Super gebaut ,,,,, ein meisterwerk
Nice looking sofa. Personally, if I were building one of these I would put a 1x6 on each armrest and along the backrest and I would put the bottom 2x4 of each end the full dimension from front to rear rather than between the front and rear and put stand-offs to keep the sofa apart from the concrete floor about 1" or 1 1/2".

Don't know if you know but since it's for outdoor use that's why it is good to put sealer, spray it to make the water repel. And stain will also been awesome. Beautiful work other then that.

Thanks! Good points and certainly would be a must for pine or other wood. With cedar, finish isn't as critical, but I am finding these different projects with teak oil after the cedar grays out. I've debated on if I should put a video out on it.
Good work 👍!

That would be really fun. I am planning a house build but mostly just documenting some of it. Also it won't be very simple. Maybe sometime in the future I'll be able to do something small :). Thanks for watching!
This is great. I am going to download and build one too. What did you learn from doing the pocket holes? Any tips? Any plans of painting it? I think it would take it to the next level once painted. I’d say something bright but says “you” ya know. A yellow could work with those pillows. Thanks for the video!🤙🤙🤙

Sorry missed this one, I think five total (2 on sides, three in the middle) would be enough. However you be safe maybe do 4 in the middle.

Like this sofa build over the original, but would 105° back rest be more comfortable than it being 90° with the seat? I like how the original wasn’t just 90°.

Hey sorry, you're comment got caught in the spam filter. You could easily make the adjustment - however having used this for a few weeks now I can say I have not noticed it to be an issue. Although I am using cushions so that might be one reason.
