The bench brackets are from amazon.com. that was as cheap as i could find. they are the 2x4basic brand. Individually, i don't know how strong they are, but it is very very secure spaced 16 inch centers.
FrozenGator, We don't freeze much here. if we ever get ice, it is very very thin. i don't plan on moving it much.
Thanks for the comments. I am very excited about having it.
