- DIY Outdoor Sofa - Our deck was in need of an update, so I built this outdoor sofa so we could sit more comfortably outside. Up next is a loveseat. Enjoy!
In case you were wondering, the price of this couch was around $200. That includes the wood, cushions, accent pillows, hardware, and the finish. :-)

Loved the video of you custom made it to the cushions size and adjusted the build as you checked for strength and longevity. This thing isn't going anywhere, but I would definitely used the furniture slides to protect the deck or patio from scratches. Well done!
Love the trick where you hide the screw on the miter joints by chiseling up a part of wood first! I’ve only seen that once before
Pretty neat, right? 😁
S👍
Really neat workmanship....great result.....
Beautiful work.
Were can I find the plans for the project?
Do you have plans for this - looks great!
Sooo cool. Thanks a lot
Hows it holding up, been about a year at this point and im debating going with pine or cedar.
Do you happen to have a material cut list for the sofa? A buddy of mine wants me to build him one of these.
Where can I find the material list for this?
Heya...wow so many great ideas....awesome video.
Warm greetings from Sunny Cape Town South Africa
Thank you
Wayne Haylett Thanks!
Hi, I really love the look of the sofa! c
Could you please let me know which type of finish did you use? And which brand? Thank you.
Arelys Alvarez Thank you!
I used Varathane Spar Urethane -semigloss. Thanks for watching!
Hi,
Great job and great video!
Thanks for posting it!
Is there any list of materials?
Thanks again!
Will be drafting written instructions soon!
Look great,, best I seen
Hi there’s a few vids on TH-cam showing you how to make a sofa, but I think this is by far the best so I’m going to try and make it. One thing though I didn’t quite catch the size of the wide planks. I know there was 10 4”x 2” used , what was the size of the other? Thanks.
Thanks! 😃
The wider boards at 1x6s.
Brilliant thanks
What are the measurement on those cushions?
Waww that is very good l want try makes in my home because l don't have cheir out door .. thx for this good ,you the best 👍
well done - ive watched dozens of these types of couch builds - this right here is how I will be doing mine - any insight on plans?
i realize I am quite off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new movies online ?
Those look excellent! Great work! I'm trying to find the cushions you used. Where'd you get them?
Thanks!
We ordered them through Kohl’s. 😃
@@WatchMeDIYIt Genius! I checked all the big box hardware stores and didn't find anything similar to what you had. Once again, I really loved the build.
Great job! You are a much better teacher than I, my friend. I love the hidden screw idea and the mitered corners on the armrest. Excellent video, keep posting!
Thank you, sir. I appreciate the kind words. 🙏🏽
Very nice
this is the first one Id seen with 45 degree mitres on the sides and looks alot better than the others. Is there any down side from weaker joint or more risk of water ingress ?
I haven't noticed any since I built it. 😁
Hey! Nice video. Do you have the drawing and materials for this one?
Not yet, but I will have a list soon.
WHAT TYPE OF WOOD DID YOU USE?
Very nice build. May I ask where did you buy the sofa's cushions? Many thanks for sharing !!!
I got them at Kohl's. Thanks for watching!
@@WatchMeDIYIt Thank you very much for your answer!!!
This turned out great, what type of wood did you use?… I also have cushions I had recovered and they are nice 30” by 30” . Do you have plans?…
I used 2"x4"s and 5/4"x6", but you can use 1"x6" instead of the 5/4"s.
Time to make another video brotha!! Let's goo
Haha. Perfect timing for your comment. Just uploaded a new video a couple of minutes ago. It’s unlisted, but will make it public tomorrow morning. Gracias!
Profesional !!
where are your plans for the couch? and where did you get your cushions. nice work
Got the cushions at Kohl's. I haven't published the Instructable yet. 🫣
Grascias por tu video, y compartir , para hacer ese hermoso sofa , gracias , por dar las medidas del sillon grande , puedes hacer un video, con las medidas del sillon chico .
Claro que sí! Lo tengo grabado, nomas que no he tenido tiempo. 😕
Hojala lo tengo listo antes de que se acabe el verano.
@@WatchMeDIYIt oka 👏🐶🐱🐺
Do you have plans available for this build?? Looks amazing
I don't yet, but should soon!
@@WatchMeDIYIt Hopefully really soon...like this week maybe???? I have looked at many outdoor sofas and I keep coming back to yours!! Thanks for the detailed video!
@@hoguejp I can't promise you, but I'll try my best. 🤞🏼
@@WatchMeDIYIt Thanks so much!!! I'm excited!
@@WatchMeDIYIt My husband and I bought the wood today. Hopefully I can do this! I'm excited to try it.
Idk if you just didnt show it but i really hope you glued every joint and you should of used 2.5 inch screws not 2 inch but looks good
William Doritty yeah. Maybe using slightly longer screws would’ve been better. Thanks for watching!
Do you have the link to the cushions?
I don't. Sorry. I got them at Kohl's.
Did you make the cushions or purchase them?
I got them at Kohl's.
Just curious why do you cut the ends of the top of the back rest and arm rests at 45% rather than just butt and pass?
I did it for aesthetics.
Thanks for watching!
I went to your website and don’t see this build on there? Looking for plans & tools used. Thank you!
Thanks for checking it out. The write up and list of tools is in the works. 😃
@@WatchMeDIYIt It would be really helpful. Looking forward to it
@@athreyashenoy will let you know.
Hola, ¿que madera es la que usaste para el proyecto?
daniel rodriguez Hola. La madera que usé la compré en Lowe’s. Segun la descripción de la madera, es “madera blanca” (whitewood) que puede ser una de estas especies: pino o árbol de abeto.
Gracias por ver el video.
Can i ask for the plan for this seat? A million thanks
I would also like the plans if possible
❤
Espanis como lo tradusco.gracias.
Como que, compa?
Con que parte necesitas ayuda?
your calculation for the length of sofa is off. Width of 2 X 4 is around 1.5 inch. so it should be (25.5 * 3) +3 = 79.5 ?
i mean instead of adding 2 inches shouldnt you be adding 3 inches?
This was to get the length of the surface for the cushions.
Wow, was that a bird that hit the camera ?
you wasted your glue--yellow glue is only for indoor use .and it's good you already had the cushions because they will run you eighty bucks a peice
This glue is interior/exterior.
Thanks for watching!
$80 if you pay retail. Gotta shop around for sales and use coupons when you can. 😉

Not easy enough for the simple non skilled guy. Too complicated
Thanks for watching!
Either eliminate those money grubbing ads by TH-cam or me no subscribe or watchy!.
...but did you watch this video? 😬
