Garden Slat Bench

An outdoor garden bench built around a row of timber slats stretched between two end frames. The slats sit slightly proud of each other so rainwater drains between them rather than pooling on the seat — a detail that matters for a piece that lives outside year-round. End frames carry the load down through wide CNC-milled mortises rather than fasteners, so the wood stays mechanically honest as it expands and contracts with the seasons. Length is adjustable, from a short porch perch to a long path-side bench.
