A bench cut is the result of cutting a section of tread across the side of a hill. If you look at the side profile of this cut it looks like a bench, hence the name. The two basic designs are known as "full bench" and "partial bench." Full bench construction means that the full width of the tread is cut into the side of a hill. The entire tread is dug down to compacted mineral soil. Viewed in cross-section, the tread angles slightly downhill at 3-5%. This is known as outslope. A partial or balanced bench means that part of the hill is cut away and the soil that has been removed is placed at the lower edge of the trail to try to establish the desired width. This is known as a fill slope.
