OUTDOOR CHAIR CONSTRUCTION
The Cutting Diagrams show how each piece of lumber is to be broken down.
Refer to the Detail Drawings to determine the shape of complex components.
The components are numbered in the order they are assembled.
2x4 Pressure-Treated Lumber
Three (3) boards 10' long are required for components #1 through 7.
5/4" Pressure-Treated Decking
Two (2) boards 10' long are required for components #8 through 11.

OUTDOOR CHAIR ASSEMBLY

1.1 Position the Front Leg (1), Rear Leg (2), and Arm Crossmember (3)
as shown.
1.2 Confirm the dimensions at the top and bottom of the legs and secure
each joint with 2½" Deck Screws.
When installing the screws take care to leave room in the center of the
joint for a bolt that will be installed later.
• Connect the Seat Rails (4) to the Seat Sides (5) with 3" Deck Screws.
The front and back Seat Rails should overhang the Seat Sides by 3/4".
STEP 1. SEAT ASSEMBLY STEP 2. SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY

NOTE:
• To ensure the chair is assembled accurately, the seat and back components are
initially secured to the legs with screws. Once the structure is self supporting,
bolts will be placed at the center of the most critical joints.
• To preserve the integrity of the pressure treated lumber, a sealer should be
applied to all cuts prior to assembly.
• Previewing the assembly instructions and noting the location of screws and
bolts will help ensure a fasteners are properly located.
• Clearance holes should always be drilled before installing wood screws or bolts.
Doing so makes it easier to align the joint, creates a stronger joint, and reduces
the chance of splitting the wood.

Part of the seat rail is not
shown to improve visibility.
Note the position of the seat rails. The rails
overhang the legs and rest on them.
OUTDOOR CHAIR ASSEMBLY (continued)
3.1 Position the Back Upright (6), beveled end down, in the rear corner of
the seat frame.
3.2 Secure the Back Upright to the seat frame with two 3" Deck Screws
driven through the rear Seat Rail (4).
3.3 Drive a single 3" Deck Screw through the Seat Side (5) into the
Back Upright.
3.4 Install the second Back Upright in the same manner.
3.5 Secure the Back Rail (7) to the top of the Back Uprights with 3"
Deck Screws.
4.1 The seat assembly is installed with a 5° seat slope from front to back.
The slope is created by attaching the seat assembly to the legs at the
dimensions shown. The front seat rail rests on the front legs 13¾" up
from the base of the leg. The measurement is made along the outer
edge of the front leg.
4.2 The rear seat rail rests on the rear legs 12¼" up from the base of the leg.
The measurement is made along the outer edge of the rear leg.
4.3 Confirm that the span of the legs is 27¾".
4.4 Secure the seat assembly to the Legs and Arm Crossmember with 2½"
Deck Screws, located as shown.
