Materials Needed:

- 2x6 boards (for armrests, legs, and support pieces) - 1x4 boards (for the back slats, seat slats) - 2x2 boards (for the supports under the seat) - Screws or outdoor-rated nails - Wood glue - Sandpaper - Outdoor wood finish (optional)

Tools Needed:

- Saw (circular or jigsaw) - Drill - Measuring tape - Clamps - Screwdriver - Sanding block or sander - Pencil Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Cut the Wood

Cut your wood pieces according to the following measurements: - Legs: 2x6 boards (2 pieces, 20 inches long) - Seat supports: 2x2 boards (2 pieces, 21 inches long) - Armrests: 2x6 boards (2 pieces, 30 inches long) - Backrest support: 2x6 board (1 piece, 19 inches long) - Seat slats: 1x4 boards (5 pieces, 22 inches long) - Back slats: 1x4 boards (5-6 pieces, 36 inches long)

Step 2: Build the Frame

- Attach the two 20-inch legs to the 21-inch seat supports. Position the legs at a slight angle (about 15 degrees) for a relaxed seating posture. - Secure with screws and wood glue for extra strength.

Step 3: Attach the Seat Slats

- Lay the seat slats (the 1x4s) on top of the frame, spacing them evenly. Screw them into place. Leave about ¼ inch gap between each slat for water drainage if the chair is used outdoors.

Step 4: Attach the Backrest

- Secure the back slats to the back support board. Arrange the slats in a slight curve or straight, depending on your comfort preference. Use a spacer to keep even gaps between slats. - Attach the assembled back to the seat frame at the desired angle (around 20-25 degrees).

Step 5: Add the Armrests

- Secure the armrests (2x6 boards) on top of the legs and attach them to the backrest frame for extra support.

Step 6: Sand and Finish

- Sand all surfaces thoroughly to remove rough edges and splinters. - Apply a weatherproof wood finish if the chair will be used outdoors.

Step 7: Assemble and Enjoy

- Once everything is assembled and dry, you can place the chair outside and enjoy your new Adirondack chair! looking For Outdoors Chairs Visit Our Online U.S Shop View items    This Adirondack Chair Plan are more than just furniture; they’re a timeless gift that lasts for decades.
