Attach boards cut additional board as high as the cooler and equally space them between the upper and lower frame.
Create the lid by attaching boards to the top of the last frame.
Attach boards across the bottom to create a base and insert cooler.
Attach the lid to the seat using the long hinge. Add a divider on either side of the cooler and insert a board to create two shelves.
Using a 1 ½” paddle bit, drill a hole from the front of the bench above each of the four shelves to hold the wine bottles.
