Sun Lounge
un Lounge with Planters
The combination planter and sun lounge shown here makes an attractive addition to any
patio, deck, or pool. A standard chaise—lounge cushion—available almost anywhere—fits the
lounge easily, and the planters on both ends are large enough to hold a wealth of cheerful
flowers or greenery.

Notes on Materials
If the finished project will be exposed to the elements, choose materials, hardware, glue and a
wood finish that are suited for exterior use. We used pressure-treated pine to build our sun
lounge, but redwood, western cedar, or other exterior-grade woods make good substitutes.
Depending upon the type of wood you buy (each is likely to have a different finish cut), you may
need to trim the plywood base and bottom of the planter to fit properly.

Making the Planter Sides
1. The six sides (one long, one medium, and four short) of each planter are different widths
and contain different numbers of 1 x 4s. The long side has six 1 x 4s, the medium side has
three, and the four short sides have two each. To start building the twelve sides for both
planters, first cut thirty-four 23”-long sides (A) from 1 x 4 pine.
2. Cut four long supports (B) from 1 x 3 pine, each measuring 21” long.
3. Lay six of the side pieces (A) on a level surface, positioning them parallel to each other as
shown in
Figure 1
. Adjust the spacing between the side pieces (A) so that the total width is
exactly 22-1/2”. Glue one long support (B) flush with the ends of all six side pieces (A).
Note that there is a ¾” inset at each end of this long support (B). Secure the long support
(B) to the side pieces (A) by inserting two 1-1/4” screws through the long support (B) and
into each side piece (A).
4. Attach the remaining long support (B), 7-3/4” from the other ends of the six side pieces (A),
as shown in
Figure 1
and described in Step 3.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to construct another
long side for the second planter.
6. Cut four 10”-long medium supports (C)
from 1 x 4 pine.
Figure 1
7. The medium sides, one for each planter
are constructed in the same manner as the
long sides—but each one contains only
three side pieces (A) and these are spaced
differently. Lay three side pieces (A)
parallel to each other on a level surface.
Adjust the spacing between them so that
the total width is exactly 11-1/2”. Glue
and attach the medium supports (C) as
explained in Steps 3 and 4, leaving a ¾”
overlap at each end of each medium
support (C).
8. Repeat Step 7 to make another medium side for the second planter.
9. Cut sixteen 6”-long short supports (D) from 1 x 4 pine.
3
10. Lay two side pieces (A) parallel to each other on a level surface. Adjust the spacing
between the side pieces (A) so that the total width is exactly 7-1/2”. Attach two short
supports (D) to the two side pieces (A), following the instructions in Steps 3 and 4.
11. Repeat Step 10 seven more times to build all the short sides for both planters.
Adding the Bottoms and Bases
1. Using
Figure 2
as a guide cut four identical pieces from ¾-thick exterior-grade plywood.
Two pieces will be bases (E) and two will be bottoms (F) for the planters.
Figure 2
Figure 3
2. To allow for drainage, drill five 1”-diameter holes in each base (E) and bottom (F), as
shown in
Figure 2.
The exact placement of these holes is not important.

3. To attach each base (E) to each side assembly, first position the base over the lower
supports (B, C and D), as shown in
Figure 3
. If necessary, trim the base to fit. Glue the
base (E) in place and insert 1-1/4” screws through it and into the edges of the supports (B,
C, and D), using two screws at each joint. Also insert two 1-1/4” screws through each of
the side pieces (A) and into the edges of each base (E).
4. Fit a planter bottom (F) into each assembly, as shown in
Figure 3
, making certain that the
bottom rests evenly on its supports (B, C, and D) and is level inside the assembly. Glue the
bottom (F) in place and insert two 1-1/4” screws through it and into each of the supports (B,
C, and D). Also insert two screws through each of the side pieces (A) and into the edges of
each bottom.
Completing the Planter
1. Measure carefully and cut lengths of trim (G) from 1 x 3 pine to cover the exposed top
edges of the planters, as shown in
Figure 4
. Note that some of the trim pieces (G) must be
mitered at a 22-1/2-degree angle on one or both ends.
Figure 4
2. Flue the trim pieces (G) to the exposed upper ends of the planter side pieces (A). Secure
the trim in place with 3d finishing nails spaced about 2” apart.
Constructing the Sun Lounge Frame
1. Cut two long frames (H) from 1 x 4 pine, each 72’ long.
2. Cut two short frames (I) from 1 x 4 pine, each 21’ long.
3. Place the two long frames (H) on a level surface, parallel to each other, on edge, and 21”
apart. Glue the two short frames (I) between the ends of the long frames, as shown in
Figure 5.
Then insert 1-1/4” screws through the long frames (H) and into the ends of the
short frames (I), using two screws at each joint.
