How to make a wooden chaise lounge with your own hands: Instructions for folding and monolithic model

We tell why it is worth choosing a tree, how to handle it and give instructions for assembling a monolithic and folding chaise chain.

Collect the usual chaise lounge from the tree with their own hands is easy. No professional skills are required for this. To work, you will need a home hand tool, blanks from lumber and fittings. The simplest design consists of a frame, covered with boards, with attached to it supports. To be easier to transport it, the wheels are installed on the back side. Folding models consist of two movable frames bonded by hinge. One of them is inserted into the other at an angle. The front part of the first and rear of the second perform the function of the legs. To secure the chair in a certain position, the struts are inserted between the straps. It is mounted on the top baguette hinges and is inserted into the lower grooves. Instead of the board, the tissue is often used.

Selection and features of the material

At the board and BRUSEV have its advantages and disadvantages. Positive qualities are more.

Metal is easier and more reliable, but it quickly heats up in the sun. In addition, to make bearing elements, you will have to use bolted connections that will spoil the appearance and constantly cling to clothing. The bolts with nuts have only one alternative - a welding machine. To work on it, you need to have skill.

Plastic is difficult to process. The usual PVC has low strength, quickly fades in the sun and melts at a temperature of 60 degrees. Long contact with metal and plastic is unpleasant, so they are better to use as a carrier base.

Natural wood is harder and volume, but these properties are less important compared to the appearance and sensations that it gives. It is inferior to the strength of steel, but standard factory products are able to withstand a lot of weight. Load capacity depends on design features. The advantage of self-made models for giving is to be able to set their technical parameters.

Properties of boards and bars depend on the breed. Spruce and pine are slightly soft. They are easier to process. The disadvantage is resinity. In the presence of resin, the part item cannot be covered with varnish. Large breeds have high decorative qualities. They are harder and stronger, so working with them will have longer. The highest durability in ash, beech and oak. Breeds can have many differences, but they are all perfectly suitable for the trim and carrier frame.

When looking for a suitable design and reflecting on how to assemble a deck chair with a tree, you can find a lot of interesting ideas in the photo. The material is easy to process and allows you to create any, even the most unusual forms.

How to protect an array from moisture and sun rays

The surface must have good diligence, cold and summer heat. So that the material does not scatter and not dispelled, it must be treated with protective compositions. If there are gray spots on the surface, they should be considered - otherwise the product will not last long. With deep penetration, the fungus is better to take another workpiece.

Antiseptic treatment

Antiseptic solutions are used to protect against microorganisms. First, the billets are dried. So that they do not get bent and do not share the crack, you should choose a soft mode. It is best to dry them in the sun in warm dry weather. In the prefabricated elements it will be necessary to process not only the surface, but also the openings under the accessories. If they fall into them and moisture will fall, rotting.

Processing is carried out before assembly. First, the details are grinding with coarse sandpaper, removing the upper grungy layer and making the surface smooth. Then pass its shallow skin.

The solution is applied with a brush or roller. Time is counting so that he can dry.

Lacrification of prefabricated elements

In the course of operation, legs will have to be often located in crude grass. Contact with a wet surface will destroy the fibers if they are not covered with varnish. Alone antiseptics will not be enough.

To reduce the extraction of varnish, the fibers are ground with liquid wax, factory primers or a solution of PVA glue in water. After drying, the details are grinding fine-grained emery paper.

Before making a chaise lounge from a tree with your own hands, you need to think through its appearance. To emphasize the texture of ash or oak, it is better to take a alcohol transparent varnish. For coniferous rocks that do not differ from high decorative characteristics, the oil composition is suitable. It is also used for painted surfaces.

Alcohol varnish has different shades. Light and dark rocks are processed by varnish corresponding to them in color. It is applied with subtle layers. The first two serve as a primer, impregnating fiber and closing pore. After their drying, the coating is grinding fine-grained emery paper, and then put the third layer. A few days later - after its final drying - laid the last, clean.

Treatment with oil scene passes in three stages. Each layer will dry for 6-24 hours.

To work, use a brush or tampon from the fabric. In order not to be left, the surplus on the fabric or brushes are considered a smooth plate. The stripes are stacked with the allen in one third. Movements should be fast. It should not be done many times in the same place - it will spoil the appearance of the coating.

Making a monolithic design with a rising back

To assemble a wooden chaise lounge with your own hands, you need drawings with sizes. Dimensions of one detail depend on the other. All proportions and ratios must be calculated in advance. Do this in the process will not be able to do.

Consider for the example the easiest option. The base is a rectangular horizontal frame on the legs. The headboard rises and lowers, allowing you to transform the chair in the sun bed. The lining consists of lacquered boards.

Tools for work

• Roulette and pencil.
• Corolnic
• Haves and electrolybiz.
• Drill and drills with a diameter of 4 cm.
• Screwdriver.
• Sandpaper or Bulgarian with grinding circle.

