Presented here are 22 practical pieces of outdoor furniture that anyone can build-from deck chairs and picnic tables to a box planter and big swing. These handsome projects can be made from affordable and readily available one-by and two-by lumber, using such basic woodworking tools such as a hammer, saw, drill, and clamps. Each project includes a detailed list of materials plus a shopping list to take to the home center, step-by-step instructions, and an assembly drawing that shows where each piece fits. The joints are made with nothing more complicated than glue and nails or screws. The projects can be finished with paint or varnish, or they can be left unfinished to weather naturally.
