Sun lounger made of wood. How to make a sun lounger with your own hands

The best way to relax after gardening is to lie on a sun lounger and drink juice. At the same time, it is important whether such a chair will fit into the surroundings and whether it will give a feeling of peace. If you can't buy furniture for a summer residence, then you can do it yourself.

But even before make a sun lounger yourself, you need to choose the type of this country furniture. You should also take into account that the masters do not recommend using plastic as the basis for a sun lounger due to the lack of quality and fragility of this material. But the wooden base, even and smooth, will fit perfectly, although such a chair will be heavy. But this disadvantage can be compensated for by rollers installed on the legs of the chaise lounge.

The type of this furniture depends on the design of the chaise lounge, namely:

1. Monolithic sun lounger.
2. Monolithic chaise longue with inserts.
3. Portable product.
4. Chaise lounge chair on a base made of metal.

A monolithic chaise longue is a chair, the constituent parts of which are connected together during the manufacture of the product and they can no longer be disassembled. Such furniture is durable, durable and can withstand significant stress. But this sun lounger is not very convenient to use. You cannot change the backrest tilt in it, it cannot be folded, therefore it is very difficult to move from one place to another.

Monolithic chaise longue with inserts- this type of country furniture, made with one's own hand, will certainly be beautiful, aesthetically attractive and neat. But these additionally inserted parts, which can be made of different materials, reduce the strength and reliability of the entire product.

A portable product, the design of which is provided a mechanism that allows you to quickly and easily change the position and configuration of the entire sun lounger... The tilt of the footrest, the tilt of the headrest and the back of the chair can be changed. Moreover, such a product can be folded and made compact when transported to the country.

Chaise lounge on a base made of metal. It is difficult to do this type of country furniture on your own, therefore it is usually bought ready-made. This product has a frame made of aluminum or steel, and a canvas made of fabric is already attached to it. This holiday product is lightweight, compact, dirt-resistant and easy to carry.

What you need to work

In order to independently make a country chaise lounge from wood, the following tools and materials should be available:

For hand-made sun loungers it is best to use wood sheets ate or other needles. Such material is moisture resistant and is not subject to the negative influence of temperature extremes. Such wood is sold in building materials sales centers or made to order from carpenters.

The dimensions of the chaise lounge and the beginning of the process of its creation

Chaise longue made of wooden material can be done with the size of your body or the size of the future owner... But you can use the standard size of the product, namely, sixty by one hundred and ninety centimeters. First you need to make all the necessary drawings. So, do-it-yourself sun lounger drawings can be found on our website.

After you have decided on the dimensions, you can start making a chaise longue: form the sides of the chaise lounge from beams and form the frame of the product, securing its parts with the help of corners; upholstery with boards on all external sides of the created frame; carry out the following stages of product assembly.

Stages of work on the independent creation of a country chaise lounge

It is necessary to make the preparation of the legs of the chaise longue from the bars of the required height. The standard height for the legs of the product is about five to ten centimeters, but if necessary, you can use a different height.

At a distance of five to seven centimeters from the edges of the long bars, you need to fix the legs long screws. In the center of the legs, fix the rollers with smaller screws (about three centimeters).

Use an electric jigsaw to cut parts of the lattice for a summer cottage, made by yourself. The most a suitable size for slats is considered to be eight by sixty centimeters... Then you should screw the strips to the frame of the chaise longue for giving with spacers to obtain the required gaps (from one to two centimeters). After completing all these steps, the chaise longue must be sanded and painted.

If a decision is made to make a sun lounger on your own, which will be folding, then the wood grate will need to be divided into two parts, connecting them then with hinges for doors. Moreover, it is necessary to remember about the fastener bar, which should rest on a rack fixed with screws.

The process of creating a chaise longue based on a dense fabric frame

One of the most popular and at the same time simple way to independently create a country chaise lounge is to make it from dense fabric on a frame. For summer cottages, this is a light and very comfortable product that can very quickly be transformed from a chaise longue into a chair and back into a lounger.

