DIY Outdoor Sofa - How To Make An Outdoor Couch

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

DIY Outdoor Sofa - Our deck was in need of an update, so I built this outdoor sofa so we could sit more comfortably outside. Up next is a loveseat. Enjoy!
In case you were wondering, the price of this couch was around $200. That includes the wood, cushions, accent pillows, hardware, and the finish. :-)

    Love the trick where you hide the screw on the miter joints by chiseling up a part of wood first! I’ve only seen that once before

    Loved the video of you custom made it to the cushions size and adjusted the build as you checked for strength and longevity. This thing isn't going anywhere, but I would definitely used the furniture slides to protect the deck or patio from scratches. Well done!
