Outdoors > Patios > How to Build a Custom Tree Bench

Learn how to build a detached hexagonal bench around a tree.

Position the six inside seat planks around the base of the tree temporarily to confirm that they will join properly in a hexagon and leave enough room clearance for the tree. The bench will be free-standing, rather than attached to the tree in any way, but we must leave room for the tree to grow. The tree can serve as a back rest for adults who sit on the bench.
