There is nothing quite like taking the family on a camping trip. It’s nice to get away from it all and to reconnect with nature from time to time but perhaps my favorite part about a camping trip is the campfire.
Some of my fondest memories from my childhood involve being with my family around the campfire and I want my children have those memories as well.
It is one thing to want something but another thing to make it happen, and Joshua Rhodes decided he was going to make it happen. He built a fire ring area in his backyard that was perfect for his family. The best thing is, it was cheap and easy to do.
After seeing benches retailing for $2000, he decided to build it himself. It only cost $125 and a trip to Home Depot.
He took plenty of time to design it, because he wanted the frame perfect.
Joshua even built supports for the bench, as it would be sitting on an uneven lawn.
Seat panels were screwed onto the frame
It’s starting to take shape already!
He put together a seatback for the bench
Totally perfect for relaxing
Slats go on the back of the seat
This is the perfect area for family fun in the summer.
A little paint brightened things up
Add some removable pillows for a splash of color and comfort
It only took 2 days to make but the project is fun, functional and perfect for family togetherness.
