Welcome to our Community Q&A page for Outdoor Wood Bench.

I have a beautiful wood bench that the hornets have stripped a lot of the wood from. I would like to stain it and spray it to keep them away from it. Would a clear varnish do the trick?? Thank you!!

This picnic table is unfinished and has weathered for many years outside, but it's still in good condition so I'd like to restore it. The wood is very rough, and will probably need to be sanded (unless there's an easier way to smooth it out). It's never been painted, it's just been left to age naturally (lots of moss growing on it). The benches are still in good condition also. After I finish working on it, I'd like to put something on it to better protect it from rain, etc. I've never done this before, but I'm up for the challenge!

We have some outdoor wood picnic tables that are currently unfinished and kind of grayish from being outside for years. I would like to sand them then apply a clear polyurethane finish on them. Is that what I would use? Is there a special kind that I need? I've never done this before so any help would be great! By the way, I don't know if this matters, but the tables are in the sun pretty much all day. Thanks for your help. If I just sand it instead of powerwashing it, will it also work?

I just bought a wooden glider-bench at a garage sale. It seems in fair shape, no rot and minimal rust, but the wood is VERY dry. It has some remnants of an old stain finish still in it; I'm certain it isn't paint. After sanding it down to remove the rough places, how can I put some glow back into the wood? Wax? Oil? Special finish? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please provide address of the place that does closest to 90005 zip code if you can. Closest one to my home address (which I will not provide) gets best answer.

I'm doing a scale model of a TV news set for a class. Part of the requirement is to find out what materials are needed and how much the whole thing costs. In my set there are benches and cabinets for TV sets, because it is a kids' news show.

I would like to know the best way to do this as I need to secure two cedar wood benches to the blacktop of a church parking lot for my Eagle Scout award project. Thank you in advance!

I am trying to find a wooden, back-to-back glider swing for a children's playgym swingset like the one pictured here from Cedar Works Playsets: http://www.flickr.com/photos/87013076@N00/989348671/ Unfortunately, Cedar Works will not sell the swings to anyone that doesn't have one of their playsets and I don't. All I can find are molded plastic glider swings, but I want the wood glider instead. It would need to be shipped to the U.S. and I hope to pay under $200. Maybe there is a custom woodworker out there somewhwere that could make me one. Thanks for any sources you might know of.

I got a really nice outdoor patio set (3 wooden high-back chairs and 1 high-back bench) from my aunt who was getting rid of them. The only thing I need are cushions...but Im on a pretty tight budget and everywhere Ive looked the prices seem pretty steep. Are there any places that sell all weather-cushions that are reasonably cheap (but at the same time not cheaply made)?

I would like to build a simple bench around an apricot tree in my yard, but haven't been able to find any plans that aren't too difficult.

One time I saw a bench formed into 2 trees... the trees were like formed and growing on top of the bench. help?

between the tree and each bench. 4 trees were used 2ft, 3ft, 6ft, and 10ft around. (A) How many boards will be needed? (2X6) (B) How long should each board be?(C)What angle should she cut the boards? (D) What is a generic formula she could use 2 find this information if she decided to do another tree?

ds are made up of( 2X6). The 4 trees measured 2ft, 3ft, 6ft, & 10ft around the tree. (A) How many boards will be needed? (B) How long should each board be?(C) What angle should she cut the boards? (D) What is a generic formula she can use to find this information if she decided to do another tree?

i need 3 different covers with either long paths, autumn trees or benches. or all in one would be brilliant!
