Thanks everyone for the love! Just to answer a few questions.. The loungers have been sitting ...»
out in the yard for over a year now and they're still doing fine. Only time will tell how long they will last :)
You can probably stack more pallets to raise the height of the chair. The pallets I used weigh a ton and hold themselves in place on their own. The only thing I can think of that might mess things up is that the proportions of the chair might look funny? But try it by all means if it'll help your knees out!
When we use these we put cushions on them to make them comfy. At the time these pics were taken I didn't have any cushions yet and you see the construction better without cushions. An umbrella for the table is on the to-get list as well as a new fence :) Won't paint the spool table top since it's only there while waiting for the "real thing". It's all a work in progress at our place so nothing is perfect, please excuse the imperfections :)
