Would you have any plans for players benches for our new soccer fields? Thanks to KABOOM, we have just completed the excavation and seeding of our new soccer fields, today! We are so excited. We have been unable to locate a simple plan for the benches.
Thanks!
Julie
If you would like to build benches out of wood there is a fairly simple plan you can use, one that we use on our outdoor classroom benches. Take a look in the Play Enhancement section of the KaBOOM! website and see if you can find the outdoor classroom instructions in there and base your design off of those: http://www.kaboom.org/DoItYourselfResources/SideProjects/BuildanOutdoorClassroom/tabid/231/Default.aspx
Basically you have two 2x6s at whatever length you want the bench. Each leg is made of one 4x4 at whatever length you would like to see the height of the benches plus the 18 inches you have below ground. You then use two 2x4s to 8 inches as supports that attach the 4x4 to the 2x6s.
Hi Julie,
I found these plans on line. These are a little bit fancier than the stage benches on our web site.

Good luck,
