  • This DIY modern outdoor sofa sectional can be made with basic tools. I used common 2x6 pine and 1x6 spruce to build this outdoor sofa to make it an affordable woodworking project. We used outdoor stain to finish this outdoor sectional to protect it from the weather. Amazon and other affiliate links are used in this description and they help support this channel.

      Your online store is a scam. I purchased the plans but I am still waiting to receive an email with the file. Why is it not instant like everything else that's digital? I don't have all week to send emails back and forth to chase up my order.

    My wife was going to buy outdoor furniture and I told her not to cause I think I can make what she wants for much cheaper. I purchased the 5 pack outdoor furniture with the Memorial Day coupon and here I am making this. Thanks

    Hey there Matt! Bought your plans last Friday, bought lumber and did the build on Saturday, stained on Sunday. Built this for my daughter and she loves it. Had enough scrap left over to make a matching table. Thanks!

  • @BigJeff19999

    Matt I love your stuff. I love to build outdoor stuff too and seeing this inspires me to get out there and build something new. 2 things I do a little different are one I use the glue from the green bottle of the brand you used. The blue glue has failed when I grabbed the wrong bottle on a planter build I did last year. That did get a ton of water, admittedly.
    The other thing I try to do is incorporate a dado or rabbet to support horizontal structures rather than rely on the sheer strength of the screws. I guess it's more out of fear of something happening than actual experience.
    Lots of good family time ahead on that though.

  • @andrewstevens9481
    @andrewstevens9481 Před rokem

    I really appreciate that you build this whole thing with tools any DIY woodworker has. A lot of videos are like use this thousand dollar specialty tool, but really a pocket hole tool is the only thing I have to go get (we actually have the same miter saw as the video).

    I did a similar project to replace my patio furniture. Frames were rusted but the cushions were in great shape. I used 5/4 deck boards instead of 1x6's. They were considerably cheaper at my local lumber yards. Of course this was just over a year ago so prices have changed. I've done one non-scrap wood project since because prices are so crazy.

    Good on mate, that was great, I was looking for a video with a design with angle seats and I found the perfect one, strong and beautiful, the best part of the video was using Australian timber oil, lol. From Sydney thanks for your time and cheers.

  • @iserod2206
    @iserod2206 Před 23 dny

    I just made these last fall but as a 2 pc. so it was less of a "beast" to lift/move. HOWEVER, one of the arm rests has completely come off from the legs!! I did use outdoor glue & pocket-held it together! We barely and temporarily moved it just so we could power wash our patio!! So although i didn't want to see screw holes from the top, I had no choice but to secure arms from the top into the legs at an angle.
