A slatted bench joins two planter boxes, with a backrest that leans back 12 degrees. The plans include tapered back supports, mitred planter caps and details for lining and drainage
Check the space before you build

The listing rates this as a confident-beginner project. Plan the final location before filling the boxes, and allow the finish to cure before planting
