Simple but nice and real instructions not just cut AND PUT TOGETHER FAST😂😂😂😂😂😂😂,GOOD JOB THANKS CAN DOMALOT WITH THIS INFO!!!!!!

[@christopherpellerito5883]

There are a lot of similar projects on KZbin, but this feels like the best version to me. One question: what size were your cushions? It would be nice if the project cut list (beginning 0:50) said "cut these pieces to the depth of your cushions plus 4 inches" or "cut these pieces to the width of your cushions" and so on.

Incredible work, I will be making this sofa this weekend. also, I will make a matching 3 seater so instead of 47", I will use 70.5 in length. The rest stays the same.

[@josephasbury186]

[@tuxster123]

A garden bar/BBQ area would be amazing,would love to see that built. Look forward to seeing more of your work, thank you...👍

[@amadeolerma4979]

I am a Spaniard in Chile and I loved the chair. I found it great and I know what the wood is, it is a 2x4 board, but would it be possible for you to help me with the plan for the measurements?

[@derr3alex]

Pretty good, I work in home improvement retail and the last thing I want to do is build, this was easy. Gotta try.

[@Rizvan.553]

Hello, please, if you know, explain to me clearly, are the numbers written there the length of the boards, or what are the sizes of them, if you know, tell me

[@lewisk6855]

I'm just getting started in wood working. The first thing I wanted to build was a couch for my living room. Do you have videos on that?

[@vex123]

Can you provide a link for the cushions?

[@wardahismail977]

شكرااااا حبيبي ❤

[@kamalyounes6135]

Great and quick build, however the height of the armrests is 23.5 in total and is too low to account for proper back support. I suggest to replace the height by 27” total. I have also i cread the length of the cuts from 47” to 48”

[@koksalayyldz1334]

süperrrrr

[@chelseaclark8251]

Now I need to find the cushions

[@user-jb9he8tw4m]

👍👍👍

[@alexiav661]

Amazing! What adjustments would I need to make to build this wider?

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Thank you! You would need longer pieces for the center part. Instead of [5x] 2x4x47'' and [4x] 1x6x47' , you could replace the 47" by a custom length of your choice. That said, i would not go much longer than 60" otherwise a central support would be needed. Hope it help! Make sure you check my instructables here : www.instructables.com/Easy-Outdoor-Sofa-From-2x4s-and-Two-Power-Tools/ . I've included several pictures of the pieces you need. 😊

[@ritchiemeza]

this looks extremely doable and the end product is beautiful. my only question is how tall/high is the third (bench holding) 24inch 2x4 inside the arms of arm rests?

[@trevorhardy3544]

Over a year and still no reply. What a joke.

[@nikozollner7604]

Great job. One tjing - It looks like the back of the sofa is at an angle but you haven't mentioned it in your description or video.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Hi Niko! The back has no angle, it is 90°. The cushions tho have an angle so that compensates. 😉 I have included a lot of pictures on my instructables if you want more details and pictures of the build.

[@SwapnilBhartiya]

What kind of wood?

[@Milmilo584]

This is great!! Thank you for sharing Quick question why did you chose 47 inches for the length instead of 48? Since the average cushions are 24 inches did both fit properly? I’m new to this and was just wondering.

[@jktechwriter]

Were the cushions purchased? Standard size of some sort?

[@SEBTECHDIY]

I bought them last summer at my local Rona ( Lowe's division ). 24x24 is one of the sizes I see most often when shopping for outdoor cushions. They have changer the model this year, they are more thicker but would work with that build, maybe I would put the seat a bit lower to compensate. If you have any questions feel free to ask! 😉

[@mugur4327]

I want to order timber today or tomorrow, but I am very beginner :) can you please tell me what exactly you mean about 7? (for 2x4) and also 2 (for 1x6)? How many meters shall I buy for 7 and 2? Thanks

[@duilio2156]

how to get free plans?

[@mercedesvillanueva8988]

what are the final dimensions?

[@josmilquintero7334]

Very easy Where do I get the free plan ???

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Right here : www.instructables.com/Easy-Outdoor-Sofa-From-2x4s-and-Two-Power-Tools/ 😉

[@jimmackay1687]

Doesn't include measurements for placement of pieces.

[@mailaloomy4219]

Woodprix has a lot of designs to choose from.

[@trevorhardy3544]

You don’t even tell us the spacing between the pieces of wood… Neither does your instructables page. People also need to know the height to put the weight bearing 2x4.
