmonious in the garden. They are combined with the sky and attract the attention of others.

From simple solutions to artistic delights - how to paint a shop or bench

As a bright accent, a red wooden bench will look good against the background of greenery. It will become the highlight of the estate. Perfect for an oriental-style garden and will be combined with lanterns, a bridge and other oriental accessories of the same color shade.

It is undesirable to paint wooden benches with rhombuses and stripes of different color tones. Such a bench will look ridiculous, and will only spoil the overall impression of the garden.

I plan wooden fences on the site, as well as a gazebo and a terrace.
What types of wood are resistant to such use. What can you say about alder?
How to cover wooden products so that they do not peel off and crack from rain and frost?

In the construction of arbors, coniferous trees are mainly used. You can take larch or oak - more expensive species, but the strength and service life of such arbors will be a cut above. You can cover the finished product with high-quality decorative and protective impregnation Pinotex Focus.

Alder has a beautiful color and structure of fibers, however, like birch, it is not used for products exposed to the environment. spoils very quickly. Of the budget wood species, this is, of course, pine and spruce. If the budget allows, pay attention to ash. Wood protection must be carried out with different types of products: from insects, from fungi and mold, and of course from moisture. In any case, when choosing paint and varnish products, give preference to acrylic materials.

In any case, no matter what you build a gazebo from, no matter what you cover it with later, there is always the option of planting some kind of climbing plant. Grapes, ivy and others like them. As a rule, this is exactly what happens, first they built a gazebo and the idea arises to decorate it. Therefore, you can get by with a budget option for building a gazebo.

you need to use Remmers impregnations and paints, excellent protection for wood.

For a gazebo, conifers are better, but if there are remains of a tree, you can use any. Antiseptic and staining will protect the tree from damage. You will update the paint and the gazebo will last longer. Make drainage so that water does not collect under the floor and you can provide for its replacement without connecting to the walls. If the floor deteriorates faster, it will be easier to replace.

The best protection for wood is drying oil, natural is better, but combined (oxol) is also possible. For maximum effect, it must be heated to 50 - 60 C. If the first layer is well and quickly absorbed, apply the second. After that, cover with oil (alkyd) varnish.

First, a tree that will be constantly moistened outdoors should be coated with a long-term antiseptic, for example, Tikkurila Valti Pohjuste primer, and then apply two layers of Tikkurila Valtti Color glazing antiseptic.

What is the best way to paint a garden bench?

Garden benches need to be painted or impregnated with protective compounds to extend their service life.

To do this, you can use various oil paints, enamels, varnishes, drying oil. But in order to extend the life of the bench, before painting, it is necessary to treat the wooden product with an antiseptic, and then cover it with a layer of paint intended for wooden products or weather-resistant varnish.

You can use a special hydrophobic impregnation as a protective layer, which has a water-repellent property. In addition, such impregnations help to preserve the structure of the tree, which remains visible under the protective layer.

What is the correct spelling of "dyed" or "dyed"?

Such products look very beautiful and natural.

Before painting a garden bench, take a look around and look at the overall design of the garden or area where it stands. Then we select the material for staining. Frost-resistant oil paints or enamels are suitable here. You can just polish the bench. But before all this, treat the bench with an antiseptic, then it will last longer. Or you can just walk with an antiseptic, which can be selected by color. In my opinion, this is a more modern approach to painting a bench.

Painting garden furniture is an essential part of caring for it.

You can familiarize yourself with the process of painting country furniture by watching a short video.

And here you can see how to decorate a country bench with decoupage.

The bench is functional and allows you to complement the arrangement of the garden. It is usually not used for classic types of vegetable gardens, since there is no need for it.

On this site you can see only beds and growing potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and other useful crops. And when it comes to a garden, albeit not a particularly extensive one, then it becomes clear that it is difficult to organize it qualitatively without the use of benches.

Since the garden is created for other purposes, it is necessary for relaxation and merging with the natural atmosphere.

Modern designers have learned to create different versions of designs for such purposes. However, wooden and metal benches are considered the most popular.

Types of benches for use in the garden

Any chosen option for the design of a bench or its size should serve one purpose - the formation of a place for a person to relax. Its shape suggests the possibility of comfortable placement for a long time.

Classification of such products can occur on the basis of a number of features. Usually they are associated with the type of material used to assemble the bench.

What materials are most commonly used?

In fact, there are a lot of them, however, you can dwell on the most popular of them. Most often used:

Plastic, since the benches created on its basis are resistant to environmental influences. They offer reduced weight and an attractive price. The market offers folding structures formed by these materials, they are very convenient for moments of stay in the country;

The tree is most often used to create homemade types of benches. It fits perfectly into the interior of any garden plot. Designers refer this material to the classic types that remain in fashion;

Important: Wood has a reduced resistance to moisture, insects compared to plastic, stone products or metal modifications. Because of this, the period of use of a wooden bench will turn out to be the smallest among other options.

Metal allows you to create benches with your own hands based on the use of profile pipelines. However, forged versions based on this material are more commonly used.

The independent creation of such variations is virtually impossible, since this requires blacksmithing skills. Because of this, it is possible to use only purchased forged parts of the sidewalls for self-assembly of a bench from them;

The stone differs in the level of durability. Other materials can not be compared with them for the duration of use. A shop can be formed from several large boulders or purchased marble and side parts. In this case, it is necessary to build on the price of the product and its combination with the general style of the suburban area.

How to create a bench for long-term use?

To do this, you can use a combination of different elements or fundamental material. There are several options to achieve this goal:

Concrete will help to pour durable side parts, and a slab formed on its basis can be used for the seat;

The combination of materials is considered a good option, and it is often used to create a bench in the garden. Created by combining a metal frame and wood slats respectively to create a back and seat. And it is also acceptable to combine options for benches made of stone and wooden elements.

Application of the author's design to create a bench

Usually only this direction gives rise to true works of art, it is already difficult to consider them a classic place to relax. For the most part, wood is used for this. Some well-known variations of author's works can be distinguished:

The ring version of the form is created in the form of a conventional structure, however, framing a living tree;
A bench created in the distance between two flower beds;
A bench designed on the basis of the space to graze a large animal;
With the addition of stone statues on both sides of the bench;
A bench based on a bamboo compound with a seating cutout in its central part.

It is worth recalling that the process of creating a garden bench will allow you to go into a creative flight of fancy. This should not interfere with existing designs, since you can still come up with something original.

The information obtained with the help of this article helps to familiarize yourself with the various options and will give you some non-standard approaches.

Such a bench will serve both in the house, and in the kitchen, and in the yard. At the same time, it does not require large expenditures of materials, and it is very easy to manufacture.

If you need a large bench, and you do not plan to move it from place to place often, then this option is for you. This spacious bench is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. It is made of thick timber, so it can easily support three or four adult riders.

It's not hard to build either. First you need to make these legs.

Then the legs are fastened with longitudinal bars (two at the top and one at the bottom), and a solid massive frame is obtained.

Using such a device, you can drill holes and hide the fasteners on the inner surfaces of the bench parts so that the self-tapping screws do not spoil the look of the product. But if you don’t have one, then you can still make such a shop by attaching the parts in the usual way.

It remains only to assemble the top and attach it to the frame.

Wooden bench without a single nail

And here is an example of a very beautiful and original bench, in which there is not a single nail or self-tapping screw.

It is made very simply, although it requires some special tools. First, all elements are cut.

And then, with the help of clamps and templates, the parts are glued in a checkerboard pattern.

You will need a lot of clamps, including several large ones, so this project is only suitable for those who have an impressive set of carpentry tools.
