As a group we thought it was important that we stick to the idea of making something beautiful out of rubbish, so we set out trying to find (and steal!) used pieces of wood large enough to make the main squares from. We mostly found old palettes from outside shops etc. We set about demolishing the palettes, but because it was mostly low quality wood we had to deconstruct it carefully in fear of the wood splitting. In some instances the wood was damp because it had been found outside. We contemplated the idea of buying new wood, but were scared that we would end up making rubbish out of something beautiful! As a group we spent a while discussing dimensions for the structure, including the heights of the seats, the sizes of the main squares, and the lengths of wood needed.
