Recycled plastic benches come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and they come in several colors. If you don't find one that suits you, then you can buy recycled plastic lumber and build your own or hire a handyman or carpenter to do it for you. The tools needed to work with plastic lumber are the same tools you would use to do the same project in wood. In fact the cheaper varieties of power tools tend to be slower (spinning or moving up and down) and that makes them better for working with plastic lumber because heat from friction is reduced.

I wouldn't try to build a house using this lumber for 2 reasons. The first being it's load capacity. The longer a plastic 2X4 the more leverage plays a role in the possibility of it breaking. This factor increases much faster with plastic lumber than wood. The other being plastic lumber will expand and contract with changes in temperature. OK a third reason. The plastic bags are made from a petroleum based plastic. When they catch fire, they burn very hot, and very well.
