Plans are for a single lounger, but can be easily modified, as one of our readers did, to a double. Featuring no special hardware, slatted wood design, adjustable back angles, and optional wheels.

Attaching the Back. Lay the back in the lounger, and attach the last slat of the back to the last slat on the lounger. Simply lay the hinges flat on top of the slats and screw in place. Position the hinges so that the pin rests in a gap between the back slat and the seat slat. Use three hinges, all positioned over the back stringers.

Double chaise plans
Ana- You are awesome. I have been on your site every night for weeks dreaming. Does anyone have the plans written down to covert this chaise to double. I am new to wood working and require step by step. Thanks.

longer legs?
I have bad knees and would like a taller chaise lounger. How much longer can I make the legs without sacrificing stability?

Wheels
Has anyone attached wheels to the chaise yet? If so I was wondering were you purchased them and how did you mount them. Metal rod with holes drilled or single wheels attached to each leg?

Popular in Costa Rica
At least four of these chaise loungers have been made in Atenas, Costa Rica within the past month. Probably more to come based on the Facebook comments we are all getting! Thanks for clear and concise plans with good illustrations.
