Three Deck Projects

Add a finishing touch to your backyard getaway with these deck accesssories from Workbench magazine. We designed these projects to accompany our Rustic Retreat Deck plan, but they can easily be adapted to fit an existing deck or patio. Includes step-by-step instructions for building each of the accessories listed below.

Cedar Planter
Features a sturdy shelf inside strong enough to hold potted plants or plenty of loose potting soil.

Built-in Benches
Simple to build, this bench seating works anywhere along a deck railing.

Custom Firepit
Extend the outdoor season with this cozy, natural-looking firepit. It's UL-approved for use on a wood deck.
