I looked around at other decks and modified ideas for mine. Helps to have a FIL that's a finish carpenter as well.
Permanent benches should ideally be planned for in advance so that they can be tied to the framing - bolted to the joists. Portable benches can be as simple as a box, or as complicated as you want to get. Generally, for something that is exposed to weather, simple is better. But if you want to get complicated, you can make very nice adirondack chairs from leftover deck building lumber. Google is your buddy - if you built a nice deck, the bench should be easy.
