Want to make your own?

Follow the steps below to complete this project.

Step 1:

Making The Cut



When making the cut, one thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to be very precise and cut them all according to the measurements. You can use a table saw or a circular saw or even a jig saw but here I have decided to use a miter saw. This design is fairly easy to adapt depending on our long our large you need it.

Step 2:

Rounding up the edges


In order to give nice feeling when seating on the chair, I am rounding up the edges here using a round over bit with a dewalt router. Note that I am repeating the same process on each of those slat.

Step 3:

Making the holes


Before inserting the Rope, I have creating the different holes with a diameter of 12 cm.

Step 4:

Assembling



To assemble them you will previously need to prepare 4 Rope of 50 or 60 com long (Depending on your chair measurements) then insert each in each holes following the pattern of your design.


Step 5:

Take a seat or as we say it in French: Installez-vous! icon


Now that we have one, We could make even a set of 4 and prepare the next summer on the balcony...

    Quote: "different holes with a diameter of 12 cm". I am guessing this should be 1.2 cm or 12 mm? ;-)

    By any chance are those chairs collapsible for easy storage for winter? Or maybe just take off or loosen the rope? Thanks for the info and help, what a great idea! :-)
