DIY Slat Bench Leg

3x 1 Recycled Tube Steel brings this striking leg together. These square shaped legs have a 1.5" slot for dimensional lumber, or your own uniquely sourced wood to make a heavy duty bench for all spaces.

Legs sold separately - select a quantity of 2 to make a bench up to 5 ft. Buy a 3rd leg to make longer benches.

The slatted design offers superb rigidity for a lasting & stable seating surface. These legs can be used indoor or outdoor.  Heavy duty with striking beauty- these and you will make furniture that last.  Choose from 4 sizes & 8 finishes.  

Casters will add about 4" in height (3.65") when screwed all the way in. Leveling feet will add 0.4375" to 1.125" to the height depending on how far you screw in the foot.

Finishes from left to right top to bottom - Textured Matte Black, Buttercream, Moondust Grey, Glacier White, Metallic Silver, Lava Red, Casual Turtle Green, Midcentury Blue

Clear & Color Powder Coats

Our powder-coat finishes are scratch-resistant and rust-proof, so they don't need much care. Just be sure to touch up any exposed steel if you happen to drag them across rough surfaces, such as pavers, or scrape them with something sharp.

You can attach your Slat Legs with just a few simple tools( Circular Saw, Rubber mallet, Hand Drill/Driver).  Here are a few basic steps to help you get started.

Step 1: Turn your project surface or slats and the Slat Legs upside down. Be sure to select straight, not bowed horizontally or vertically dimensional lumber, and place next to each other on flat surface to see if they lay flat and nestle nicely to one another.  Place slats legs next to each other in best format slide lumber/slats/top into the 1.5" slot, starting with edge pieces first (may need a cutting, sanding and rubber mallet to knock these into place as slot edge can get tight) . Mark the wood through each mounting hole with a pencil.  Pre-drill pilot holes no more than half of the wood thickness.

Step 2 : Attach your legs using #10 1.25" Truss head wood screws at for optimal fastening.  

Step 3 : Screw in Leveling feet or Rolling Casters

Step 4 : Confirm the Slat Legs are securely attached, then turn your project right side up. 

Step 5 : Enjoy!

For dimensional lumber builds use the following:

Bench Seat : (2) 2" x 8" cut to desired length (4' foot ideal, use extra leg for longer benches) may need to rip 1" of wood off one slat for better fit.

**Select straight lumber not bowed if possible. Sanding/cutting may be necessary to fit into slot
