Love the additional length of this couch. Totally doing this! Thanks!
Love the contemporary rustic look exactly what I was looking for! You did a great job.
This came out Amazing, the carpet and the colour stain the colour of cushions everything blended so well. 👌🏻
Thank you so much for making this so easy to understand! I'm new to wood working and am very excited to start this project.
This video is the holy grail for me right now. I can’t wait to try it!!!!! THANK YOU 🙏🏾
Just found your page, and love all your projects. Just bought a house, and will be doing this for the back patio. This turned out so beautiful.
I always love when people say what they would have done differently. That is extremely helpful. Nice work
YES!
I have seen many videos of making these outdoor sofa but girl this was by far one of the best and easiest 👌🏼 thanks for sharing.
Yay! Thank you!
Looks great. Perfect for the upcoming spring/summer in the Northeast. You might need a bigger coffee & end table with the couch though. I guess you’ll have to build matching coffee & end tables. Keep up the good work.
Great tip on staining before assembly. Thanks.
Hi Megan, many thanks for posting this video. A friend asked if I could make her a bench to match a photo she'd found on the net. I found your video which was an almost identical design and built it today for her in 12 hours. The bench I made was a bit shorter than yours. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Great work! So far this is the best. I'm getting ready to have some build for my pergola and it's huge. The only different thing that I would do, is build them slanted at least one couch. I've been told that if I have the back and seat slanted it's lots more comfortable. We will see how it turns out. Thanks for your video.
Thank you for the very informative details of this project. I am now inspired to go out and do the same.
I'm just starting out wood working and I love seeing ppl create something out of a simple piece of wood. I've been picking up my tools a little at a time and one of the things I dont have is one of the things you said you didnt have, and that was the jig. I need to get one of those and then learn how to use it. I may try and build me a couch, however, I think I'll make a smaller version because I don't have the space. Thank you for making this video, it was very helpful!
I realized later that I used the kreg jig incorrectly in this video. It still got the job done, but there’s a better way to use it for sure!
I love learning about wood working and sharing it with kind people like you who give such positive feedback.
Making this tomorrow! Love your video and easy to follow instructions!!! ❤️
Super duper! I can't wait to try this DIY project.
I’m doing this! This is just what I need. Wish me luck 🥴
It’s going down, I’m trying it. Thanks for the video.
Your directions are much better. Thanks!
Looks Really good Megan Bell...! I am going to make one...! Thanks Al
OMG!! I have been wanting to do this for so long !! A tree just fell on our lower deck and crushed the couch which I felt was always small. And I said to myself, I would love to have a couch that is the whole leanth of the deck . But to buy one like you said, would cost an arm and a leg. My wife is currently looking for a replacement to match the rest of the set. Way more than yours. The only problem is we have opposite taste in almost everything. Not sure how it lasted 20 years!!😂😂. Anyway, wish me luck!!!
We are currently working on this for our front porch! So excited. Excellent measurements and directions 👍
This is a great build and your modifications from the Ryobi nation were great.
Well I know what I'm doing this weekend 👍🏼👍🏼 love this
What a great project! I know this would be a favorite spot on the patio. You are inspiring me!
majemeryn thank you so much! I love that I have inspired you! I highly recommend this project, I have used my balcony non stop since we built this. I’ve even taken a few naps!
Thank-you so much because I needed to know how to modify the length for a longer outdoor sofa. Great video 👍👍
This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Totally going to do this! Thanks for the inspiration
Very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you!
Well done summer is ending here in Canada but my sunrom is open all year long! thank you for sharing
You did very well with your outdoor couch. Very similar to what I would like in the backyard - thank you for making it look easy.
You are so welcome!
Aha This gives me a great idea. Thank you so very much. I love it. Just absolutely love it.
I have seen the Anna white project as well, but love yours! Thank you for the tip on staining the wood first!
I love how your little assistant 🐕 is checking out everything.
Thank you for the instruction video while you show your work. I am building my first ever outdoor furniture...well first build of anything of that size. I truly appreciate seeing the steps actual being done not just small diagrams on a screen or paper. It has given me better idea wtf I need to do. Puts a 3d plan in my head instead of a 2d paper concept. High 5 and wish me luck 🤪
This was my intention, so it pleases me that it is well received. Thank you!
I have to do this. Today is the day.. beautiful ❤️
This is such a great build!!! Thanks for sharing!
OMG this is dope! I may try this and make 2. Will def save some major cash! Thx
I am surely going to build this for my patio..
