To me, the beach chair we’re featuring today, says ‘vacation’, ‘relaxation’, ‘joy’, and ‘fresh air’ besides shouting ‘BEACHHHH!!!’
And so, NOW is the time, to be brave and go to the lumberman (or your own shed), pick up some wood and make one!
OK, girls n guys, let’s get handy with tools… We are in urgent need of beach chairs and deck chairs, so I’m featuring a rather easy beach chair DIY tutorial today, and next week Friday, a tutorial how to make an Adirondack chair (*) or love seat, all out of wood.
Mental Preparation
I would classify both these chairs more intermediate level DIY PROJECTS, however, sometimes it’s merely a matter of just beginning…
Just started considering that
you personally
would be able to make a chair.
What a thought is that!

Your own beach chair ?! Imagine how satisfied you’ll sit in it knowing that you made it?! |
Today’s Beach Chair Howto
Calling this a ‘how to’, I mean not to merely re-line a beach chair with a piece of new fabric and put then to it on the deck. No. I mean making our own comfy beach chairs from start to finish, including the wooden beams!
Now I’m lucky enough to have and today, to share with you, the complete step-by-step chair making instruction on how to make both an adult and child version of this chair.

Wonderfully done! Thanks for sharing. I will see you next week.
You are way too cool. This is gorgeous and how fun to have made your own.
Wow, what a great tutorial! How much lumber do I have laying around…
Thanks, this is a great tutorial and we need beach chairs. Not sure how much recycled materials I have around but we will try to find as much as we can. I love doing no cost projects, this will be a challenge!
