Bristol Outdoor Lounge Chair and Table

Submitted by extexdf82 on Mon, 04/08/2013 - 08:37

I made these chairs and table for my father as a Christmas gift to sit next to his pool. The chairs were fairly easy to make. To stay within budget I did use inexpensive white wood so the quality of the grain was not quite what I had hoped but I believe they still came out very nice. I used BEHR weather proofing wood stain in RedWood which turned out very nicely. The only thing that is currently lacking are the cushions. Due to the price of the foam that will have to wait.
For the table I started with the original plans on the site but when I realized just how long it would be I cut it down and added the two thin strips to break up the pattern.

If I were to do anything differently I would shrink the overall size of the chair to the size of standard cushions that can be purchased at local department stores or outdoor furniture stores to minimize the cost.
