Finished my set of patio furniture! (lemmy.zip)

Hello! I recently got into woodworking and built this sectional set over the past few months!

I bought the plans from Shara Woodshop Diaries. They were very well done and easy to follow.

The sectional and chaise obviously took the longest. It had a couple of tricky glue jobs but I think it turned out alright.

The coffee table and side table I started and finished over the last two days. I took my time and think I did better than on the sectional.

This is all pressure treated wood. I will stain it sometime but haven’t picked a stain yet. Figured it needs time to dry out anyways.

Anyways, this is my first post here - figured I’d share!

That looks fantastic! I'll have to look at what other plans Shara has.

I built a patio set out of cedar a few years back and while the wood has held up beautifully, the unsupported span on the sofa is just tool long for the dimensions of the wood and it flexes more than I would like - it's got me itching to build something new!

Thanks!

The long sofa part of this has a middle support which was pretty interesting to build I thought.

I want to use cedar but I’m cheap and didn’t want to screw up and waste nicer wood 😅