Necessary materials

• Boards 2.5x10 cm - we will make a frame and flooring.
• 4x4 cm brus for legs.
• Studs - devices that make it possible to raise and lower the back, turning it in the connection site with the base.
• Metal furniture corners connecting the sides of the frame box.
• Galvanized steel screws.

Seat assembly

Set the dimensions arbitrarily. Take for example the overall dimensions of 2x0.6 m. The length of the headboard is 0.6 m. It will rise and fall on the overall basis, coinciding with its edges.

Boxes are collected from the boards and fasten from the inside with furniture corners. We will need 2 billets 2 m and two to 60 - 10 - 2.5x2 = 45 cm. Of the total width, we pulled out the thickness of the parts and made an indent of 5 cm on each side.

From the inside, we attach supports with a height of 0.5 m. They protrude beyond the ten centimeter base by 0.4 m. Each crepim on two screws 6 cm long.

We are wearing the finished frame with the same elements of a width of 0.6 m to the place where the headboard is located.

There are several ways to make a seat. Instead of legs, you can set the wheels with a diameter of 10 - 20 cm. There are shortened models without rear supports. They are more convenient to sit than lying. The back of the body is placed on the ground. The sidewalls of a wavy shape drink from large wide boards. This technique allows you to create an unusual contour. In addition, the wavy relief allows you to take a more convenient position. Collecting a chaise lounge with her own trees, looking at the photo and drawings, it is easy to find your own technical solution.

Mounting back

It is arranged in the same way as the basis. The design is an internal frame. It should be placed in the main one. In order for the movement when climbing and lowering anything prevented, it is necessary to leave a gap with an outer frame equal to several millimeters. If this is not done, when swelling and mechanical deformations, the inner side will stop being placed in the space allotted for it. General dimensions - 0.6x0.6 m. Rama in the headboard will be shorter than 5 cm so that the legs do not interfere with it to close. Her width is calculated, sulfing the thickness of the prefabricated elements from the width of the hidden part: 0.45 - 0.5 = 0.4 m.

The side opposite to the headboard, attack on the studs. Under them will need to drill a hole by their size.

In the trim from the edge will need to make a handle. One of the options is a hole for hand. With a big step between the elements of the plating, the handle can not be done.

Installation of the lock

This detail keeps the back at a certain angle. The simplest solution is the board installed on the edge into the grooves on the frame. What she closer to the legs, the higher the frame raised. The depths of the grooves should be missed so that the retainer does not fall out. Usually 3-5 cm is sufficient at the height of the edge 10 and the width of 2.5 cm. This method has a disadvantage - there are noticeable tracks from the corner of the holder.

There is another way. He is more laborious. The inner baguette consists of two frames: opens and stationary. The first is located on top, the second - bottom. It is firmly fixed on the basis of screws. It did the grooves of 2-3 cm deep. The height of each of them is 5 cm. The frame of the head of the stud is mounted on the frame inserting into the grooves. It is collected from two parallel rails that are attached to the studs, and one rounded between them. The grooves make a slightly wider diameter. It is better to arrange them at a slight angle so that the rounded raik is easier to enter them.

Installation of a folding wooden deck chair do it yourself

It consists of two frames interconnected in the form of the letter "x". The front part of the first and rear - the second perform the function of the legs. Between the upper sides of the fabric is stretched. The location of the intersection of two prefab elements of elements is shifted toward the seat. The design is a lung portable chair, resembling a hammock that can be folded and layered by adjusting the height of the head of the head. Its position is changing using a retainer working on the same principle as in monolithic models. The tensioned tissue serves and the back, and the seat.

Necessary materials

• Bruks 25x60 cm.
• Rake round cross section with a diameter of 25 cm.
• Nails, hairpins or bolts with nuts.
• The canvas 50x200 cm. Sailing is suitable, tarpaulin, tick for mattresses, denim cotton fabric. Do not use synthetics. With long-term contact with the skin, it causes irritation.

Step-by-step manual instructions

The bars make two frames - the outer 1.2x0.6 and the inner 1.1x0.55 m. They are grinding, then coated with antiseptic and varnish.

In the longitudinal elements, the holes for the heels are made at a distance of 0.4 m from the front edge. Typically take diameter 8 - 10 mm.

On the back of the inner baguette, the logs are cut out the grooves for the retainer. This item is attached at a distance of 0.4 m from the top of the back formed by the back of the external baguette. The retainer is collected from two bars installed on the body, and racks with a circular cross section, which is stacked in the grooves.

Both baguette and the retainer are connected using spills or screws. Connections must be movable.

The fabric is nailed to the tops of the frame. When the chair is in the unfolded state, it should slightly sign, forming a seat with a back. Instead of fabric, you can pull two parallel belts to which the varnished boards perpendicular to them are sewn. There are other technical solutions that allow you to create a lung portable chair.
