This one is permanent and built like a brick chit house. The legs are 8x8" cedar post I scrounged from a job site slage pile, all other parts are 2x6's. Every edge, end and all parts have stain on them. I didn't want wood rot to start at any location not covered. I looked at several plans on the interweb and kinda combined 2 plans. I went with a separate seat making it EZ to adjust for different shooters. I'll move it in-place tomorrow but will have to use the tractor. She's a heavy one. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-63244-398936-img_3516.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-63244-398937-img_3515.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-63244-398938-img_3512.jpg)

Cut list for shooting bench.

Top frame:
Qty 2 @ 43"
Qty 2 @ 25"
Qty 1 @ 40" center support left to right
Qty 2 @ approx. 12" front to back support (used for nailing top).
Top:
Qty 5 @ 45"
Qty 1 @ 1"
Qty 4 @ 13" (for Top center section).
Allow 1/16" to 1/8" spacing between pieces for expansion.
Top center section frame:
Qty 2 @ 20" (sides)
Qty 1 @ 11" (end)
Legs:
Qty 3 @ 35" add under side framing to support leg on all sides.
Qty 1 Rear leg brace approx 14" with 45 degree cut on both ends.
Qty 1 front Legs horizontal support 36"
Needed Hardware:
12 4" lag bolts and washers
Qty 2 boxes of 2 1/2" x 10 deck screws
Qty 7 2x6"x8'
Instructions:
Build top frame on level surface.
Add legs, bracing as needed while still working on level surface.
Add front leg support.
Add rear leg support, do this before top is installed.
Turn bench up right adding the bench top pieces ensuring 1/16" to 1/8" gap between boards.
Notes:
I predrilled all screw and bolt holes to eliminate wood splitting.
I used deck stain on all ends & edges to protect from wood rot.
Bench height supports a 19" chair/stool for an average sized person.
Top has 1" overhang on all sides.
Happy Shooting!

Nice work. That first pic it looks like it is set up for lefty shooting but the next two pics show it righty. Anyways, it's a tank compared to my scrap wood bench I made. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/09/full-6518-400675-img_0011.jpg)

I had to make it for left & right shooters. Yours looks good and will get the job done, nice work.
If you feel the need my cut list is in this post for your permanent bench.
I've made a few over time, but was looking for solid and permanent.
