Take A Seat On This DIY Cinder Block Bench

This comfy-looking outdoor couch could be yours if you really want. All you have to do is run down, buy a few cinder blocks, find some wood planks, and then buy a cushion for the top of the bench. You'll still need to assemble your new bench, but that'll only take a few short minutes. Then, you'll have a gorgeous new fixture to sit on outside while you watch the kids play.

If you plan on using this design, we'd suggest you place some mortar between the support blocks and the block holding the planks. This will make the bench much more solid.
