I have a 50’s something Dodge black and white tailgate. I haven’t measured it yet. I’m a 68 yo female so I’d have to have my brother build it, if he will. Thanks!

I am going to make a tailgate bench soon. Most of these seem to be made out of pressure treated wood. I thought I might use something else so it’s not as toxic. My local home depot has 4×4 Douglas fir posts. I may use those. But for the smaller dimensional boards, not sure. Maybe I split a 4×4?

Hi Steve, I used a semi-transparent outdoor stain. You could certainly add a clear coat, though I’m not sure if I would apply one over an outdoor stain.

I used your ideas and made some changes to make one of my own. What did you coat the tailgate with? It appears to have a shinier finish in the final pics. Just wondering about applying some type of clear coat to mine to give it a little protection and a better finish. Thanks!

Yes, it’s definitely heavy, though not 300lbs. Granted, it’s also meant to sit in one place. It’s not a portable bench.

I was going to do the same thing for a high school project but take the weight of the bench to consideration because NO ONE wants to carry around a 300 pound bench just saying
