Campfire/firepit seating ...
 

Saw this in a magazine some time back, can't remember which one, but
whoever you are, thanks for the inspiration.

Wanted to make sure it works before passing it on and today is the first
chance I've had to make one. Surprisingly stable and comfortable.

Less than $20 and 30 minutes, and comfort is for the sitting ... great
for camp/firepit seating.

(1) PT 2 x 8 x 10
(1) PT 2 x 8 x 8
Handful of deck screws for PT application

If anyone knows the mag, I'll be glad to give them credit.

Thinking that a table top could also be added to the seat. When not in
use, it could be hinged to fold down the back. ~ Just a thought to
add a little functionality.

Might have to give that a try. Got a dump trailer last summer and
have found hauling 6-10 yards of branches & or rotted woods to the
recycler far more practical then trying to burn it. One hour round
trip as opposed to all day burning. I've graded it all out and will
put in a recreational fire pit and just burn firewood. These look
pretty comfortable and I have a couple of PT 2x12 I didn't use.
Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the pics and diagram.
Made one yesterday. Sturdy and quite comfortable. I think a table using
the same sort of idea with X legs would fit in nicely.

Your welcome. Thanks for the feedback ... actually got to use the one I
made yesterday, in its intended location, and was surprised at how
comfortable it was.

If you come up with any mods, let us know.

My $.02 worth. I would put hinges under the seat on both sides so they could
fold under. Add 2 metal studs on each side at mounting location for back.
Use wing nuts on studs. This way easy to travel to camp site saving space.
Hope this is clear enough. warren

LOL! You sure you don't want to upholster the seat while you're at it? ;)

The whole idea is two pieces of wood, seven cuts, twenty minutes 'til
sit down, and a twenty dollar bill ... with some change left to buy a
beer with. g
