Due to the pandemic, garden furniture is in short supply in the UK at the moment as well as being really expensive.<br />I used your plans to make two of the chairs and then adjusted the plans to make a standalone wide bench and a low table.<br />It turns out UK 2"x4" is slightly different dimensions (3.75" wide X 1.75" deep) so I had to make a couple of amends to the cuts but I'm really pleased with the results. They are so sturdy, I am sure they will last for years.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07283817415066811010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-64583411479415199612021-03-16T22:30:53.427-04:002021-03-16T22:30:53.427-04:00I just bought it off-the-shelf at Lowe's! :)I just bought it off-the-shelf at Lowe's! :)Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-30796321792204932372021-02-26T12:20:37.477-05:002021-02-26T12:20:37.477-05:00Question: where did you get your lumber from?Question: where did you get your lumber from?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239464592710215643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-74293323717970713022020-07-07T11:11:36.312-04:002020-07-07T11:11:36.312-04:00Awesome!

That will give you the exact same sectional, just higher off the ground. If you want the back to be taller than mine, you need to add a few more inches to the back legs (in addition to the 3" to raise the seat). Hope that helps!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-83947487051009089902018-11-23T17:56:03.608-05:002018-11-23T17:56:03.608-05:00Hi....thanks so much for posting this using 2x4s. ...Hi....thanks so much for posting this using 2x4s. Something about using 1x4s seems a little unstable. So I’m gonna be making this soon for a friend of mine for her new patio. She wants the seating to be 17-18 inches high like a normal bench or chair height. I’m great at following directions but terrible at math and figuring out measurements on my own. Could you tell me what I would need to adjust in order to make the seats that tall and also to make the backs taller as well. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate your help.

There are a couple places it's nice to reinforce without the kreg holes (like screwing the legs to the aprons, which can be done from the back so it won't be visible) but you could use the kreg screws in those places if you don't want to buy a set of regular screws. :) Good luck!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-70884730170304696702015-04-14T12:58:16.060-04:002015-04-14T12:58:16.060-04:00I plan on using my kreg to try this for the first ...I plan on using my kreg to try this for the first time?
