Hi,

I'm pondering over a deck and came across the image that made me curious about how to "hang" the bench in the construction. Does anyone have an idea on how this could be solved? I have about 2 meters between the pillars but haven't started with the paving yet, so I can add an additional pillar if needed.

Modern wooden slatted fence with attached floating bench and a potted tree in front, on a tiled patio.
 
Very stylish but tempting fate without extra legs. How much does the design lose with conventional supports?
The plank also seems relatively heavy due to the density of the slats, so a stable foundation is required. Is 2 m between the posts really enough?
Also consider that the density creates significant wind resistance.

You can solve that with a steel construction that you encase.

If you attach the seating surface to a number of metal L-profiles in sufficient dimension, it will certainly hold for the weight above. You must then attach these to the vertical "leg" in something behind the plank, like a cast concrete block (think "gråsugga"), even better to anchor it properly first, of course..

Absolutely right, I won't have the slats as close together as this. I thought it was an incredibly stylish solution and easy to clean underneath. :)
