Backyard Trellis and Custom Bench Reconstruction
THE CHALLENGE

The Situation

  • The bench and trellis structure was worn out and no longer safe to use.
  • The partition wall blocked the view through the window, closing the space in.
  • The homeowner wanted the new structure to be sturdy enough for heavy planters or light exercise use, not just decorative.

Where We Started

THE APPROACH

What We Did

1

Demolition & Prep

‍Removed the existing bench, trellis beam, and three posts, then cleared and prepped the patio and garden area for the rebuild.

‍

2

Rebuild the Frame

‍Setting three new 6x6 pressure-treated posts in concrete, topped with a full-span cedar 2x6 beam bolted through with carriage bolts for a frame strong enough to hang heavy plants or take exercise-equipment loads.

‍

3

Open the Sightline

‍ Cutting down and reinstalling the partition wall to the side, reinforced with new cedar 2x4s top and bottom, so the view through the window is restored.

‍

4

Rebuild the Bench

Building a new bench base from pressure-treated 4x4s set in concrete, matching the original size and style, with a cedar 2x8 slatted seat for drainage and the same wrap-around 2x8 border finish.
