by Rita and Cane
We built these lightweight, inexpensive Adirondack chairs from cedar fence boards. They don't require power tools or extensive skills! Step-by-step tutorial on our blog at http://www.thissortaoldlife.com/2012/07/07/adirondack-chairs-anyone-can-build/
Full steps at http://www.thissortaoldlife.com/2012/07/07/adirondack-chairs-anyone-can-build/
Full instructions are on the blog--includes a photo for each step.
These are super-lightweight, which makes them easy to move around your deck or yard.
Wide arms hold lots of stuff.

    What would you say the weight limit is on these Adirondack chairs? We have a son weighing in at 320lbs that seems to break every outdoor chair we buy! Lol

    I know this is a super old post, but your blog is around anymore and I can’t find the full write up for these anywhere online. I was wondering if you still have it or at least a cut list.
