The picnic bench is made of various materials. Some are made of steel, some are made of wrought iron, and most are made of wood. Wooden picnic benches are the clich picnic bench. They are what you commonly see in parks and public places.

They are not necessarily the rage, but they are popular nonetheless.

They can be easily located with the help of your local furniture dealer. For those people who find it tiring to walk around, the internet is always there.

For those who want to make their own, this is very possible. Just prepare the necessary materials and tools, and download instructions from the internet. The following is a sample.
Sand the wooden board that you will use for the seat. Focus on the sides and top that can splinter people. Cut another wooden board into two-foot sections that you will use for the legs. Lay one 2-foot board onto another that will create an x. Make two sets of this. Drill a hole into the cross point of the legs and put a bolt and nut in this. Drill another hole on the top to attach it to the seat. Drill four holes in the seat that will be used to attach itself into the two set of legs.

Have one custom made and do the design yourself. Paint, carve or use stencils, anything's possible. Either way, the wooden bench is one of the easiest garden furniture to acquire.