Materials and tools for work:

It is necessary to use a dense fabric that is resistant to wear and tear, to the effects of water, to the influence of the sun. It can be denim, canvas, tarpaulin. In this case, the slats should be birch, oak or beech (since they are hard and durable).

To make a light summer chaise lounge yourself, you need to prepare slats of the required length and grind them. And then all the details should be collected.

Stages of work on assembling the product

Follows a drill make holes on long slats for selected bolts(from the edges you need to retreat from seven to ten centimeters); all defects must be sanded off with a file. Holes must be drilled at the head of the frame in order to be able to change the position of the back.

In order to make a seat, two more holes should be drilled at the ends of the long rails; their diameters should coincide with the diameters of the round rails; for their more reliable fixing, the ends should be coated with polyvinyl acetate glue.

Then you need to combine the structures with screws that go through the upper holes, and then fasten.

After that, you need to stretch the fabric, wrap its edges on the crossbars and sew it with a strong thread (if this is done before the final assembly of the chaise longue, it can be done on a sewing machine by stitching the fabric).

Kentucky armchair

This chair is original, it is completely assembled from bars. It can be folded up and put away for storage.

To make your own Kentucky chair you will need the following materials:

The assembly of the Kentucky chair is as follows. Ready the bars should be processed to give them strength and beauty as well as to protect from UV rays, water and wind. For this, the wood is treated with stain (Beyts). For the sun lounger, you should purchase an outdoor stain based on oil and wax. You can use a parquet oil that will work with any wood product.

After completing the preparation of all the bars, you need to clean all their faces with fine-grained sandpaper.

It is very pleasant to relax in the fresh air after a hard day's work. In order for the rest to be as comfortable as possible, special sun loungers - sun loungers can be placed on the site.

They should be comfortable and fit well with the overall design of your garden. Currently, many retail chains and online stores offer a huge assortment of country sun loungers, but it is much more pleasant to make them yourself.

In this article, we will provide a detailed guide to the construction of wooden and fabric sun loungers, talk about how to protect them from moisture and pests.

Types of sun loungers

Before you start making a sun lounger, you should consider the main types of country sun loungers. There are a lot of them, let's dwell on the most popular ones:

1. Wooden sun loungers... Wood is one of the most environmentally friendly materials, it is absolutely safe for human health. On sale you can find wooden sun loungers of various shapes and designs: from with a reclining back to full-fledged sun loungers that follow the curves of the human body. The disadvantages of such sun loungers are the rigidity of the material and the rather laborious movement of sun loungers around the site;
2. Plastic sun loungers... If you have chosen this option for yourself, then it will be much easier to purchase a ready-made sun lounger and, if desired, decorate it to your liking. The advantages of plastic sun loungers are relatively low cost, ease of maintenance and mobility. Plastic is a fairly light material and, moreover, is not afraid of moisture;
3. Chaise lounges from pallets... Pallets or pallets are called stands designed to move various goods. Most often, pallets are made from planks. A fairly comfortable chaise longue can be made from old pallets;
4. Fabric sun loungers... Loungers of this type are very easy to store and move. The basis of the fabric chaise lounge is a folding wooden or metal frame with a seat sewn into it. The disadvantage of such a chaise longue is only the fragility of the fabric.

Of course, these are not all types of sun loungers, there are also sun loungers in the form, models of wicker branches and even chaise lounges for cats and dogs. The choice depends only on your preferences. Next, we will focus on the process of making a wooden and frame lounger.

Making a wooden deck chair

Materials and tools

We need the following materials and tools:

• wooden slabs, the thickness of which is 20 mm;
• timber 40x40 mm for the frame;
• boards for sheathing the frame, 2.5 cm wide;
• jigsaw and screwdriver;
• 4 corners for fastening boards;
• self-tapping screws.

