Outdoor Storage Bench Using a Kreg Jig

This Giveaway is now Closed! Thank you so much for stopping by, you will find the winner announced below! Please come back for more giveaways with Averie Lane!

We recently had the amazing opportunity to work with Kreg Tool on an outdoor themed project (...still can't believe it!). There are lots of projects we could tackle, but we decided that since our favorite things are sitting around the fire pit with the family, BBQing, or enjoying a nice cigar (Justin , not me!) we should build something that makes all of that easier.

Our current set up was less than desirable, especially with toddlers roaming around...

Patio Grilling area no storage


We don't have a huge patio, so whatever we built had to be a multi-functional piece.  We decided an outdoor bench for extra seating that could hold fire wood underneath and provide storage for all the BBQ supplies would be just what we needed. Ha! That's not asking much is it!?

Once we knew what we wanted to build we had to figure out what we were going to build it with.

Normally we would sketch out a design and head off to the home improvement store to buy all the materials, but this time we wanted to challenge ourselves to use what we had, which basically meant shopping all the piles of reclaimed wood sitting around, sifting through misc hardware in the garage and re-purposing leftovers from other projects. Believe it or not we didn't buy a single thing for this project (we were provided with some supplies from Kreg, but they actually didn't make it here in time for the build - my fault, not theirs - so we will use those supplies on a future project)!

We ended up turning some of this....
