The only thing we ask: please be safe! And of course, there’s no shame in asking an expert for help or seeking guidance from your local professionals at any time.
And please: enjoy the process!
For our first step, you'll be needing five 2x4" lumber - 27" lengths for each frame. We will be building two frames. These frames will be on the sides of our chairs. Grab your measuring tape and make sure to mark correctly all the union points of the four lumber that will make the sides of our chair. Be patient and double check your measurements, a wrong cut could ruin your final project or debalance your chair.
For this, we recommend using a drill with a bit of 2 1/2 " screws. After you mark each corner, carefully drill your holes, then place two on the edges of each lumber. This will reinforce the union of the two parts and greatly support your chair.
Once you're done with all the corners, place your smallest piece of lumber in the middle and screw it into the main frame.
We need to add the back of our chair to our frame. Be extra careful with this step and mark out the points where your 2x4" lumber 27" length will be placed. Perhaps somebody can help you hold these parts together while you screw the pieces in.
If you observe our "Group 2 Assembly Frames," you will see that the back lumber of the chair is aligned evenly with the wood of the side frames.
Drill your holes with a bit made of 4" screws You will use 2 screws on each lumber, making sure that the first or superior lumber is fixed onto the rest arm lumber and the chair leg lumber. This will give extra stability to the structure.
When placing the second piece of lumber into your back chair, make sure to use a guide to establish a good space in between each piece of wood. This guide should also be used on the seats of these chairs so they look aesthetically appealing.
This is our last step! Kudos! You’re almost there!
With the same guide you used for the back of the chair, start placing the lumber that will be the grill seat. You'll need to place six pieces of 2x4" lumber and place them evenly with your guide. Make sure to mark them correctly and drill two holes into each of them. We suggest you start with the lumber close to the back of your seat until you reach the front of the chair. We will use 2 1/2 " screws for this step. Important: By making 2 holes on the edge of each lumber, you'll make it sturdy and prevent the pieces from moving later on in case you were thinking of just screwing one hole so you can finish faster. Use your gloves, there will be a lot of drilling and screwing, but it's all worth it. After this, you'll be finished!
So there it is, your chair! You can leave it like this or add a cushion with a very colorful texture. It's all about your taste and your home style!
