In recreation areas in the country have to be the bench. Portable or stationary. In this article I will discuss how to arrange fixed bench (I have it around the fireplace - hearth).


A portable bench this size is not physically possible to manufacture. But I'm not a supporter of the constant rearrangement of furniture, even the villa. Benches in the country should be a lot and they are a variety of shapes and designs should be in all places where they should be the bench. So pay attention to the technology rather than on the shape and design.

                                                

                                                         





Thus, the arrangement works stationary benches begin by defining its size and its location. As the bench was planned "by the fire", and a fire burning in the fireplace, you must provide a comfortable sitting on it. What would sit and be comfortable, and there was neither hot nor cold. The following procedure was used. A man sitting on a chair puts his legs.

At the same time his toe shoe should be slightly below the level of the hearth. And yet still be left a bit of space to the very hearth. Between the normally seated person and a fireplace as well should fit people (after all, a long bench, someone will be in the middle). And he should be able to free passage.


It turned out that about 80 - 90 cm from the fireplace to the front edge of the benches. Width

benches almost standard, approx. 40 See especially the design shops is

that its leading edge decided to make a round, whatever it was combined with the round

form of the fireplace. A rear part had to be an octagon

as planned and construction of pergolas around the entire farm.

In each corner of the bench must be installed supports. As such

It was decided to use the L-shaped structure made of steel angle with a shelf 40-50

mm. and with an oblique focus. The roof rack is simple and clear from the pictures.

The upper part of the support exhibited horizontally at a height of about 35-40 cm

relative to the surface on which the sole is to be seated.


Should take into account the coating thickness of the bench so that the result would be a bench

was found to be approximately 45 cm in height with respect to "sex." L-shaped

support is chosen also because the vertical part will subsequently

guide to support the pergola and a back bench.

Therefore it is necessary to strictly maintain the right angle in the L-shaped support. The vertical part of the support is based on the penetration of its 40-50 cm relative to ground level. At the bottom is welded scrap rebar, which is the anchor element.


Likewise install additional support. Of course, it should be

track and the horizontal plane of the future bench. After setting the

supports, they poured the concrete after it has set, and supports color in the color of the future

bench. In the horizontal and vertical shelf supports drilled holes

fixing lag bench.
                                                            

                                                              










Lags for benches made of solid board (I used a batten 35 mm) or 35-40 mm bar. Front lag adjusted so that it would have the support of under it did not act. The back - a little past the middle of the support is still visible. Lags

fastened with screws for wood (with wide pitch) from the bottom, through the metal supports.


You must select the appropriate length screws that they do not protrude from the joists.




                                                          





                       
After installing the lag on them stuffed boards, which actually serve as a bench seat. The front of the boards is almost vsploshnuyu, and the rear part of them will fan out and the gap between the planks will be a few centimeters. Do not aspire to the front of the set is exactly right.

After packing all the boards was made a kind of compass, which center

Located in the center of the hearth and with his help was outlined arc on which the plates were a jigsaw sawdust in a perfect circle.










                                                
                                                           




This technology is convenient to construct the bench not long straight shape. This

shop can bend around any building or structure. Of course, the technology

it is much more complicated than a simple bench of straight planks. But these benches do not deny, but complement each other. In places, "solitude", under a shady tree of course a bench should not do.

There will just be more appropriate portable stylish shop at 2-3 places.


But just looks awkward, the same bench where the whole family, but

More and visitors and where the information has been pulled off a furniture suitable for

seating.
