Gregg - welcome to the forum.
since you have already been looking at possible design options,
could you pull a sample photo of a style you like the best ??
this will put us all on the same page as you as far as the style goes
for a possible source of plans.
(and stay far, far away from any source that guarantees satisfaction
with their 16,000 free plans).

Full weather or covered?

 

Welcome Gregg.

John makes a great point, saying outdoor patio bench, and storage could be a lot of directions. A pic of the style you like would go a long way to narrowing down what you are thinking about.

Online be cautions of any guy who wants to sell you all or part of 6000 plans, he's a thief, scam, and none of what he is selling belongs to him.

A few of many styles of benches, most with some storage.

Hi everyone I found a few ideas but they seem to have relatively small storage areas and or look too plane like a box with a lid, or they seem to be made of plywood with a bit of trim. I was looking for something that has lots of storage under the seat for hockey bag, gold clubs and scuba gear as my son lives in a small condo. I was hoping to make something out of cedar that would not need a lot of maintenance. I saw one good idea from a member and I may have to blend some of the ideas together. Thanks for your help

 

The bench would not get alot of water or snow on it as it is on a condo balcony and the areas doesnt really get very wet.

Thanks
Gregg
