That's a great idea! Can't wait for wood prices to come back down so I can make more DIY projects!

I kept cushions from some of my old sofas and the sofa of a family member. They make great dog beads until I'm ready to build!

Great video! I have similar 25x25 cushions. I see that your length slats were cut at 72" -- do you recommend multiplying the full 3x up to 75" so they don't run into the arms?

Yes, I think they might fit more neatly. I don’t mind how mine are after all though, so I think you’ll be fine either way. Have fun!

Wonderful. Looks like prices of wood might be coming down also and one change I would make is the back rest. I would lay it so it’s flatter and more comfortable on your back. I’ve been thinking about making an update video on that to show everyone.

Love your extra tips! Much needed as I have never done something like this before. How did it turn out with adding the extra board in the back? Is it more comfortable?

Thx. I haven’t gotten around to changing the back, but I definitely advise you to alter it to make it more comfortable.

If I want to make this an 8 ft couch I can just cut 9 pieces into 96" and then the rest should follow? I will definitely need to add in middle supports as well.

This is my idea...The measurements are rough eyeball estimates. I'm looking to build an outdoor sofa with back support beams that run across the back covering up the gap so its filled. I'm looking to lay down and not really fit cushions on it more so for lounging and laying down and giving the outdoor bed feel. I'm adding more supports to the floor on the arm rests and middle of the sofa to the floor for more support. I didn't change the seat frame height only the length. What do you think? 11 - 2x4 @ 96” Base Frame 18- 2x4 @ 48" Seating Frame & Arm Rest Frame Attachment 2-2x4 @12- for Middle Arm Rest floor support 2-2x4 @12-for Middle and back base frame floor support

Yes, i agree that the back needs more support than my design. You’ll enjoy that more. I have to say that even with cushions it does feel less comfortable than wicker sofa I tried to match up. I would still make sure cushions fit properly just in case so that in the future if you change your mind, you can add them if needed. I love customizing projects and I think yours will turn out awesome!

This is an easy way to build an outdoor sofa or sectional using 2x4’s. You can easily customize. Let me know if you make one. I’d love to hear how it went for you.

you should have waited when wood prices drop. if you are looking with wood stain look in home depot oppps section where the can maybe find a dented or t spilled can you save 75 percent on cost . i built mine for practically for free. a friend gave me salvage pine wood from a construction site the other option is on facebook marketplace people are willing to sell or give free 2x4 away . for the cushion living in california some of the return or overstock are sold in pallets . These pallet are sold to outlet stores or swap meets. like the 8 pair of bottom and back cost 130 dollars. They were from the major stores of home depot or lowes. for the pocket jig its not necessary you need a craig jig to make pocket holes there a way of doing it with a regular drill bit where you drill down straight and than drill and angle of 30 degrrees . plus to fill top heads of the screw you can use wood putty to cover the holes or you can use a wood dowel to cover it. maybe you can use wood worker glue mix it with sawdust collected when cuttting your 2x4.

How sturdy is this? Also, if I made it taller (I need to clear a water faucet on the side of my house, so maybe 22” at seat level) would it get wobbly? Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

It’s pretty sturdy. I’ve moved it a couple times to clean underneath without issues. It’s actually kinda hefty. if you made a sink type project if it would change so much that it’s completely different. I imagine it wouldn’t be as sturdy but that’s just a guess. Are you propping it against a wall? You might just end up needing to add more reinforcement along the back if you feel ir isn’t sturdy enough. I wish I could help you more but without it being the same thing is just speculation. Good luck!
