Terms of use of garden furniture

In order for the furniture you make yourself to serve you for a long time, the design must meet certain parameters.

Transportability	As a rule, wooden chairs are used for outdoor recreation, under the open sky. In case of sudden weather changes, the chair can be conveniently moved under a canopy if it is transportable.
Selection of quality raw materials	One of the important conditions in the manufacture of the chair yourself, plays the role of hardwood. Despite the high pricing policy, the result of the design due to the quality material will be excellent. Such species include: aspen, oak, pine, cedar.
Maximum protection from atmospheric influences	Long-term exposure of the chair to direct sunlight or heavy rain leads to deterioration of the external condition. Preparation for protecting the finished chair begins at the earliest stages of construction. High-quality, dry lumber is the key to success. If you initially bought low-quality raw materials, dry the boards during the work. Sand, soak the blanks with an antiseptic, apply hot drying oil. At the final stage, after the finished product has completely dried, it must be varnished. The material is ready to start work.

The process of making a chair with your own hands: step-by-step instructions

Creating the Basic Parts

As a rule, work begins with a preliminary stage — preparation of the main elements. Having a drawing with detailed tips will facilitate the further process of making a wooden chair with your own hands.

The most difficult and time-consuming process is making the seat side supports. It is necessary to make a full-size template of the side support on cardboard.

support drawing — Drawing of the side support of a garden chair.

1) Draw the first side of the part, lifting the segment on the left, then the next two at the appropriate angle.

2) We mark a perpendicular segment, heading towards point A.

3) Mark point C and draw a cutout under the cross brace.

4) Extend the bottom side with a line, marking an angle of 75 degrees, with the vertex C.

5) Draw an arc, measuring the angle at point D. The radius of the arc is 116 mm. Connect the points with a segment.

6) Using a square grid, draw roundings between points A and B.

7) Place the resulting template on a wooden board. Trace the outline of the part, prepare for cutting.

To cut straight sections, you need to use a saw; to cut out curved sections, a jigsaw is perfect.

IMPORTANT! To reduce chipping of the cedar board, the cutting blade of the tool must be moved in the direction of the grain!

After transferring the finished drawing to the board, we will mark out a similar one, according to the first diagram, using the already cut out part.

If you don't have a ready-made armrest template, no problem! The circumference is not important.

1) It is necessary to make wedge-shaped supports for the armrests using a saw, beveling the top edges by 6 degrees.

armrest support — To make it easier to connect the parts, use a clamp.

2) Carefully screw the supports to the front legs. Use glue and screws to fasten them together.

3) We cut out the armrests and the back support.

4) Using sandpaper, we clean the ends of the finished part.

5) We cut off the ends of the support.

6) We press the rear support piece to the back.

7) We mill the edges of surfaces.

armrest supports — Attaching armrests to a wedge-shaped support.

IMPORTANT! Glue plays an important role when making a garden chair with your own hands. Heat-resistant wood glue, unlike the common and frequently used PVA glue, will not lose its properties under the influence of high temperatures, moisture, will not dry out and will not crumble. For this reason, we recommend using heat-resistant glue to create a wooden product.

Assembling the parts

Before assembly, each part must be carefully coated with a triple layer of antiseptic to preserve the internal surfaces. After processing the material, you can proceed to the next stages.

We align the finished parts, having previously marked the drilling points.

We cut out the parts exactly along the marked outline.
We make holes for bolts and aWe carefully fasten the parts.

Please note that the strength of the seat will depend on the placement of the boards.
We install the rear leg perpendicular to the bevel of the support (like the first one, we assemble the second side of the frame), withWe connect the side parts of the wooden chair with the lower crossbar of the back and the first seat plank.

The ends of the planks and the opposite ends of the legs should match, which will indicate the correct position of the back.
We install the supports.We fix the supports with clamps.
The joint will be tight, which is what we need.
We fix the upper guide of the back with screws, trying to align it with the lower crossbar.We draw a line on all the cross boards, as well as on the chair back plate, then drill a guide hole, holding the plate.
Then we secure the top with slats and evenly fix all the planks in turn.
We draw the rounding radius by cutting the planks according to the markings.
Having chosen the correct width of the final strip, we place it in place of the seat.
We carefully sand the edges, upper surfaces of the back and seats.We close the screws with wooden plugs and sand. Using hot drying oil or oil impregnation, we process the finished wooden chair.