How to make a sun lounger out of wood

Consider the main stages of assembling a wooden lounger:

1. 1. Starting to manufacture, you need to decide on the dimensions of the future sun lounger. For convenience, you can make a drawing of a sunbed or find a ready-made one on the Internet. Most often, the design has a size of 60x200 cm;
   2. The next step will be making the frame. To do this, you need to make 4 sidewalls from the bars: 2 long, 200 cm long and two shorter - 60 cm, respectively. To fasten the sidewalls, we need mounting angles;
   3. The outer part of the frame is sheathed with a board, the width of which is 2.5 cm;
   4. We fix 4 legs on the long sidewalls, stepping back from the edges of the structure by 8 cm.

1. When the frame is completely ready, we proceed to the assembly of the lattice - the main part of the lounger. From the prepared wooden plates, boards with a width of 60x10 cm are cut with an electric jigsaw;
2. The finished boards are attached with self-tapping screws to the chaise longue frame. Do not forget to leave a distance of 1-2.5 cm between the boards so that the lounger grill has a neat and aesthetic appearance;
3. If you want to assemble a chaise longue with an adjustable back, then the grille should be divided into two parts. One of them will act as a lounger, and the other as a headboard. We install both parts on the connecting boards. It is best to fasten the lattice elements using door hinges;
4. In order for the headboard to be fixed in a certain position, a transverse bar is fixed from the inner edge of the frame. A support stand for the headboard is attached to it with self-tapping screws (it is better to purchase a ready-made stand in a hardware store).

The chaise longue is ready, all boards should be sanded and covered with linseed oil or a special coating to protect against moisture.

Making a sun lounger from fabric

Materials and tools

To build a frame lounger made of fabric material, you must have the following in stock:

• Rectangular boards 30x60 cm thick (two boards 1200 mm long, two 1000 and two 600 mm);
• Round strips 2 cm thick (one strip should be 700 mm long, two 650 and two 550 mm);
• A piece of sturdy fabric measuring 200x60 cm;
• Bolts and nuts 8 mm each;
• Sandpaper

Stages of work

Consider the installation of a frame lounger in stages:

1. 1. In order for the chaise longue to fold easily, three frames must be assembled from prepared and cut slats. Frame A with a size of 120x65 cm, frame B - 100x60 cm and frame B - 70x60 cm. Holes should be made in the longitudinal slats at a distance of 75 and 45 cm. In frame B, it is necessary to make 2-4 cutouts, at a distance of 6-10 cm, to adjust the angle of inclination of the lounger. A detailed diagram of the manufacture of frames is shown in the figure;
   2. To assemble the frame of the sunbed, frames A and B must be fastened to each other using screws that are inserted into the pre-drilled holes in the slats. Frames A and B are fastened in the same way;
   3. After making the frame, the seat of the future lounger is cut out and sewn. To determine the appropriate length of material, the fabric is applied to the bed in a folded position. The fabric should be in a slightly taut position, but no effort is needed at the same time;

1. The edges of the material are necessarily processed and hemmed to increase its wear resistance;
2. We attach the fabric to the round strips that are located on frames A and B. You need to wrap the strips with fabric and fasten with small nails. You can make loops on the prepared fabric and simply put them on the slats.

As you can see, the folding sun lounger is also quite easy to assemble yourself.

How to process a finished deck chair

To make the chaise longue last you longer, you can use the following material processing techniques, both during manufacture and during operation:

• Special impregnations and antiseptics for wood will help protect wooden sun loungers from the negative effects of the external environment (moisture, decay, harmful insects). Wood materials are best processed before installing the structure;
• Varnish, drying oil, paint. These coatings will also help extend the life of your wooden deck chairs. It is best to coat the product with any of these products immediately after manufacture;
• Water-repellent impregnation for fabrics. Will help increase the wear resistance of fabrics and retain bright colors. The effectiveness of such impregnations is maintained for 2-4 weeks.

