Many thanks for that DL it looks good.  I will have a word with herself when she gets back and then a talk to my son regarding the steelwork.

Thanks also to Jason for the advice on finishing the metal elements.

I will let you know what we decide.



Hi

The drawing is to scale on A3 paper if you would like a hard copy them PM me with your address and I will put a couple of copies in the post.


I feel we have put you to enough effort on our behalf already DL - I can get the file copied onto A3 locally - thank you so much for what you have done.

Just a point, it all appears to be hanging on the wall, are you confident that the wall will hold it ?
.

The wall seems to be well built 9" with a top of Engineering bricks on edge.  The curve I would assume would give a greater strength say than a straight wall of similar construction.

I am open to advice.

One benefit to me is that if the supports are painted say a dark green then the bench will appear to float in space.


Hi

I would not have designed it that way if I thought the wall was built like a house built out of straw.

If you think on it the majority of the force is being transferred strait down there is very little force is applied to a pull. And don’t forget as all ready mentioned it is also being fixed with two M8 coach screws.

Regarding colour you could consider a gun metal colour.

I have been trying to think of the colour / effect that are black with green highlights like aged copper (green).  

It’s no trouble to put a couple of copies of the drawing in the post.
