How to make a Outdoor Lounge Chair Design - video

[diyfixman]

My best ideas for DIY projects often emerge as a result of found items, upcycled treasures, or just using materials in unexpected ways. When I bought a new bed, I knew I could not throw away the roll of bed slats that came with my old one and made a plan to upcycle them. The contemporary design plan for this amazing outdoor lounge chair was built around a sheet of wooden bed slats that could have ended up in the trash but instead helped make a one of a kind piece of furniture! Everyone has items that they pick up or hang onto because they just know they’ll work for something. Don’t hesitate to use materials you find or have on hand to imagine up and create furniture designs like this one for your home.

Outdoor furniture options usually consist of plastic, wicker, or other less durable materials; and quality wooden outdoor furniture can be extremely expensive. I wasn’t happy with either of those options and created an outdoor lounge chair from upcycled wood bed slats and welded steel that will withstand the elements and has a unique, contemporary vibe impossible to find in stores! I love that the mixture of wood and metal creates a look that will always be in style and that I saved hundreds of dollars by building it myself.
