It's really that simple! This will make your backyard a thousand times more enjoyable this summer, so get ready to chill with friends and family. Want to see the full, detailed instructions?
See the step-by-step tutorial below:
Measure from the ground up where you want to make your cuts and mark with a Sharpie. I measured 14" from the ground up.
Lay a piece of painter's tape across the leg of the chair using the marks you made. This will give you a straight, clean line to make your cut.
Using a reciprocating saw, cut along the top edge of the tape and remove all four legs.
Sand the edges of the chair legs where you made the cuts.
This is what your chair should look like after you've removed the legs. In case you missed it, you can see the result in the video above!
Enjoyed the project?

hmmm wonder if it would float if you put a bunch of pool noodles on it to make it literally a pool chair.

Alicia Smith on Aug 12, 2017it's plastic, it'd float without the noodles

Yogi OLeary on Aug 14, 2017Only for a little while and once you get on it it will surely sink.

I would have loved to see Howe this turned out but my video wouldn't play. Can you send it to me, please. Thanks even if you can't. lmearls@gmail.com
I'm wondering if this would work on bleachers at a ball game? đŸ˜‰
