MAKE A SLATE ROCK BENCH FOR 3 DOLLARS!

I am not sure what type of rock this is but I will call it a fake slate stone.  It is plentiful in my area.  We are landscaping our yard and our back porch had these for a patio for many years.  We are building a deck and don't need them but decided to use them for decorating other areas of our yard.  I wanted a bench and made this using  concrete blocks for the legs. 

Step 1: SUPPLIES

ONE LARGE LONG FLAT ROCK
2 CONCRETE BLOCKS
SHOVEL
ELBOW GREECE

I think you can do better. The use of cinder blocks, when the inner structure is exposed is unsightly. If it proves difficult to find natural pieces to provide the proper support ( hight/flat spread)then you must cover the open sides of the cinder blocks with pattieo blocks, found in the same color and size.

This is a cool project!  was that whole top piece a part of the patio, or did you pour it?  Nice job. Cman

The bench is one complete slate rock which was part of a patio that had 100 slate rocks in it.  They were set with dirt like you would set stepping stones.  We got about 3 or 4 slate rocks about the size of this bench.  Thank you for your comment.
