I decided to make a multi position flat incline bench using a 4x4 post as a base.
Diy workout bench dimensions. Place a foam mattress on the bench. How to wrap the bench cover properly. Use the utility knife to cut a piece of 2 inch foam pad for the bench. This bench doubles as a patio seat so i don t have to hide put it away after each workout.
It will depend on the height of the person using the weight bench. Align the sides of the bench frame between the top of the leg frames and use the socket and ratchet to attach them with 3 8 inch lag screws. This bench doubles as a patio seat so i don t have to hide put it away after each workout. At a glance the whole bench is really only six separate pieces.
Cut a piece of 5 8 inch plywood as the weight bench platform and attach it to the bench frame using wood glue and 1 1 4 inch wood screws. Bear in mind that the dimensions of this bench will not be suitable for everybody. The video hosted by diy duke walks you through building a sturdy looking gym bench from start to finish. Four 4x4 wood blocks that.
Now first and foremost i have to say that this design is experimental as i just plain don t have the gear yet to get this going and so i m hoping that either you or one of your readers might. Measure the dimensions of the topmost portion of the bench and cut the mattress an inch longer than the bench dimensions. It will depend on the height of the person using the weight bench. Only a mattress on the bench doesn t work well.
The plans for the bench are to be paired up with the uprights but of course can be used alone thus the uniqueness of this two piece design as demonstrated through the photos of the prototype.
