What are the specs of this patio sectional design?

The entire backyard sectional DIY sofa is made from 2x4s. This makes it cost efficient and easier to build. The sectional is actually 3 separate sofas that can be moved away from each other if needed. The two end benches are designed for 3 cushions and have both armrests on them. The central bench is for 3 cushions and has no arm rest. The build for all 3 benches is pretty much the same with only a few changes. This is great because it makes the build easier if you’re a newbie to woodworking and don’t have much experience.

The sofa uses 24 inch x 24 inch base cushions. The back rest cushions are 24 inches x 18 inches. Cushions can be purchased from stores like Home Depot, Lowes, Target, or made. If you have cushions that are slightly different in size, they should still work well with the design because of the large size of the benches and the flexibility of the cushions.

Pillows can act as an accent piece to make you patio sectional really stand out. Great outdoor pillows can be purchased on the Home Depot online website. They have a huge selection with beautiful designs.
