asic Patio Chair
This patio chair is a real success story. Not only is it extremely inexpensive to make, but
it’s good-looking and incredibly comfortable. This one is made from pressure-treated 2 x 4 and
1 x 6 lumber, but you could also make it using redwood. Use waterproof glue if you plan to
leave the finished chair exposed to the elements.

Constructing the Sides
1. From 2 x 4 treated lumber, cut one 21”-long chair arm (A), two chair legs (B), each 28” long,
and one 14”-long side support (C).
2. Setting the chair arm (A) on its face, miter both ends at a 45-degree angle as shown in Figure
1.
3. Setting each chair leg (B) on its face, miter just one
end at a 45-degree angle (also shown in Figure 1 ).
4. To assemble one chair side, place the side support
(C) between the chair legs (B), and the chair arm (A)
between the two mitered ends of the two chair legs
(B). (This is illustrated in Figure 1 ). Glue and screw
them in place using one 4-1/2” screw for each end of
the arm, screwing through the edge of the chair arm
(A) into the mitered end of the adjacent chair leg
(B). Then, with another 4-1/2” screw for each leg,
screw through the edge of the chair leg (B) into the
mitered end of the chair arm (A).
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to assemble a second chair
side.

Constructing the Seat
1. From 2 x 4 treated lumber, cut one 18-1/2”-long seat front (D), two seat sides (E), each 19-
1/2” long, and one 15-1/2” long seat back (F).
2. Assemble the seat according to the illustration in Figure 2 . Use two 2-1/2” screws on each
end of the overlapping boards. Note that the front (D) extends over the ends of the sides
(E), and the back (F) fits between the sides (E).
3. As shown in Figure 3 , attach the assembled seat
between the two chair sides 14-1/2” from the
bottom ends of the chair legs (B). Use two 4-
1/2”-long screws driven through the face of each
leg to secure the seat.

4. Cut four slats (G) from 1 x 6 treated lumber,
each 18-1/2” long. Place them side by side on
top of the seat assembly, with their ends facing
the chair sides (See Figure 4 ). The slats should
overhang both the front and back of the chair by
about ½ inch. Secure the four slats by gluing
and screwing them to the seat assembly with 1-
1/4”-long screws. (TIP: It looks much nicer if
you draw a line on the slats from the front of the
chair to the back – about 1 inch from the slat
ends—and place all of your screws on that line.)
Put two screws on each end of a slat, and space
them uniformly on all of the slats.
Adding the Chair Back
1. Cut two back supports (H) from 2 x 4 treated lumber, each 14-1/2” long. Then set your saw
blade to cut 15 degrees off vertical, and bevel one end of each support to allow the
assembled back to lean slightly backwards. (If you’re unsure about how to make a bevel
cut, refer to the Tips and Techniques located on the home page.
2. Cut three back slats I) from 1 x 6 treated lumber, each 18-1/2” long.
3. Assemble the chair back by attaching the three back slats (I) to the two back supports (H).
The ends of the back slats (I) should be flush with the faces of the two back supports (H).
As shown in Figure 4, the slats should be flush at the beveled end and extend
approximately 1-1/2” over the other end of the back support (H). Again, draw a line to
guide your screw placement, and use two 1-1/4” long screws on each end of each slat.

4. Fit the assembled back between the chair
sides so that the beveled ends of the back
supports (H) rest on the rear chair slat (G).
Attach the back of the chair by screwing
through the chair sides into the back support
(H). Use two or three 4-1/2”-long screws
through each side.
Finishing
1. Sand the completed chair carefully (splinters
on a chair can prove to be most
uncomfortable).
2. Stain or paint the chair the color of your
choice using exterior-grade finishing
materials.