Where to buy a ready-made sun lounger

Currently, there are no problems with buying ready-made sun loungers. You can find them in various furniture stores and online stores. There are both budget options and original design models of outdoor loungers.

The cost will depend on the size and materials of manufacture:

• Prices for wooden sun loungers vary from 6,000 to 15,000 rubles;
• Plastic sun loungers will cost you less, from 1,500 to 9,000 rubles;
• Folding frame sun loungers also do not differ in high cost, they will cost you about 1350-9500 rubles.

For information on how to inexpensively make a wooden deck chair with your own hands, see this video.

Sun loungers are used in the country house, suburban area, beach and other recreation areas. You can make a sunbed with your own hands from various materials. The product will be unique and convenient, but for this it is worth choosing the material and technology.

Sun lounger design

The compact chaise longue is a light and simple bed that can be carried from place to place. The design assumes a slightly raised headboard, and the word "chaise longue" is translated as "long chair". This designation accurately describes the elongated seat that distinguishes the chaise lounge. And also furniture can be folding, transforming, but the common option is a low recliner chair with a raised back.

Views

The main parameter, depending on which the loungers are classified, is the material. Wooden models that are easy to make on your own are in demand. Furniture can be simple, straight, and the bases that follow the contours of the body are very comfortable. Easy fixation of the backrest position, retractable shelves, comfortable armrests and stable legs make wooden chaise lounges comfortable and practical. The presence of wheels makes it easier to transport furniture. At the same time, wooden models are environmentally friendly, safe and durable.

Plastic models are distinguished by an affordable price, easy maintenance during operation, convenience and versatility. The furniture is lightweight and the design options are varied. Simple sunbeds are affordable and optimal for summer cottages. Original designer models have a higher price and good performance.

Wicker chaise lounges have a metal frame on which a wicker fabric is stretched. The frame can also have a fabric backing. Such models often have a folding design, are mobile and convenient. To create wicker models, natural or synthetic vine, rattan are used. In models with a fabric base, a durable and high-quality fabric is used.

Depending on the type of construction, sun loungers are classified into several types. A suspended version is in demand. It includes stands and base. An umbrella can complement the set, but in any case, the seating position is suspended from the racks. Therefore, the supporting elements must be as reliable as possible and are often made of metal.

Folding models are made of various materials: wood, plastic, wicker, metal with a fabric base. Products are convenient because they are easy to fold and transport. This allows you to remove furniture in bad weather, as well as conveniently store the sun lounger. All rotary mechanisms of the structure are reliable and safe.

The lounger chair is convenient because it allows you to sit down as comfortably as possible, but at the same time not being in the "lying" position. The seat can be transformed, lengthening or shortening if necessary. Chairs can be folding or ordinary. The furniture is comfortable both inside the living quarters and in the country or near the pool.

Photo gallery: options

Comfortable sunbeds are varied and differ in appearance, which plays an important role in the selection. Photos of furniture allow you to determine the desired option.

The original base makes the chaise longue unusual and stylish. The chaise longue is better to be installed indoors.

Scheme and dimensions

When creating, you can make a standard size lounger, which is 60x190 cm. Individual parameters are determined depending on the weight and dimensions of the user. After determining the size of the product, you need to develop a design drawing, taking into account the type of product. For example, it's easy to make a wooden chaise lounge with your own hands, and the drawing includes images of all elements with an indication of their dimensions, as well as the holes for their fastening.

A drawing of a product from other materials is performed according to the same principle, that is, taking into account the parameters of each part. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the design of the supporting elements, which should be as reliable as possible. For example, for a chaise longue made of round or shaped pipes, the pipe diameter should be specified in the diagram. Each mount and hole, movable mechanisms are also reflected in the drawing.

