I just finished building it. Home Depot nor Lowes sell 4x8's. the biggest is a 4x6 or a 6x6. I used 4 4x6x8's . they also do not sell those type of brackets, look for staircase brackets, the are thicker and able to support a nice load. a nominal height of approx 24inches didn't seem tall enough so I stacked 5, 4x6 to get an approx height of 27.5" for the arm rests. The 2x8s I have higher than shown here because it seemed so low, I raised it to about 13 inches. the backrest is at an angle of 70 degrees using a speed square pivoted from the back corner of the arm rests. It's quite comfortable even without the cushions which is the only thing left I need. Hopefully my experience can help someone trying to use local home centers to get this project done. Thanks a lot for the idea!

My Home depot sales 4x12-8ft for $34.11. These are not on the lumber isle, be sure to look by the garden area or ask more than one person at the store. Not ever employee knows where everything is.

Just finished mine in Shou Sugi Ban. Added a small Side table with the off cut 2x8s and some drift wood beam scrap that I pulled of the beach. Looks awesome!! Adding a chair to match (easy) just measure the 2x8 to what ever cushion you'd like. I'll cut the 4x8 at 31 ish for the arms. 4x8s are easy to find, skip the Home Center and use your local Proffesional Building supply Store. One thing not mentioned here is that there's no way you can drive the Lag bolts without predrilling. (Maybe if your using a corded hammer drill). I think there's better hard wear to use in place of the lag bolts. I would of used 14 inch construction grade timber screws. There a little more expensive but.. Awesome project all the way around!!! Thanks LOVE IT !!

This is the best looking, most simple, diy sofa I've seen. Great job. Thanks for doing what you do.

Nice looking couch-- I was surprised to see how simple it is!

I am floored by how simple and beautiful this is. For anyone wondering, the seat cushions from Ikea are called Hållö.

That looks so simple and cool, thanks for making videos, love your videos

You're amazing. This is modern, gorgeous and solid. Excellent job.

What a great idea! Love the simple design of it.

I love the look of this sofa! I'm so excited to make this (when the weather cools down of course). Thank you so much for the inspiration. I have just subscribed and am now going to stay up way to late binge watching your videos lol.

I love this, I'm going to purchase the supplies for it now! Thanks man, keep up the good work..

Hello, wonderfull proyect there Thanks for sharing. Im planning on building this and have a couple of questions. First Im bulding this for an the inside is there anything in particular that can change the theme from outside or inside? What are the parameter that determine this. Second: Are the 2x4 Strong enough to not need any middle support to carry on the weight of three full size adults sitting on it. Thanks,

This is Dynamite!!! Thank you for the tips, Braxtly Tools

You make it look so easy. That was amazing!

Very simple yet durable. Very NICE! 👍🏼

Wow. Extremely simple but good looking sofa. Well done!

in love with this one!

Applause... to you Sir such a simple video on a amazing bench 🛋

Great Project and Inspiration. Just finished mine, added another back with rebarb to make taller as had used different cushions. You guys are great..

Hi I'd def try this. If I wanted to create this and then make another section to make it a sectional alltogether, how would you make the other side ? Is it possible ?

Thank You, I love the simplicity.

THIS!....it's going to be my weekend project. Thanks!

Always recommend to put wood conditioner for the miniwax grey stain to absorb better and finish off with a miniwax seal coat ! 2 extra steps but make a hell of a difference

Nice. Sounds like an easy weekend project. Question though, anyone know if its worth waterproofing something like this especially since its going to live outside?

A great looking sofa for indoors too, love it. Subscribed.

Oh what an awesome idea! Great piece! Just wanted to say that there are GRK screws up to 24" long and are use sometimes in landscaping timbers. They do not rust and are extremelt hard so you would need hard tips for the drill. The larger sizes are hex heads too! They are pricey but well worth the money.

Simple sofa. I love it. i think i will make 2 of them. Thanks for the inspiration sir. I think i may have added some supporting beams on the bottom of the seat tho. Looks like it may sag over time if not. Still a great bench.

you definitely got a new subscriber with this awesome project!! this is awesome and seems actually doable. Thanks!! I look forward to checking out your website and other projects :)

+DIY Modern Would help if he'd given the size of lag bolts. In fact it still looked like he screwed the side pieces together instead of using actual lag bolts. Also those brackets holding the seat to the arms should be much beefier. Cool starting point!

@johngardiner8847

+Joseph Taibi Jr. The size of the "lag bolts" depend on how deep you drill through the wood.... If you drill 4" into it than 8" lag bolt is a very secure bet

Looks Good!

This is SOO cool man!! wish i was as handy!

Great JOB...VERY NICE

Hey if you're making a square cut with a circular saw you can use your speed square as a fence if its big enough and if its metal. This helps a lot if your trying to cut a nice straight end

this is sick,gotta get me some materials and start this project,thnx for the share bro.

great job .... very nice look... Bravo
