We recently had to bin our old garden furniture and I just wasn't convinced by the quality Vs price of most of the offerings available in budget.
I stripped our the studwork from the (badly) started loft conversion from the previous owners recently and thought I'd have a go at making some myself rather than bin it all.
I know it's only untreated CLS but it's been soaked in some leftover Sika wood treatment and oiled so should get a couple years out it.
Tried to use up as much hardware as I had left over from previous project, I did buy some decking boards to use as the surfaces but all in all this whole lot has cost me around £170 including the stains and oil.
Not perfect because of how twisted some of the CLS was but I'm chuffed with how they turned out.
I'd like to get some black wafer head screws to replace the visible ones but I'm too tight to spend the extra £20
