How to Build a Patio Chair - DIY Outdoor Chair Build

[@blendermasterclass8381]

thank god I found you, finally one that showed step by step perfect!

[@0143kenny]

64 Yr old female... followed your plans very happy. If I can do it ....

[@dr.johnandyvonnewagner5067]

Used your side dimensions to build a back yard garden bench. Used the angles from another video. That way I had a sloped seat as well as the back. Used 2x4s for the back and seat instead of 1x4s. Thanks for the help. Turned out really great!

[@kmwrites7456]

I just finished cutting all the pieces and the slot for the front support and will start assembling this week. Thanks so much for the good instruction and plans from a 75-year-old who loves the smell of wood. Hope it looks similar to yours when done.🤞

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear :) Hope it went well!

[@pathardage1880]

I'll give this one a shot. Thanks.

The finished product makes it look like it was hard to make, but this guide shows it’s easy if you know what you’re doing

[@nathanshirley9671]

Cheers from Atlanta! I’m a rookie woodworker but I’ve enjoyed this build thus far

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear from you! I hope all is well down in Atlanta!

[@charlesharakal4892]

Great plans! I used pressure treated lumber because cedar is hard to come by and expensive these days and widened it by 2 inches. I also beefed up the seat and back slats with 5/4 PT deck treads because I had them left over. Very Happy with the outcome. Once it dries out I'll seal it and paint it and it should last a heck of a long time!

[@MrGoblue1131]

Same here. Using treated lumber and having it sit 2 inches higher. I have my kids (and my handyman) building it RN for fathers day. Will last forever and mean tons when my handyman friend is dead and my kids are out of the house. It will be more than a chair to me.

[@anthonyhernandez2076]

Hey man thank you for the video, I couldn't afford the plans but I ended up using your video to get a basic idea to build these beautiful chairs. Thank you so much from a young woodworker. If you need any black walnut slabs let me know brother. Thank you

[@NWWood17]

I recently built a chair that looks like this but I think yours is better. I want to try again following your steps.

great video I made on patio chair from another video and I had a hard time figuring out the angels, I originally wanted to make 4 but I stopped at one because I didn't like that process. I'm going to give this one a try it looks easier to understand thanks

Great work! I'm trying to do this without a table saw and with scrap wood. I love how after the 100 steps, you just say, "and that's all there is to it" at the end. =)

Very nice chairs. Sadly I'm living in country where it's almost impossible to get a inch tape measure. So had to redraw the chair in SketchUp to get consistent metric measurements to build them. All said and done they really nice, even cut the leg shorter on two of them for the mother inlaw that is really short... great, thx

Thanks Cecil

Hi There, I am planning to make the patio chair and I am pretty new at wood work. You mentioned that you can use pocket holes. I have the Kregg Jig and my question is where would you use the pocket holes in the plans.

Thanks you dear Pete for all those interesting proyects, from the point of Southamerica, Chile

I`m retired and have a small shop where I perform woodturning, create musical instruments, and some cabinetry. I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?

I didn`t intend to utilize this woodworking website, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* but rather curious about it. I was truly impressed after trying it. I was looking to find out more about the art of woodworking, and was not dissatisfied. I found several topics such as wood types and designing your workshop.

[@phunphil00]

Nice project! I may have to build a couple of these. The only thing I might consider adding would be decorative supports underneath the armrest overhang. Great job!

I just bought these plans. Appreciate them! Do you find the straight angle of the sitting surface to be ok? Im thinking of modifying them to slope a little from front to back. Thanks again.

is the shopping list for 2 chairs or 1 planning on building this weekend

[@nittany002]

Great video! Quick question, Is there any benefit to finishing the slats before you assemble? Seems like you would have unfinished sides of the boards that moisture could get into. Would that matter?

[@guillermoarchundia3730]

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks! Hi back! :)

[@jimgallahan1069]

Hi Pete. Thanks so much for putting this video together and putting the plans out there for us to use. I was wondering if you thought it would be okay to use 2 inch brad nails instead of screws to fasten the seat and back slats to the 2x4s? Thanks again.

Thanks, and have fun building!

[@chrisnorth]

Great plans, thanks! I had to make one modification - I lack the skills to make the notch in the front legs for the 2x6 (gave up after two tries) so just cut the 2x6 shorter (25”) and used 4” screws from the sides. Seems to hold OK. I made two of them, and (once I got over my roadblock of the notches) they were super easy to build.

Echt gute arbeit , gefällt mir sehr gut...

[@lukezervaas8719]

Just wondering if glue and tac nails would be strong enough to hold the slats in place rather than screws. I have already made 2 of these chairs. Thanks for the design. I have some friends who want me to make some for them and i just wish to save time by not having to fill the screw holes. Cheers.

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear!

[@milwaukeemuscle469]

Nice design, only thing not covered in the video is ensuring that your framing is as square as possible! Otherwise you may run into issues as you progress during the build. I discovered this the hard way when I made the chair. Your initial framing has to be as square as possible!!!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

How much would you say you spent in wood to make one chair? I know prices vary with places, but I was curious in general how much you spent. They look great!

[@samiam7]

If you download the plans, they're free, from his webpage it gives you a complete list of materials and general prices

[@DIYPETE]

Hi! At the time, it was about $125. Unfortunately wood prices have skyrocketed lately, so it's going to be more these days. Cheers!

I have back issues. Is there a way to make it where there's enough room for a pillow on the seat and back? Great chair!!

[@DIYPETE]

Hi Amy! Thanks for watching. I know a lot of folks have added seat cushions to the chair and back without issues.

[@junkmail6222]

Is this big enough for cushions? I don’t see the measurements so I’m wondering if cushions would push you too far forward?

[@tandymenefee4719]

Pete. I made 2 of the chairs. really like them. I want them to lean back. what angle do I cut the legs. I assume all four need to be cut. don't want to take them apart and don't want to mess them up. thanks

[@DIYPETE]

Hi Tandy! To get them to lean back, you'd need to make a greater angle then I use for the back rest boards. I unfortunately don't have the exact angles you might want, but I think if you experiment with them a bit you'll be able to find a good fit. Best of luck!

[@tandymenefee4719]

thanks .I will try that
