Build Considerations
Bench length and leg spacing are key to comfort and strength. Ensure that the span between supports is appropriate for the thickness of the 2×4 seat. Cross-bracing or under-seat supports can help prevent sagging over time.
For sanctuary use, consider adding small details like eased edges, consistent height across all benches, and finish that matches other furniture. Test one bench for comfort before building a full set.
Usage Notes
The Noah Bench works well in rows, along walls, or around tables. It can be used in sanctuaries, fellowship halls, and multipurpose rooms. Its straightforward design makes it easy to repair or refinish.
