My parents wanted a bench to go with the concrete fire pit I made for them. I decided to reuse the wooden forms from that project to make a bench. The bench consists of 2 blocks of concrete made from Quikrete 5000 and three 8-foot long 4x6s that I got from home depot. Four 4x4s would have worked just as well. I did this project in southern California so frost heave isn’t a problem, which is why I was able to do it without digging deeper. The wood isn’t actually attached to the concrete but rather sits within recesses in the concrete blocks. I am thinking about making the bench L-shaped in the future so I wanted to be able to disassemble it if needed.

Wow. Can you cook on this also? (I ask bc one video said concrete healthy for cooking on). What do you say?
la cara de triste al final de video es terrible jajaja
those chicken tho
I need to pause this and make some coffee first
brilliant idea., but how durable is the concrete block without metal, steel in it?
Wonderful video! I have a question, what type of wood do you use for this project? Should I coat with anything? Thank you.
I love your work, I just feel like the bench is a bit too close to the fire pit.
after nearly two years, how are they holding up without reinforcement or fibers in the concrete mix?
1:50 AHH! chickens!

Thanks for sharing 🌹 would you please mention what kind of (wood cutter) and (sanding machine) do you used and liked, I dont know what's the best brand , if you could help me, Thanks🌹
Each time things get tedious, with the saw, chickens appeared. Great vid. Beautiful bench Sir.
I love it 🤗
"Yeah! Chiks like that!"
very nice, thank you
Really nice build! Ya ask me? You should align the wooden grooves with the centers of the concrete blocks! 😉
Cheers!
polystyrene would have worked as well for the infill. 🙂
Can't find 4×6's to save my life… could use other sizes but I like the look of the 4×6.
Very Nice, I will incorporate some of these ideas when I get to my project this fall, thanks!