Suitable material

You can make a chaise lounge not only from new material, but also from improvised means. The table shows popular material options, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

Material selection principles

Wooden planks and planks serve as a good base for a sunbed. For work, you should select dry elements, without holes and knots, without rotten areas. The comfort and durability of the chaise longue depends on the quality of the material. It is also important to take into account the parameters of the furniture, that is, the thickness and length of each part. Cutting of large boards can be carried out either manually or with the help of carpentry equipment.

The original solution is a chaise longue made of polyurethane or plastic pipes, which are used to organize water supply. For furniture, elements with an outer diameter of 25 mm or more are best suited. This will allow you to make a reliable sunbed. To connect pipes, use a special soldering machine and various corners, adapters.

Round metal pipes are characterized by intricate machining. To create a chaise longue, they need to be bent very carefully, and the elements are connected with bolts. The diameter of the pipes must be at least 20–25 mm. For aluminum parts, this figure increases.

When choosing any material, it is important to pay attention to its quality. Surface defects, heterogeneous structure, dents indicate poor quality. Such material will not make it easy to make a chaise longue for a summer residence with your own hands. Therefore, the boards or pipes must be new, level and reliable.

Determination of the amount of material

The calculation of the amount of material required for work is carried out depending on the size of the furniture. Therefore, you first need to make a drawing, which reflects all the components of the structure and indicates their dimensions. It is important to take into account the thickness or diameter of the elements. For example, to create a sun lounger made of wood, you should take bars and boards with a margin, since additional material may be required during the work. Self-tapping screws, swivel mechanisms and other types of fastening should be selected with a small margin.

Instruments

To make a sun lounger from wood, simple tools are needed that even a novice master can use. These are the following:

• sheets or sandpaper for sanding wood surfaces;
• tape measure and building level;
• large and medium-sized screws;
• screwdriver, jigsaw;
• brush, varnish or paint.

In the process of work, they use a wooden glued board and bars, drills of different thicknesses, several roller mechanisms, metal corners. The bars should be cut in advance according to the drawing, which will significantly speed up the assembly process of the sun lounger.

Do-it-yourself sun lounger made of wood: photos, drawings and work progress

Before starting work, you need to prepare a drawing, tools and materials, cut the bars. The procedure is as follows:

1. The prepared beams are attached according to the drawing, but holes for the screws must first be made in them. The connection of the bars to each other is carried out using metal corners, which are used when assembling beds. Then, bars are prepared for the legs, the height of which is often 5–10 cm. The legs are fixed at a short distance from the edges of the frame, and this requires long screws;
2. A roller is attached to each leg, and for this, screws up to 5 cm long are used.After preparing the frame, strips should be made. To do this, cut thin planks with a jigsaw, the size of which is 8x60 cm. Next, the planks must be screwed to the frame with screws, creating a lattice. The distance between the planks must be at least 1 cm;
3. It is necessary to connect the elements of the chaise lounge using rollers. Further, the structure is treated with antifungal compounds and coated with varnish or paint;
4. The result of the work is a folding comfortable sun lounger. The furniture is optimal for giving or rest, as it is practical to use and compact in storage.

Sun lounger finish

A wooden lounger or a folding deck chair does not require any special finishing, but sanding and varnishing is a must. This is due to the fact that wood of any species easily absorbs moisture and dirt. This leads to the loss of the appearance of the furniture. For sanding wooden furniture, sandpaper of medium to fine structure is used. The surfaces, the corners of the bars are processed manually in a circular motion. Next, the furniture is covered with a protective agent for wood, and after it dries, paint or varnish is applied with a brush.

What is the perfect way to end a busy and tiring day outdoors? The best way to unwind after gardening is to relax on a sun lounger with a glass of freshly squeezed juice in hand. At the same time, it is very important that the chaise longue fits perfectly into the surroundings and gives a feeling of peace and tranquility. Can't find suitable outdoor furniture in stores? Then it's time to learn how to do it yourself.

