Easy Pallet Chair

Check out this week’s DIY pallet project courtesy of
http://www.diy-craft.com/2013/06/diy-make-chair-by-pallet.html

These chairs are great for lounging around the fire, on the porch, by the pool, in the yard, or even in front of the TV.

This is a very easy lounge chair that can be made from 1 pallet. This will not work with all types of pallet. Notice the bottom boards are doubled up. This is good because the top piece will fit nice and snug when you assemble them. You will need to cut them apart from the inside. Make sure you only cut the inner boards. You will also cut the leg pieces from the inner section. Cut the legs about 12 inches. Determine the appropriate angle to cut the bottoms so they sit flush with the ground. When you attach the pieces, first attach the joints with only 1 nail each . That will allow you to adjust the angles of the chair. Once you decide the angles you need to secure each joint with 2 more nails.

Your next step is to decide if you want to stain, paint or just leave it natural. You could even add cushions.

 Thank you. Enjoy!

  1. Very neat idea, Lydia! I've actually built a few of these and even made a bench. They're surprisingly more comfortable than you would think! This is very creative. Love that you included a link and picture of the chair. Great way to get your readers active! Nice and timely, nice flow and layout. Overall great job! 28/30
