This is a simple park bench made from Karuvelam wood (babool). This was made for work camp during the foundation course for the MBBS batch of 2015. This was done by the woodworking club, CMC.
We used 2x4 reapers of babool wood, rounded them off and used large stainless steel screws to hold them down. Only butt joints all the way, but hopefully it will be strong.
We used Pidilite terminator anti termite coatings for added protection.
The finish is asian paints PU exterior finish.
The mason who fixed the benches suggested that we cover the buried parts of the legs with aluminium sheets for protection and we did so. I am not sure of how useful this added step will be. Time will tell. It will definitely protect from termites.

Bench does look a little high. Are you sure you got the height right? Good show anyway, especially the community spirit which we Indians lack a lot. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteThanks Indranil. It looks high, but it isnt. I think it is something about the photo. The height is only about one and a half feet.
