Hi, While I like the idea of benches, the possibility of a child crawling up onto one and tumbling over the back which is the rail always put me off.

With all those angles, it was a bear to join them at the corners, and my brother, who built it for me, made me swear to never tell another soul who built it, as he feared someone else would request a similar project of him. The deck itself is cantilevered out past a 6 by 6 beam supported by 6 by 6 posts. I would never attempt to construct such a project on my own, but given your abilities in the construction arena, I thought I would tell you about the benches. They are handy when company arrives.
