Inspired by you! But unfortunately no decorative cuts.
Took the day yesterday to build this out of redwood. Will soon probably add some support in the middle

I got everything off the deck ahead of the flash freeze and Winter storm warning. Going from actual high of 60ºF yesterday
to 9ºF tomorrow night, I cleared it off. That's too bad because I love getting pictures of them in the snow.

My first Bonsai Bench. The amount of my Bonsais increased a lot last year and usually they all just stood in random places. Now I finally have one central place for them 
It is just cement bricks with 2 planks on top. Easy and effective.
Now to add more Bonsais and more benches, haha

It looks good but.... From what I can tell, it is too small. You are only 2 weeks away from filling that bench.
I like how the wood color matches your fence, very nice.

I like those trees you have right now....partic the two on the left side of the photo.
The majority of the spots are already taken or will be taken soon, haha. Trying to leave a lot of negative space.It looks good but.... From what I can tell, it is too small. You are only 2 weeks away from filling that bench.
Thanks. I used leftover paint from the house to paint the planks.
It was quite entertaining to see my wife's face when I said I wanted to build a bonsai bench for the house and then arrived home with two of these in the car.

It’s amazing what a determined mind can haul in a car. Well done. I’m guessing that she was thinking...bonsai: small...bonsai bench: just a little bigger than small 3’ or 4’ tops.

A couple years ago my wife and I moved into our first home. That summer I put together some slatted benches on posts following a design I found on YouTube, pictured here immediately after construction. There is for sure not going to be anything worthy on these benches any time soon, but I like the way they turned out and for now they look great with a bunch of twigs in grow boxes.

Very nice.

I've been using industrial scrap for benches. i really love aluminum extrusion, so any pieces, tables, machine stands, etc. made out of this stuff that's heading to the dumpster gets redirected to my house. i also collect tough metal fencing to use as table tops, along with that heavy duty wire shelving. the maintenance dept' is really cool at the hyundai/kia parts supplier where i work.

The blob on the right is a 2.5' tall bench. Covered with 2.5' of snow!

Over the summer I had built this bench from some scrape composite I-beams leftover from a work project.
The bench was great for the space, but I've since moved to a new townhouse with a lot less space.
Figured I'd toss these pictures up before they get buried in the phone archives forever.
Come spring, I'll be building a new bench, reusing as much of the material as possible, in this tiny patio I now call my backyard. Stay tuned.
*trees are all sleeping soundly under their mesh enclosure, and snow*
