This content describes the process of building a bench that fits in a garage while allowing enough space for cars to park and walk. The bench was designed to accommodate a small concrete footer that runs around the base of the garage walls. The bench is 25 inches deep, 6 feet wide, and 48 inches from the ground to the work surface. The bench is made entirely of 2×4 pine, except for a few 2×2 furring strips. The surfaces are made of 3/4 inch melamine laminated particleboard. The total cost of the project, including tax, was $93.39. This amount includes 11 pieces of 2x4x8 pine, 3 pieces of 2x2x8 pine, 1 sheet of 8×4 melamine particle board, and 2 boxes of 2.5 inch drywall screws costing $6.47 each.
The purpose of building this bench was to provide a workspace that can fit within the dimensions of a garage while still allowing enough room for cars to park and people to walk. The bench also allows for a small concrete footer that runs around the base of the garage walls. This means that the bench had to be built to fit within the constraints of the garage while still being functional.
The bench was constructed from 2×4 pine, a standard framing lumber used in construction. The 2x4s were used to construct the legs, frames, and supports for the bench. The melamine laminated particleboard was used for the surfaces of the bench. Melamine particleboard is a type of engineered wood that is commonly used in furniture and kitchen cabinets. It is made by compressing wood chips and sawdust into a board, then covering it with a thin layer of melamine resin.
The bench was built to be 25 inches deep, which is enough space for most projects. It is also 6 feet wide, providing ample workspace. The height of the bench from the ground to the work surface is 48 inches, which is a comfortable height for most people to work at. The dimensions of the bench were carefully chosen to fit within the dimensions of the garage while still allowing enough space for cars to park and people to walk.
The bench was constructed in a modular fashion, meaning that it was built in sections that were later assembled. This modular design allowed for easy construction and installation. The legs of the bench were constructed first, with each leg consisting of two 2x4s that were joined together to form an “L” shape. The legs were then attached to the frames of the bench, which were also made of 2x4s. The frames of the bench were joined together using screws, making a sturdy base for the bench.
The surfaces of the bench were constructed from melamine laminated particleboard. Melamine particleboard is a durable material that is easy to clean and maintain. The particleboard was cut to size and attached to the frames of the bench using screws. The edges of the particleboard were covered with edge banding, which is a thin strip of material that is glued to the edge of the board. The edge banding gives the bench a finished look and helps to protect the edges of the particleboard from damage.
The bench was designed to allow for a small concrete footer that runs around the base of the garage walls. To accommodate this, a small section of the bench was cut out to fit over the footer. This section of the bench was then attached to the rest of the bench using screws. This allowed the bench to fit within the dimensions of the garage while still allowing for the footer.
The cost of the project was $93.39, which included all of the materials needed to construct the bench. This cost was kept low by using standard framing lumber and melamine particleboard. The cost of the materials could be reduced further by using cheaper materials or by finding deals on the materials. The cost of the 2×4 pine was $2.82 per piece, and the cost of the 2×2 pine was $1.75 per piece. The cost of the melamine particleboard was $38.28 per sheet, and the cost of the drywall screws was $6.47 per box.
In conclusion, building a bench that fits within the dimensions of a garage while still allowing enough space for cars to park and people to walk is possible. The bench can be constructed using standard framing lumber and melamine particleboard. The bench should be built in a modular fashion to make installation and construction easier. The cost of the project can be kept low by using cheaper materials or by finding deals on the materials. The end result is a functional and sturdy workspace that is perfect for DIY projects or for working on cars.
