You should have seen the forming that allowed this bench to be poured in concrete. Plastic lumber was used. 4 profiles of the bench were cut from plywood, and the plastic lumber screwed to the plywood. The original idea was to cover this entire bench in red glass tile, but expense was too great. The bench was carefully designed (reclines @ 10%) and it's located close to the fire pit for human comfort reasons. The seat tips towards the rear and is very comfortable. I mocked up the exact forms in my office and transferred the data to the detail drawings, there are weep holes (3/4" sweeps) that eliminate water from collecting at the rear of the bench. Such a fun element. More photos of the entire space coming.
