Mike Montgomery, from a US-based design company Modern Builds has created a DIY outdoor lounge chair that is comfortable and looks great, thanks to its clean design. Mike spent a full night drawing various sketches on his floor with a piece of chalk and finally decided the finalize the shape for the chair.

For making this lounge chair he used standard materials such as four 2 x 12s wood pieces, five 2 x 4s, glue, doweling jig, pocket hole jig, dowel joints and several wood screws.

The entire process to make this outdoor lounge chair is given below.

  • After making the outline for the chair, cut 2 x 12s into 8 foot wood pieces. Mike recommends cutting them a bit oversize to ensure enough space to craft out a side of the chair.

  • Then, attach these wooden pieces together using dowel joints and glue. The combination of glue and dowel joints will keep the pieces together.

  • Now draw the final shape on the glued block, so that you can easily cut it out using a jigsaw. Although the cut out will not be that fine but, you can later clean it for a smooth appearance.

  • Use that cut-out side as a template and cut the second side of the chair.

  • Clamp both pieces tightly to properly sand both sides of the chair using a belt sander for giving them smooth and symmetrical shape.

  • After you finish sanding, round up both sides with a router having a round-over bit but ensure not to shatter the corners.

  • Now cut strips measuring 3/8” from 2 x 4s and then cut them into 24” pieces but try avoiding any type of knots in the pieces.

  • Thereafter, quickly make holes in wooden strips using a drill press with a stop block and fence. After drilling holes, countersunk all the holes for easing insertion of screws.

  • At bottom, you can attach 2 x 4 strips as runners to keep the design sturdy. You can also use hidden pocket holes to attach them with the chair.
