Lounge chair for relaxing in the garden or by the pool

On such a chaise longue for a summer residence, it is convenient to sit in the shade of plants while reading a book or take a place in a sunny meadow to get a beautiful summer tan. Despite the fact that this is a very simple design, the lounger can be installed in three positions: completely horizontal or with two options for raising the backrest. Moreover, for lifting one of the most simple designs. But we know what simpler mechanism, the less susceptible it is to breakdowns.

Even an inexperienced craftsman can make such a chaise lounge with his own hands. It will have convenient parameters even for an adult tall man: width – 60 cm, length – 215 cm.

Materials and tools

The material from which we will make the lounge chair will be pine beams and boards. Their dimensions, along with a list of tools and fasteners, are presented in the list:

• 3 bars 4000x100x50 mm;
• 4 boards 4000x80x25 mm;
• 2 studs for attaching the back to the frame;
• drill with drills;
• self-tapping screws;
• sandpaper;
• wood putty;
• paint (color of your choice);
• wood glue to strengthen fixed joints;
• roulette;
• square;
• marker;
• saw or power saw.

Description of work

Before starting work, carefully examine similar drawings to understand the logic of subsequent actions.

1. First of all, we assemble the frame from the timber. We take 2 parts of 2150 mm each and the same number of 500 mm each. We make connections using a drill using self-tapping screws. To increase reliability, pre-coat the joints with glue.
2. Let's start working with the stationary part of the surface. We cut a board with dimensions 4000x80x25 mm with a saw into 60 cm pieces. In total, 13 such parts need to be made.
3. Leaving centimeter gaps between the boards (60 cm long), we fasten them to the frame with self-tapping screws. We control the angle of connection of the planks at 90 degrees.
4. Let's start installing the legs of the chaise lounge. For greater stability, the legs in the seat area should be made double. For them, we take 4 bars 35 cm long. We glue them in pairs, then fasten them to the base with glue and self-tapping screws. Any excess adhesive should be wiped off immediately. This will help in the future to avoid problems with processing these areas of wood.
5. On the side of the headboard we also attach single bars-legs 35 cm long. Then we attach second bars to them, which are 20 cm shorter than the first ones. We fasten them so that the lower edge of the parts coincides (as shown in the figure).

1. Let's start creating the back of the chaise lounge. The frame of this part will be assembled from pine beams measuring 100x50 mm. Prepare 2 parts of 880 mm and 3 parts of 390 for the back frame.

The dimensions of the backrest base are chosen so that it can fit inside the main part of the chaise longue (with small gaps for free movement).

1. Back covering. If you want to give the product a more attractive look, attach the trim strips in the direction of the length of the frame. In this case, round the top edge of each board on both sides. Maintain a distance of 10 mm between the slats.
2. To secure the backrest to the frame so that it can move freely, you need to prepare the holes. Measure 70-80 mm from the edge last board seats. At the indicated distance, use a drill to make holes that pass through the frame of the backrest and chaise lounge. Place a pin in them on each side.
3. The mechanism for raising and fixing the moving part is based on placing bars in special recesses that will not allow the backrest to fall down. The first selections should be made on both sides of the main frame of the sun lounger, retreating 7-8 cm from the hairpin. The dimensions of the recess should be 10 cm wide and 5 cm deep. We make the second recesses at a distance of 20 cm from the first, 5 cm deep and 5 cm wide.

If you place the first support bar, 60 cm long, horizontally in the first recess, the back of the chaise lounge will lock into the “chair” position. The person sitting on the chair will be able to sit comfortably. To change the level of raising the backrest, you should move the first block onto the shortened legs, and insert the second support block (60 cm) vertically into the second recess. You can fully unfold the chaise longue by removing the second bar and lowering the backrest. In this case, the small frame will stand on the first block placed on the shortened components of the legs.

1. Finally, start finishing the chaise lounge. Use putty to smooth out any uneven surfaces and hide the screws. After drying, sand the corners and surfaces with sandpaper so that there are no sharp parts, burrs or roughness. Cover wooden product stain, this will protect the material from harmful influences. Paint the lounge chair the color of your choice.

The garden chaise lounge for the dacha is ready. You can equip it with a picturesque corner of your garden plot and enjoy a pleasant holiday.

Selection of design and material for construction

You need to clearly understand what you would like to receive and what capabilities you have. If you need a durable structure, and weight is not of great importance, then you need to focus on a metal or wooden chaise longue with a wooden seat. The easiest way to make such a seat is from pallets - there is a ready-made assembly of boards on the frame, but the boards themselves are of poor quality and will require a long processing time after assembly - sanding, painting. Making a chaise lounge from bent steel pipes requires skills in handling a welding machine. The finished structure will be very strong, but heavy. If, on the contrary, you need an extremely lightweight design that takes up little space, then think about a chaise lounge made from the frame of an old folding bed.

