Free home & diy tip: Assemble legs and stretchers (step 2 of 4 from "Build a Simple Outdoor Bench").
Build two leg pairs with a horizontal stretcher near the ground and one under the seat. Keep corners square with a clamp and square.
Bolts through legs = bombproof; long exterior screws OK if predrilled.
