This wood bench is easy to make and looks amazing with your farmhouse, cottage, boho, or any style of decor. At our house, we have a tiny front porch and I have always wanted seating but since there is such little room most outdoor benches wouldn't do.
I wanted something quick and easy to make so I came up with my own bench plans and crafted it in one day. Making a piece of furniture might sound intimidating, but DIY benches are easier than you'd think! These free bench plans are a great beginner project for outdoor seating.

It's always a good idea to gather the items on your materials list and necessary tools first. Now that we have our necessary materials and tools, let's get started making this easy DIY bench. If you want to add a v-shape to the bottom of your legs here is how I created mine. Find the center of one leg 3″ up from the bottom and make a mark.
Next, use the ruler and connect the markings with a pencil and then cut along the line with a jigsaw. Step 4: Glue and Nail Wood Support to Legs
Then lay it on top of the legs and nail it in place where you made the pencil marks. I used Dixie Belle chalk paint in color cotton. See how easy it is make this adorable farmhouse style wooden bench? These bench plans are so simple that this would even make a great beginner woodworking project. It is filled with designer tips and tricks on making a small porch feel larger.
