When it's hot outside, everyone wants a seat in the shade. That's probably the reason why the tree seat has become a backyard classic. With 360 degrees of shady bench, there's simply no better way to take advantage of a cool spot under a tree. Now do-it-yourselfers can enjoy all the benefits-and all the shade-of a classic tree seat at a fraction of the cost of a ready-made version. Designed to last for many years on a sturdy base of two-by-fours, this handsome tree seat project is built from redwood (as pictured; cedar, pine or treated lumber will also work well). The project utilizes all straight cuts and includes full-size patterns for the angles, making it easy enough even for beginners. To further simplify construction, the tree seat is assembled in halves. Once the halves are completed, they're positioned around the tree and fastened together with screws. The project stands about 36 inches tall, and the diameter can be adjusted to fit around tree trunks that are 18, 24 or 36 inches wide. About U-Bild plans: U-Bild plans are ideal for woodworkers and do-it-yourselfers of all skill levels. Unique "trace, saw and assemble" designs feature simple-to-follow patterns (like sewing patterns) that produce professional-looking results.
