Product Description
Increase the seating area of your deck with the 2x4basics Deck Bench Bracket. It uses only 7 inches of deck space to create a comfortable bench on your deck. The back is angled for extra comfort and integrates a level railing, too. Space the bench brackets every 24 inches to create a durable, attractive seating area around the entire deck. The bench bracket makes assembly quick and easy, you just add the lumber.

Brackets work as advertised - screws leave alot to desire, 2009-10-31
The brackets and instructions were up to par and the assembly process was pretty straight forward. However as others have noted, the hardware, particularly the phillips head screws were a pain. I opted to use screws that either used a T-25 or T-20 drive bit. I also chose to use 5/4 cedar or pressure treated stock for the seat, seat backs, and toe kicks. I placed the brackets on 16" centers.
Wonderful Product, 2009-11-07
I built a 17' by 12' bench with these brackets and the same composite material my deck is made out of. It is very sturdy and does not have much wobble. I really love that they take up so little of your deck, saving you room. They are easily installed and just what I was looking for! Excellent product!!
Time saver, 2009-12-09
I bought these because I have a small / narrow deck (8x16) and I wanted to save as much room as possible, yet still have seating for several people and a BBQ. I was concerned about how plastic frames would look, and if they would be strong enough for what I needed. I did not build according to their direct plan, as I used 1x4's and 1x6's for a more creative look and design. I stained the wood to almost an identical color as the plastic frames so the framework would not glare out and be a focal point.
The end result is a "L" shaped seating arrangement 10 feet long by 5 feet on the end. Plenty strong as I used a couple extra supports over their recommendation for saftey. I also screwed them down in a couple extra spots. The seating looks great, takes up very little space, and saved me a bunch of time. Anytone could build this.
Cushions on the bottom are recommended if sitting for a long period. The seat is not real deep, and solid wood is just that, solid.
GOOD IDEA, BUT WRONG COLOR, 2009-06-22
These brackets would probably been a really great thing...EXCEPT they are NOT Sand in color, but the ugliest, don't match anything, clash with everything shade of light olive drab you can imagine. If this does not convince you, buy one set to see for yourself. I, on the other hand, bought five and one-half sets to complete my project. Amazon gave me full credit for five sets, but I had to 'eat' the single I purchased (not through Amazon, but one of Amazons sublets). If you can find a color you can live with, these appear to be sturdy, easy to install brackets to finish your deck. These would be especially good for small decks where you want to save some room.
Bench Brackets, 2009-06-05
Great product, easy to use. I built 1 bench out of cedar and have 2 to go. Very excited to get them done...takes up very little deck space!