Types of sun loungers for summer cottages

Before you make a sun lounger yourself, you should decide on its type. However, experts advise not to experiment, using modern plastic materials as a basis, which are of poor quality and fragility. Better look for a quality wooden base with a flat, smooth surface. The only drawback of such a property will be its large weight, but this problem can be solved by installing the rollers on the legs.

Materials for work

To make a sun lounger out of wood with your own hands, you need to prepare the following materials and tools:

• a slab of glued wood, the thickness of which will be at least 2 cm;
• boards (0.25 cm) and beams (0.45 × 0.45 cm) for finishing work and creating a frame;
• electrical appliances (jigsaw, screwdriver, drill);
• drills with a diameter of 0.4 cm;
• 4 rollers 10 cm each;
• corners (as for attaching a bed);
• sanding sheets;
• varnish and paint for decorating the structure and protecting it from damage.

For homemade sun loungers, it is better to use sheets of spruce or other coniferous wood. They perfectly resist moisture and are not afraid of sudden changes in temperature. These materials can be bought directly from construction centers or custom-made from a cabinetmaker (joiner).

Product dimensions and getting started

You can make a wooden chaise longue in accordance with the dimensions of your body or according to the individual sizes of future owners. Or you can stop at the standard size - 60 × 190 cm.After the dimensions have been determined, you can start working:

• form the sidewalls from the beams and fold the frame of the structure, attaching the parts with corners;
• finish each outer side of the finished frame with prepared boards;
• proceed with further assembly.

Stages of creation sun loungers for giving with their own hands

1. Make blanks for the legs of the product using the bars of the desired height. Usually they are about 5-10 cm high, but other sizes can be chosen.
2. At a distance of 5-7 cm from the edges of the long bars, fix the legs using long screws.
3. Attach a roller in the center of each leg. To do this, you need to take screws of a shorter length (about 3 cm in length).
4. Using an electric jigsaw, start slicing the grille elements to create your own sun lounger. The most suitable size for planks is 8 × 60 cm.
5. Start screwing the planks to the lounger frame using special spacers to create perfect gaps (1-2 cm will be enough).
6. After assembling the structure, it must be sanded and painted in a suitable color.

If you decide to make a folding sun lounger with your own hands, divide the wooden lattice into two parts, which can then be connected with ordinary door hinges. At the same time, it is important not to forget about an important detail - the fastening bar. It should rest on a screw-secured post.

Below is the drawing for the lounger lounger:

Making a chaise longue on a frame basis using dense fabric

Another popular and uncomplicated way of making a do-it-yourself chaise lounge is a chaise longue made of material on the frame. This is a light and convenient summer cottage option, which with one movement of your hand can be turned from a lounger into a chair and vice versa.

• high-quality dense material 2 × 0.5m;
• drill;
• bolts and nuts of a suitable diameter;
• PVA glue;
• abrasive paper "zero";
• round file.

Choose a fabric that is durable and resistant to sunlight and moisture. Jeans, canvas or tarpaulin are ideal. It is better to take slats from oak, birch or beech (they have increased hardness and strength).

To make light sun loungers for a summer residence with your own hands, you need to prepare the slats of the required length and grind them.

Assembly stages

• you need to drill holes suitable for the selected bolts on each long rail, always retreating 7-10 cm from their edges; all irregularities should be immediately sanded with a needle file until smooth surfaces are formed;

• several holes should be drilled at the head of the frame (indicated in the figure "B") for the subsequent adjustment of the inclination of the seat back;
• to create a seat, you need to make two more holes at the ends of the long slats; their diameter should coincide with the diameter of the prepared round strips (in this case - 2 cm); in order for the slats to hold tight, their ends should be greased with PVA glue;
• combine the structure "A" and "B" using the screws passing through the upper holes, then in the same way combine the resulting module with the element "B";
• stretch the fabric by wrapping the edges on the rungs and making several seams with strong threads (this procedure can be done even before the final assembly of the product, then the material can be sewn using a conventional sewing machine).

