Outdoor Sectional

This was my first official attempt at wood working. We desperately needed outdoor furniture, but I couldn't find any modern pieces close to our price range. I finally worked up the nerve to attempt to build it for seating at a couples shower we were hosting at our house.

Thanks to Ana's well thought out plans and a Kreg Jig, everything came together really well.

I purchased the wood at a local wholesaler and saved lots over the big box stores. Although I did find the cushions at Lowe's.

I have an extra bottom seat cushion that I plan on using for an ottoman in the future.

At first the project was pretty intimidating, but it became much easier with each piece. My one recommendation is to lay all of your pieces out and carefully plan where you'll need the Kreg screws before you begin assembling.

 

Thanks so much Ana! I'm really looking forward to tackling more of your projects soon!

I will be finishing it with a "graywash" technique, by thinning a medium gray oil-based paint and rubbing it into the grain and wiping off the excess.
