Show Us Your Bonsai Benches

funny how an hours drive matters. Since moving into my current place in 2009, we have had this sort of snow over 3 winters
This is true. I live in the snow belt of lake Erie. Some years we get up to 200 inches. Twenty miles south of here gets 30 inches. This snowfall has been going on since our Thanksgiving and hopefully end tomorrow night for a grand total of 70 inches!!

yeah well also climate has changed a bit... when i was a kid we could go ice skating every year on the canals but now it hardly freezes longer then 3 days in a row so my 14 year old kid has only been on the ice once in his life so far and we used to get at least a bit of snow each year but its been soft winters past few years sometimes it looks like fall last 6 months with only rain haha
 
In the Netherlands we have a so called "C-climate" because of the influence of the sea (which is getting warmer every year caused by global warming).
I can't really remember a winter with snow for more than one week in the last 20 years and the fact that the last Elfstedentocht took place in 1997 says it all IMO.
 
So ive been scrolling back and forth trough this thread couple times now as i need to reorganize my garden this spring.

Amazing benches to see but my garden is not that big so today i cut a deal at the local building suply company for 54 cement blocks 30x20x20 cm to make a (re)movable or probably expandable bench.
Wood is become realy expensive here and with only 50€ i could get the 54 blocks i already got 8 bankirai flooring boards so that bench will going to last me a long time hopefully!

i need to replace the fence between me and my neighbours garden first before i can put the bench where i want it so its going to be allot of work but looking forward to start working on it!

Thnx for sharing all this wonderfull creations!
