Followed the new home depot plans, only change I made was using 2x4 instead of 2x2. Getting ready to build another one, but this time will also change the arms to be wider on the ends to accommodate wine holder on one arm and cup holder on other arm. :0)

Varnish
Hi Ana,
Thanks for all your free sharing and advice. I'd like to return the favor (hopefully)...
Just wanted to say (as I am a painter) that it is best to avoid using any sort of "clear" varnish (such as poly, or spar, etc...) on anything that sits outdoor (such as furniture, doors, decks), because UV rays from the sun will break-down the varnish and cause them to fail.
Instead, it is best to use a stain that is suited for decks, like Cabots Semi-Transparent, or semi-solid, etc,,
best regards,
Aaron

Plans
The plans for this adirondack chair are no longer available on the Home Depot website. Where can I get them? Does anyone have them to share?
