DIY Outdoor Bench Reinforcement Bracket

This DIY outdoor bench reinforcement bracket is added to the underside of the 2x6 wood slats halfway between two bench brackets to add more strength to the bench. This reinforcement bracket technically isn't necessary as long as the bench brackets are no further than 6 feet apart from each other.
