Floating bench frame construction

Posted by Mark Falconer on December 26, 2015 at 10:37am in Design and Info
Hi everyone,I've recently been asked to construct two floating benches as part of a typically contemporary courtyard garden design. The bench top will be made from Red Cedar, but I'm seeking some advice on how to construct a frame from steel that is robust enough.The one bench is a L-shape with the longest side being 2.3m against a solid block rendered wall and the other 1m against a red cedar fence with a small solid block rendered support wall for the end of the bench.The other bench is straight and 2m long and the client wants it to be flush with the beds on either side which is also solid block rendered walls.Are there any tried and tested methods of building a frame onto the wall that can take the typical weight with out bowing over time.I would appreciate any images or any advice that someone can give regarding this frame construction. It's my first of these types of construction.