A chaise longue is a comfortable and lightweight chair design that is used in recreation areas: on the beaches, by the pools, an integral part of the dacha decoration. It can be used to relax after a hard day at work, caress yourself in the sun or take a nap under the shade of the local trees, away from the prying eyes of the inhabitants.

In this article, we will talk with you about how you can make an ordinary wooden deck chair, we will give examples of photos, videos and instructions.

How to make a sun lounger with your own hands?

First, we choose the appropriate type and modification of the sun lounger. The main material can be plastic, wood, synthetic fabric and aluminum. We have chosen the most affordable version of a sun lounger made of wood.

Type of tree for a sun lounger

The choice of a tree is based on the following principles:

• material opportunities;
• preferences of the future owner:
• garden style;
• available materials at hand.

Choosing the future wood for your chaise longue, you pay attention to the mechanical properties of a particular type of wood. For example, the most durable wood species are: ash, oak, larch and beech. With them, the design will delight you for many years. Wood is distinguished not only by the durability of its service, but also by its aesthetic component.

In turn, finished products from noble wood species are not the cheapest pleasure for the buyer. Such a thing is not always available to the average consumer who is trying to save any extra penny, because money is not superfluous. Before assembling the sun lounger with your own hands, look at the blueprints for the sun lounger.

Type of wooden deck chair

A hand-made chaise longue will not only be an example of prudent spending of the family budget, but will also add a zest to the appearance of your fabulous summer cottage garden.

In magazines and newspapers, countless drawings, projects and ready-made solutions for wooden sun loungers have accumulated. The sizes of the homemade sun loungers are identical to the industrial models.

A folding sun lounger is much more comfortable than a regular one. It is easy to move around the territory, and in winter it can be folded and removed, even cloudy weather will not create any obstacles.

Preparation and manufacture of a sun lounger

Parts purchased in advance for the structures of the future chaise longue must be processed, we impregnate the wood with an antiseptic and an anti-corrosion compound. We grind the surface to a perfectly smooth state. We put the resulting details aside and proceed to study the drawing.

If you turn to the latter, you will notice that the crossbars are fixed to the lower part of the legs. They allow you to fix the back in the desired position. When installing only one strip, it is first necessary to make cuts at the installation sites of the strips with a step of 5 cm, starting from 20 centimeters.

The backrest frame should have bolt attachment points, we retreat from the edge on each side by 41 centimeters, and at the very base of the seat - 43 centimeters indent from above.

First you need to assemble the backrest frame. The main load will be transferred to the bar 20 x 60 x 610 mm, so pay special attention to securing it. It should be recorded as efficiently as possible. It is customary to leave a distance of 1 centimeter between the slats. It will be needed to secure the fabric in the future.

Using the instructions described above, we assemble the main frame. Then, we connect 2 frames together - the back and the seat. Pay attention to the backrest frame, it is necessary to drill a hole on it from 2 sides, the distance is 41 centimeters for the backrest and 43 centimeters for the seat. Screw the two pieces together using nuts and bolts.

Attention! During regular use of the chair, the nuts may gradually loosen and loosen. To avoid this trouble completely, tighten the locknuts. For better fixing of the nuts, "Moment" or ordinary paint can be used.

To determine the degree of free play, first tighten the nut firmly, and then gradually loosen it. We give the paint and glue to finally set.

The next step is to mount the back support. The planks are secured with bolts and washers. Choose only thick fabric for the seats; tarpaulin, canvas and jeans are the best choices.

The fabric blank is folded in 2 times and stitched with an indent of 1.5 centimeters. After that, it must be turned out. We bend a piece of fabric on one side so that you can insert the rod and stitch it. We do it in a similar way on the other side.

We push each of the ends of the folded fabric between the planks and insert a rod into it. We will get a tightly fixed seat, and at the same time dismantling to wash it will not cause any problems.