Looks great! Gotta love porch sittin
Loved this can not wait to make it
Amazing project, already saved to try it someday
I love this!!! You did a great job!!!
Iv started this project today! It's almost finished just need to screw the back rest and stain it! Thank you! Ck from the uk!
Awesome!! I’m so glad to hear about it!
I'm making one right now for my porch!!! I loved it ❤️ I wish I could send you a picture of my outcome OMG, I had to make this it's the perfect size.
Wow great job and it looks great too. !
Beautiful and classy piece!!
Thank you it looks amazing something I'm going to attempt, wish me luck .
I just saw this video now but I'm glad I haven't purchased anything cause this is exactly what I've been looking for !!
Very nice, I built this sofa but it came out at 27" deep. 24" plus the 2 lengths at 3".
I can't wait to try! Thank you!
Wow this is awesome beautiful outside couch!
Thank you! We are still enjoying it!
This looks really good, just for next time using the pocket hole jig, always make your pocket holes on the face of the board into the end grain. Much stronger joint that way and much less chance of tear out. This is about a year old so you probably figured that out by now though. Very nice job!
Oh wow thanks for sharing ❤ I’m going to try this
Fukin awesome. Thanks for the list of cuts needed love it.
Really good job, I think I am going to make this
YES!!!! I ALWAYS stain all my pieces before I put them together, and this is the first time I've ever watched a video suggesting it.... SO much easier...
Ive realized it makes a nice difference!
I love how this turned out and that you modified the original plan. I don't see the plan in the description, though, or on their site, so maybe they don't have it anymore? I'll be now that you've done projects for years, you'd probably do more pocket-hole construction throughout. I think I would. With your great directions, I'm thinking of creating this for my deck! Thanks Megan from the past!
Came out fantastic.
I love it!!! Really looks like something I would love to try. Thanks
So glad! Please do!
looks great ,nice explanation of how to do it :)
Omg this is exactly what I wanted to do
Thanks a billion!!! 😊
So glad it’s helpful! 💛
This is really good. We're definitely gonna try this! Thanks a lot!!
Wonderful! Thanks Miyon!
that is awesome ,,, looks nice save money and last long time
Awesome project, keep up the great work
Well done and well explained. Will definitely try this.thanks
Thank you!
Turned out awesome!
Thank you!!
I must do this! Thanks for the IKEA cushions too :)
Awesome! I'm gonna ask my husband to try and do this 😉
Thank you so much! What a great idea, i think i can do this
Very nicely done. I've built many things with 2x4. Just a tip, use a counter sink with long drill bits on your cordless, to pre drill and set the screws, so much easier, doesn't wear out your cordless, also using quick set bits to change fast between screw tips and countersink. From experience, trying to drive a 2 1/4 screw into 2 2x4s is pretty tough.
Looks great! If I could offer one small suggestion to anyone who wants to build this though..use exterior wood glue (ie titebond III) and the exterior screws. The joints will never weaken.
Great tip!
@@MeganBell Hey sweetheart. Thanks for the awesome looking sofa. I tried to download your plans for the sofa, but their seems to be an issue with the link. Thanks in advance!!
Great job.. I'm looking to do something similar, if it looks as good as yours il be over the moon
Really helpful that you mentioned the measures...
Hi Bell! Well thought out. I like your idea.
This can out so awesome 👍🏽
Sooo good! Love it! I want to make this! Inspired!
Please do!
Lovely job explained very well
Thank you!
Looks great 😍
Beautiful job!
ektorma thank you! ❤️
The couch is awesome! I would love a lazy afternoon nap on that!
Deb Parks and I’ve already had a few!! Lol!
OMG!!! That looks so good Megan!! I'd love a a love seat version for my back patio! I would get the fabric and sew all my own cushions though. But only because I'm on a sewing kick right now.
Pattymac Knits thank you patty! I wonder what you would use to fill the cushions if they’re for outdoor use? Is there a special foam?
One thing I can do is sew would love to learn lol.
Wow! I LOVE it! 😍
Really a simple and good sofa my lady,
Vikram thank you!
Thank u for sharing your knowledge:)

I've just made one of your sofas it came out great thank you
That’s awesome, Albert! Glad it worked out
Lovely im going to make that
Thank you. I’m going to make it. The patio furniture cost in the store is ridiculous!
Thank you for this video. I’m searching for furniture making videos that use regular power tools a home owner would likely have (as opposed to expensive professional tools).
Gorgeous!
Judi Jordan thank you so much! I think so too!!
