Pine timber, decking boards, paint and screws are all that's needed to create an outdoor chair.
The project
This might just be my favourite "quick win" project yet. A modern, designer-style patio chair using nothing more than 90mm x 35mm Pine, some decking boards, a handful of screws and basic power tools. No fancy joinery. No expensive gear. Just a simple, satisfying build that you can knock up in a weekend. Hope you like it!
Steps
Step 1
Build the two outside frames including the seat support.
Step 2
Make the seat frame and attach to the two seat supports.
Step 3
Cut and attach the back support to the two side frames.
Step 4
Cut and attach the decking board slats to the seat and the backrest.
Step 5
Please Note: If you decide to paint your chair, do that before you attach the slats to the seat and the backrest. If you don't paint, staining is a great option and also a lot quicker.
Step 6
Finished.
