Setting up the Modern Outdoors Chairs

Then I attached the legs to the longer 2×6 boards, using 2-3/4” prolonged deck screws.  Uncover the spacer in between the slats – it’s a scrap 1x that measures ¾” thick.

Proper right here’s the way in which it can look with every legs.

Then add the best armrest piece, and repeat for two arms (for one chair).

It’s preferrred to have two of us to assemble, nonetheless in the event you occur to don’t, I used a board threaded between the slats to help my once more boards whereas I attached.  That’s primarily probably the most troublesome step of all of the assemble.

As quickly because the arms are hooked as much as the back and front gadgets, two cleats are screwed to the insides of the arms, and seat slats rest on excessive.  TIP: For added comfort, ponder placing within the seat at a slight downward angle.

Turned out moderately nicely!
