Every year at half term we take the wooden garden furniture in , so last week into the conservatory went the garden bench. It will stay here until we get the summer here. June time we take our picnic bench /table out of hibernation from the conservatory. We position it on the patio and celebrate the summer by sitting on it while consuming a cup of tea.
We have a picnic table that converts to a garden bench, or the other way round. It is a wooden one just like the picture.

Advantages: Great rack for the money Disadvantages: Needs more positioning holes

It comes with easy-to-assemble instructions and requires nothing more specialist than an adjustable wrench or a socket set to assemble.
When looking for a decent power rack I kept coming back to this one, mainly because of the price and while it is pretty basic in comparison to some of the all-singing-and-dancing commercial alternatives, it still offers the same safety function of its more expensive counterparts.