But the easiest option to make is the usual wooden chaise longue with a fabric seat.

Future chaise lounge - drawing and description

We settled on a simple wooden structure: bars connected by bolts with nuts and washers. The strength of this chaise lounge is given by three slats in the back, which also allow the chair to transform. The seat is made of durable awning fabric and is fixed on two round bars.

Tools and materials

We will need tools:

• saw;
• drill;
• wood file and sandpaper.

Metal fittings and other small items:

• bolts and nuts - 4 pieces;
• washers (for the bolt head and nut) - 8 pieces;
• wood glue;
• screws;
• reinforced thread for a sewing machine.

Compositions for preparing wood:

• impregnation against rotting and moisture;
• primer (drying oil or other);
• paint or stain.

Table: necessary parts for a sun lounger

You need to carefully choose the fabric for the seat; it should be hard and comfortable, and should not wear out quickly. The best option- awning fabric; but any other dense fabric will do - tarpaulin, denim, canvas. It's good if it's bright and not light. It's more elegant and practical.

Preparing for work

All bars must be sanded, starting with coarse-grained sandpaper and ending with the finest sandpaper. It is advisable to impregnate them with a special impregnation against rotting or water-repellent impregnation, then prime and paint or stain them. Then the chaise longue will serve you for many years in any conditions.

Assembling a sun lounger

1. You can start with the frame of the back of the lounge chair. A beam with a cross section of 2×6×61 centimeters will be the main load-bearing link, so we attach it especially carefully. We install crossbars at the back of the seat. With the help of a stop that changes its position, the tilt of the backrest changes. At the same time, these crossbars act as stiffening ribs. You don’t have to attach the planks, then in their place you need to make cutouts at 20, 25, 30 and 35 centimeters from the rear edge of the structure. Be sure to leave a centimeter gap between the two bars to secure the fabric seat.
2. We drill according to the drawing required holes: on the back - two, from the edges - 41 centimeters each; on the seat from the top edge - 43 centimeters; on a beam to support the back - in the center.
3. Then we combine the back and seat. Checking the alignment of the holes. We connect them with bolts and nuts. Be sure to put washers between the wooden parts.
4. We connect the frame elements. We install the back support. A round block is inserted into the hole drilled for it using glue.
5. We fold a pre-cut rectangular piece of fabric in half and stitch it with reinforced thread with an indentation of one and a half centimeters from the edge. We turn the sewn part inside out and sew a drawstring for the round bar. We do the same on the other side. We push it between the slats and fix it wooden rod. With this solution, it will be easy to remove the fabric seat and wash it; at the same time, there is no risk of falling out of the chaise longue - the seat is firmly fixed.

   The fabric can be removed without much effort

The nuts have the ability to unwind, but they cannot be tightened tightly - otherwise the chaise lounge will not be able to easily unfold and fold. To avoid unwinding, you can add one more locknut; Or you can put the nuts on glue or paint, only then do not touch the structure for a while so that the glue or paint dries. But first you need to adjust the tightening of the nut so that the parts move freely relative to each other.

Here is another approximate drawing of a slightly different design - all parts, dimensions and connections are clearly visible here.

Further care

If you carefully approach the preparation of wooden parts, then special care will not be required. But over time, all the steps of sanding, impregnation, priming and painting should be repeated by removing the fabric seat. The removable seat can be removed when it rains and can be easily washed when dirty. You can also make it from washable fabric. For the winter, it is better to put the sun lounger indoors.

The simple process of making a chaise lounge with your own hands will please any craftsman with a wonderful end result. A variety of materials and fabrics will allow you to be creative and create original item. And when proper care The chaise longue will serve you for many years.

Do you want to make your holiday in the garden or dacha even more comfortable? Then use one of the many ideas and build a sun lounger with my own hands. In this article we will talk about what material to choose for creating this type of garden bench, and how to properly assemble the structure yourself. We will also create step-by-step instructions for making a sun lounger at home.

Variety of materials for making a sun lounger

If you literally translate the word “chaise longue” from French, you get a “long chair”, for the manufacture of which natural wood is most often chosen. But along with this material, plywood, durable fabric, plastic and wicker, etc. are actively used. Some craftsmen decorate their area with rocking chairs made from corrugated cardboard and logs. As practice shows for the production of this type garden furniture You can get creative, using basic, improvised materials that are no longer useful on the farm. The table presents the characteristics, features, advantages and disadvantages of wood, plywood, fabric as a material for a do-it-yourself sun lounger.

