DIY Outdoor Sofa

Follow us on instagram for project updates: www.instagram....
Dimensioned drawings for this DIY Outdoor sofa made out of tropical hardwood decking are here: www.homemade-mo...
I considered using Ipe deck boards to build this sofa but ended up picking Cumaru boards instead since I liked the color better and they were cheaper. if you want to see more project plans for DIY outdoor furniture like sofas and couches let me know in the comment section.
I used a cordless circular saw, jigsaw, orbital sander, and drill from:

Very nice! probably one of the best sofa designs. The simplicity and versatility. Absolutely perfect

[@ModernBuilds]

Looks awesome!!

[@6099x]

jesse always looks so relaxed when she sits on one of the chairs or sofas :D great couch, i love the simplicity

[@flolovedrama]

I want to make something similar but longer... I'm afraid the wood is going to ply under peoples weight in the middle. For a 8foot long sofa how many legs should I make 3 or 4 ?

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Awesome! Has a very tranquil feel to it. Like it should be near a fountain

[@ChippedBuilds]

That looks so nice. Love that it comes apart.

[@oojagapivy]

I like the build-up construction of the legs. Very accessible to many.

[@pedge001]

Just added this to my build list for this spring! Great design and use of materials (as usual).

[@jacklego41]

Anyone else think he'll get a MacArthur fellowship? What ben is doing is truely amazing with quality furniture made out of nice materials but not too expensive so he can compete with a place like Ikea but has the quality and flexibility of custom handcrafted furniture

[@BruceAUlrich]

I've never heard of that wood before. It has a really great look to it. Nice job, Ben!

[@motasemaleissawy800]

I like how you treats your sister

[@franksonjohnson]

Just saw your Moen ad in front of this video. That's some next level KZbin-ing right there.

[@HomeMadeModern]

awesome!

[@dwell]

so nice! was that Mike from Modern Builds that i saw?

[@DavidSchuVideo]

Very clean and simple. I dig it.

[@ModernBuilds]

Hey! I think you stole my RZ Mask 😂

[@HomeMadeModern]

I totally did and its freaking awesome!

[@JeremyLabelle]

Beautiful clean design & great tips about the stainless steel screws... I wouldn't have thought they'd break so easily, without pre-drilling.

[@pwb9565]

Nice design. Boards not supported in middle. Problem?

[@giononnik]

This is an amazing project and I like how you take notice of everything that could improve quality of it, one thing that I thought about the seat was that the middle part seemed too flexible when you sat on it, if anything I would add another small leg in the middle for better support but I don't know how it really feels when you sit on it so I can't really prove my point but anyways, it's an awesome project without a doubt.

[@hippoandbearmakes3416]

Love the design! It looks great!

[@azaraid]

Excelente projeto, muito obrigado. Abraços

[@nyinfamous2k2]

Modern builds and cameo spotted lol Man I really like the way that came out

[@muzkur]

Odd... Garapa's the term we use here in Brazil refering to suggar cane's juice

[@VideosVonDennis]

Damn. You're a master. This is sorcery!

[@baconwizard]

The wood fits together so nice that it reminds me of Lego.

[@lianecastro3380]

Muito lindo. Parabéns.

[@stumptownwoodworks]

That's either a new bottle of whiskey or you guys have switched to beer while on the maker ranch. I love that it was in this video and the scaffolding bed video. Also, you got me seriously wanting to make this for our deck at home, i went to the advantage lumber site and really like the look of tiger wood.

[@TheFancyUmbreon]

Aww... I thought you were gonna make the cushions too... Wanna build my own couch someday with a bunch of compartments and stuff in it, so I'll probably have to make my own cushions for it as well and have no idea how to.

[@cassiecarmichael]

Good enough for the inside of the house lol cool.

[@mariasartori2393]

Yes, what not

[@Tauanms]

Cumaru and garapeira are brazilian woods. Very popular in Brazil. Hard hard hard woods.

[@HomeMadeModern]

so hard! but look great when sanded and oiled

[@lmelgar7699]

achei que essas madeiras só existiam no Brasil...mas que legal que elas fazem sucesso la tambem.

[@SchutzReborn]

Nice build, thanks for the video.

[@shnibblett]

Where’s the design on your site... I love this so much

[@marioelcham133]

How much is the thickness of the boards...by the way great job.

[@SeetalMD]

I would like to see a cheaper DIY outdoor sofa but in a design as simple as this one please.

[@flolovedrama]

octopus life you could use 2x6

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice work Ben! Thanks for sharing.😎👍JP

[@PaulTranDIY]

Awesome! Need to make me a outdoor set

[@astreaNght]

Great job, nice proportions. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes the movie speed is too high for a newbie like me to catch all the necessary details. Can the furniture be made from other than tropical wood? (saving rain forests) What kind would you recommend in that case?

