Garden Bench

[SteveF]

Hi all

want to make a garden bench, but
I want the back legs set forward about 12"
the bench will sit above a raised area and I would like it to sit back as far as it can
shorter back legs is not an option as not a solid base in raised area

is this a recipe for disaster of it tipping?

Not if you set the front in mass concrete.

I agree with Phil.

At 12" forward, the rear legs will nearly be at the front of the seat. Where would you put the front legs? Probably best to create a cantilevered bench with two legs set into concrete. something like this:

thought as much sadly
maybe i could use the wall behind for support

That might work.

Or people could sit on the ground.
