Outdoor sectional, my 2nd diy project

I pretty much followed the instructions for each plan. I customized the length to fit my space.
There was some bowing on the back rest so I added some vertical supports.
Because the sectional is quite long I added some legs in the middle.
I stained the sectional twice and had to sand off the stain twice before I decided to paint it. I highly recommend that you test your stain on a cut off piece and pick what you're doing before putting it on your furniture. If I had done this it would have saved me a lot of hours and sanding.
I had planned to buy Target cushions for my sectional but I forgot to build the sofa with the cushions I wanted to purchase in mind. I ended up having to make my own in order to get a good fit.
I have a tiny patio area and this design really worked amazing to give me a lot of seating and still make it feel spacious.
You can definitely build and paint this sectional in a day.
