Here's the completed garden bench / cart / scooter. It's stained now. I added four-inch, easily lockable casters for safety. It has a heavy duty pull rope. I added a cushion.
When the rope is not in use, it's easily tucked into the side opening. So i's not a tripping hazard.
I think it needed the back for sturdiness. I'm glad I cut openings to let light in and lighten the weight a tad.
Next to the old bench. Compared to that, this one is slightly taller, for my height; wider and longer for lower center of gravity and more sturdy. With the casters, I can scoot around on it, rather that getting up whenever I want to move a little.
So far I'm pretty happy with my new garden bench / cart / scooter. I think it's safer than the old seat, which was threatening to collapse when I sat on it. It's more comfortable for me, and more useful.
Except for the casters and the pad, all of the materials were upcycle / re-purpose / lying around in the woodshed or garage.
