Carpentry database?

I found that, the bench as #11 in that link is sorta where I want to go, but not quite.  

This is the other two promising links
https://www.deckmagazine.com/outdoor-living/structures-features/benches-built-for-comfort_o
https://www.thisoldhouse.com/gardening/21016615/how-to-build-a-garden-bench

Which is a sad few returns for poking after ideas for a several hours this weekend.

I have tried a mountain of searches and most return pinterest which is a relinking recursive nightmare.

Part of my problem is I don't quite know what I really want.

if you do use google just type in search bar "DYI patio furniture"...then when that loads.... up top click on images and wade through all 22,890 images

Perhaps not what your looking for.  

But I built this little foot bridge off the top of my head at our Florida house.  If you have a transition area between driveway and grass it makes a nice addition.  Treated 2X8's band saw cut, 2X4's, and furring strips.  Toss the plans, I have seen your work.  Bet you could come up with something perfect and original that would fit your needs.

Very cool, but no.  I might at some point but not now.

I bet I can work out something too. I just want a good starting point. I have done little in the line of seating, and my previous results were mediocre.

Ya don’t say if you use Facebook. Many people don’t, it’s full of useless brain dead political garbage. But, if you scrape of the BS you can find some goodies in the GROUPs pages,
Here’s one from the “Beginner Woodworkrs” page:
https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/Build-It-Better-Yourself%20Woodworking%20Projects%20-%20Outdoor%20Furniture.pdf?token=AWxL0QUkvFPLK3z3U_dwYAA8YzSIyrCOAUziqR0ig27BSSFkSNQNNT_U7bYMtqDPYKBOcb_aryI1AA6ifBGHE8E3G_Byu_TCn5FpffIoIRqspUvDK1ONi-hd7q4QyEglcWHLRd82HnldHYMz4j479nP6choniaq6iQhzKcbUGSMs1wzkjIxftkSaO8a-UPAU__-w58-ghbhC_Rt1BYXXbZ_V

They have lots of PDF files to browse.

I enjoyed having woodshop, and metalshop in high school. Things I learned back then have stayed with me. I’m more of a fix it guy rather than a true craftsman.

I never thought of searching facebook.
Thank you.

Wood outdoor furniture is no easy task IMO. Built in place or movable? If movable you will need to build lite.  The seat needs a curve or hard on the butt, the bench in your first link looks like it has a comfortable seat. The back looks a little too curved for me. Adirondack chairs are some of the more comfortable for me, curved seat straight back. YMMV

Thanks CB. I like that chair you found too. Nice plans. Bet Phil could knock that out in no time. I have seen them built with decorative wooden wheels on the back legs that make them easy to move around.

Found Rene's humor grinable.
