V easy if you have a wall to attach wall to

2 4x 4 posts cut at 1050
attach to wall, 6 ft, 9 ft apart, whatever size you want

Lets say 9 ft, approx 2.7 metres

make a frame (4 x 2 ) 2.7m less 56mm (width of 2 deck boards)
2.65 m x width of 3 deck boards add 10 mm for drainage gaps 2 x 5mm

attach to posts top of frame 430mm high

Cut two front legs approx 420 hi

attach to inside of frame

Put three db on frame , this is seat, clad front and sides of frame with DB's


back :

3 db's angled , so you can lean back

Finish with 2 post caps

here's some I've done