[@PaiviProject]

Nice job. I sure could use one of those in my backyard 👍😀

[@mohammodsirajsiraj5403]

Very good job sir

[@Whamola]

Last website update was in early January, when can we expect an article with the demension drawings? Description also doesn't link back to website.

[@rynammo]

Lindo! Vou fazer

[@AlejandroGonzalez-md5yx]

Good job team

[@nathankidz]

Make room partition with two side plz... 😁

[@6fridge]

Yeah this is really nice

[@HomeMadeModern]

and easy! only right angle cuts

[@petalss5325]

another amazing easy build :-)

[@halmorra]

Great build. Could this work with cedar, or does the hardwood resist flex in the middle because it's stronger?

[@smokeyrobinson4918]

Great project!

[@bosschitombi8938]

Much love.

[@meelius]

Nice design. Not sure about the choice of a Tropical Hardwood for timber though. And if your encouraging people to recreate your design, don't you have a responsibility to ensure that your at least trying to source from a sustainable source? Cumala for those that are interested is also known as Brazilian Teak, (although it bears no relation to 'normal' Teak), and is named after an idigenous tribe. Over logging in Indonesian teak forests means that teak wood is now extremely scarce and also expensive.. Cumala is not listed as endangered ...yet.

[@mikea953]

good great like it

[@davewilliams355]

Brilliant

[@alejandraalonso6371]

Que hermoso

[@tonil.8758]

Would you post a link to those saw horses?

[@DIY_Dad_83]

Hi five for the Bulleit!!!

[@mactriz5411]

Great job ;-)

[@vinodmathew5581]

Awesome

[@nehabkeinyoutubesry]

Nice motorcycle (background)👌👌

[@dicksoncristancho5024]

muy bonito pero graban el vídeo muy rápido y para personas principiantes es muy difícil entenderlo....

[@Geeksmithing]

So when can I expect the Uyeda Collection at my neighborhood Target? :)

[@HomeMadeModern]

haha! soon I hope

[@Yusuf.A90]

But where did you get the cushions?

[@JoeDoeOutdoors]

Hii great channel ☺ Keep it up!

[@SiniSael]

The feet is just waste of material imho - I like some of your projects - and I get its to show an easy alternative - but you have stacked material this way in multiple video's. And you could easily create a square thick enough like the supporting crossmember for the back rest.

[@valentenavarro3899]

Muy bueno

[@EduardaSilva-rp9zt]

Amei ❤

[@randomraminxd3274]

wow!

[@scottbeisel7598]

This is awesome!! How many total 8 foot boards did you use?

[@HomeMadeModern]

I used about 10 but I wasn't very efficient since I was working through the design as I went. I cut 8foot boards down to 7 feet instead of just ordering 7 foot boards. I could have also used more of the scraps from the first cuts to piece together the leg pieces. the slats for the backrest could also be split and spread out more to use less wood.

[@StudioJohm]

HomeMadeModern But now you have high quality hard wood left for smaller projects... win?

[@noconz0727]

1:10 "Four boards..." And three sofa cushions ago.

[@tonylarose4842]

Instead of Jungle wood why not Elm?

[@impjig]

did anyone notice mike from modern builds helping? check his channel he is good

[@LightningGlass]

Bulleit. Nice. They a lowkey sponsor?

[@robertlovesdogs4824]

Hi 👍👍

[@Ejai8202]

He is so handsome.

[@jeffreydlayman]

Please tell Jess that grey and black are entirely too close and at first glance they appear to be the same color. She's got a reputation to uphold.

[@bravemamu]

👍👍👍👍

I wonder where those ants ended up.

[@goldenduck7294]

Looks really bad

[@a.6514]

When Jesus said in the bible: "I'm ascending to my God and your God" What does he mean? a).He is ascending to himself because according to the paul in church jesus is God. b).He is ascending to the true God because he is not God but a man who worship God. c).Both of the above. David, Suleiman and the other messengers of God are called "son of God" in the bible: So it means all of them are God in case someone believes that jesus was God, so do the others? a).They are not God, nor jesus. Because son of God is an inspiration word used for respect etc. b).Yes all of them were God. c).If we call jesus "son of God" it means that: he is a special son of God (begotten) Jesus did not have a father and is this reason good enough to make him a special son of God? a).Yes it is. b).No it is not enough to call someone a special "son of God" and worship him because Adam also didn't have a father nor a mother but we don't worship him because of this reason. c).I still believe jesus is God and i worship him. 👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnTYqaGrlK56i80
