I designed an outdoor bench for a client this past spring that he wanted to match his porch swing. He wanted built in cat boxes with a seat that lifts up so he could clean out the cat boxes easily. He liked that bench so well I ended up building two more benches without the cat boxes for this patio beside his pond. I haven’t found the pictures of that bench yet, but it did inspire me to build the same style of bench and turned it into a glider. It is made out of treated pine.

Looks great! What did you use for the mechanical parts?

Mitet,
The ball bearing glider brackets were bought online for $17 for 4 or at Rockler for $22 for 4, 1/4” x 2 1/2” carriage bolts, 1/4” fender washers, & 1/4” lock washers.
Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate them.
