Specifics of the DIY outdoor sectional

These DIY outdoor sectional sofas not only feature the beauty of natural wood but are also extremely resilient and requires minimal maintenance. Using sold 2×4 lumber pieces ensure a long lasting and quality piece of furniture that will last through years of use, abuse, wear, and tear. Wood furniture can often last for generations.

The arm rests of the DIY patio bench are reinforced by additional 2×4 lumber pieces to prevent pillows and cushions from falling through.

The sturdy frame is jointed with simple screws and reinforced with glue. This not only makes the build easy and beginner friendly, but it also makes the bench able to support multiple people sitting on it at one time.

Once the outdoor sofa is done, you can make it comfy and cozy by adding cushions, pillows, and blankets. Cushions can be purchased from a store, or you can also have cushions custom made for the DIY patio bench. The seating platform is made to accommodate 24 in x 24 in base cushions and variable height (minimal 12 inches tall) back rest cushions. Cushions that are a little different then 24 in x 24 in typically work just fine.