Materials for making a sun lounger
Tree	When choosing a wooden material, you need to pay attention to its structure and the species from which it is produced. Experts do not recommend buying spruce because of the smell of resin, which will only worsen when exposed to sunlight. It is better to use ash and larch as a base; they are characterized by strength, durability and ease of processing, and therefore not a difficult installation process. It is worth understanding that prices for natural wood are quite high, so you won’t be able to save money on this material. Wooden furniture must be treated with antiseptic agents, since without proper care it can quickly rot and deform.
Textile	A feature of fabric furniture is its environmental friendliness and safety. Such structures are relatively light in weight and are extremely mobile. Along with these advantages, the following disadvantages can be identified: fragility, instability to ultraviolet radiation. Fabric sun loungers are not able to withstand heavy loads. For comfort it is best to choose natural materials, without various additives and pigments.
Plywood	Quite common construction material, which is actively used for the manufacture of a variety of furniture, including sun loungers. For this purpose, one of the varieties of FC plywood is purchased; it is intended for interior decoration and does not contain toxic impurities. Structures made from this material are lightweight and have affordable prices. However, plywood products cannot be called durable, and they are not suitable for heavy people.

Craftsmen with weaving skills can use wicker, bamboo, and rattan as materials for a chaise lounge, which make the furniture visually attractive, mobile and safe. As a rule, ready-made structures of this type are characterized by a high price. The downside of wicker products is their instability to precipitation and prolonged exposure to sunlight.

On the modern market there are many ready-made plastic sun loungers, which vary in price, shape, type (monolithic, portable). Plus plastic products can be called the insignificant weight and variety of design ideas embodied in manufacturing. The disadvantages of plastic rocking chairs are fragility and instability to aggressive climatic conditions.

The strength of the structure is distinguished by the sun loungers, the frame of which is made of metal and treated with anti-corrosion agents. When using aluminum, the structures are light and practical. In combination with metal frame fabric materials are most often used.

Variants of chaise lounge drawings

Garden furniture for relaxation on wheels, with a canopy, with an adjustable backrest, etc. will become indispensable after a hard day at work and will allow you to relax with a mug of tea or reading a good book.

Regarding appearance, sun lounger designs are usually divided into three categories:

• soldered with inserts;
• monolithic;
• portable.

Monolithic models are structures that cannot be disassembled, as they consist of solid elements. They are attractive appearance, can be decorated with a variety of inserts made from combined materials. As a rule, monolithic sun loungers are characterized by their strength, relatively large weight, and rather large dimensions. The disadvantage of such products is the non-adjustable headboard and backrest.

Portable designs are those that can easily change the position of the backrest, etc. This type of product is considered mobile and very convenient; they are called a progressive option. Due to their folding capabilities, this type of sun loungers is easy to transport. Any of the above structures can be supplemented with mattresses or original pillows that will ensure a comfortable stay.

To make a sun lounger at home, beginners can use already ready-made projects and drawings, which the Internet is rich in, and which have been tested in practice. For example, the original option is to assemble a Kentucky chair (from blocks) with your own hands, as well as a chaise lounge from wooden beams, which will take a little time to produce.

Features of making a simple wooden deck chair with your own hands

The most common dimensions of sun loungers, which can even be called standard, are 60 by 190 cm. Next, we will look at the process of making a simple wooden rocking chair with a flat base, but with an adjustable back. Wooden furniture For this purpose, it most often has quite a lot of weight, which makes it difficult to move it around the site, but this problem can be solved at home, for example, by attaching roller wheels to the legs.

So, marking wood is needed in order to significantly reduce the percentage of material waste, that is, to use it as rationally as possible. To do this, the master must have a drawing that shows in detail the constituent elements of the structure and their exact dimensions. To mark, the master needs to prepare a sheet of graph paper and draw on it necessary details, then the workpiece is transferred to thick cardboard, cut out and marked on the contours according to wooden material. The cut elements must be sanded and treated with antiseptics in order to significantly extend their service life.

To make a base for a wooden deck chair, you will need beams, the cross-section of which should be 45*45 centimeters, while drill diameter will be 40 millimeters. The installation process must begin by preparing two long and two short sidewalls. They connect with each other metal corners and screws.

After the structure is completely assembled, the craftsman needs to use a grinding machine and treat the deck chair with it, and then use a brush to open it with varnish and let it dry completely. The result is a ready-made, comfortable, adjustable chaise lounge of our own production.
