Thank you for the inspiration Ana! Angie and I tried our hand at three of your designs. We're not proficient, but your designs are clear and easy to follow. Everyone that comes over says they love the patio furniture! Here's wishing you and yours all the best!
I have been wanting to build something like this for years now. Way to go Anna,looks great. The only thing I ll do different is use 1x for the decking. Good job!
Your videos are unlike others your very straight forward and very easy to understand! You’re not like others that are way to technical, thanks again!🎉
I appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching!
Love you! where have you been all my life? i could have been building with much greater skill had i learned from you earlier. thank you for your kind generosity and sharing your mother's day with us!
I built the couch and coffee table over the past week. They look fantastic thanks to the easy to follow plans. Only thing I would recommend - The plans say you can use 2 1/2 “ or 3“ screws. Definitely do not use 3”. I used 3” and the screws come through the other side of the wood in multiple areas because they were slightly too long. Other than that, this is a great couch and tons of fun to make!
Thanks for the feedback!
I love Ana's simple, functional designs. I built her queen sized farm bed but used some cherry lumber I'd had around for a while. It was a solid design that came together really nicely with a couple of modifications.
Definitely a straightforward build. I like the simplicity of it.
Just built the one arm today! Sanded it down smooth and rounded all of the edges. Tomorrow I’m building the no-arm and the coffee table! Thank you! My mom loves it! It’s gonna go great with the deck and pergola we are building. Staining to match!
How long did it take you to build?
Where can I get the cushions from??
Absolutely Amazing! It’s beautiful. My husband is going to build me the same one for our porch that we are currently redoing. He’s a cabinet maker and built our lake house. Thanks Ana for the inspiration. Love it! I hope that I can find the same cushions too, or some that are similar. 🖤
We have five kids and we had been looking for a garden bench for a while. Ive just finished a four seated one just like you show here and the kids are already sitting on it. We all love it! Thank you very much!
I built the couch on Monday and my fiance loves it! I will finish the sectional piece tomorrow. Thank you for this!!! It is perfect for what we wanted.
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
Ana is the reason I originally started doing woodwork. I love her and her designs so much. Thank you Ana for all the wonderful patterns and ideas.
+pamela Allen Hi Pamela, that is very flattering! I am so happy you find the content helpful!

Thank you so much for posting this and sharing your plans!! I've been looking everywhere for an easy to follow step by step video of an outdoor sectional that still LOOKS GOOD and yours fits the bill! So glad I found channel!
This is so awesome, what is truly great about it is the simplicity, most furniture diy videos require lot's of additional tools and cuts, this is straight to the point on screw sizes and 2 x 4, thank you so much! I'll be trying to do this soon.
Great Daniel! Thanks for watching:)
I've been waiting for a set that looks just like this to go on sale but lately I've been interested in making things. This looks like a perfect project for me! Maybe in spring. Thanks a bunch, Ana.
+JayXX Can't wait to see your build come spring!
The good thing about cedar is that it's very light. Easy to move around. Good job.
I just found your channel and I think you're my hero! I home school my 8 children and I like finding projects we can manage without Daddy's help. I think we could do this!
+Andrea Mills You can absolutely do it! Thanks for watching:)
SWEET! Thanks Ana! You definitely made sure it wouldn't break.
I am glad I saw your video and thank you. I just finished the couch section and later after work I will start building the other section. It was a lot of fun and it is so easy. Thank you again Anna and more power to you.
Built the couch today, thank you! Love your videos
I cant wait to try this! You always have such easy to follow projects! Love it!
+Beverly McCarthy Hi Beverly, Can't wait to see yours!
This is awesome! I'm going to build this for my wife for our porch. Thank you Anna. Great video and plans.
what makes you different from a lot of DIY videos is that your virtual visual design on how it was put together made it easy and dummy proof.
Thank you!
I am a big fan of your projects. I've been reading them from your website or pinterest. I am excited that you have a youtube channel as well. Thanks, great projects as always:)
Always brilliant when beautiful Anna builds it.
Thanks:)
I made one today and I have to say that it was extremely easy to make. Well now on to my next project...... Thanks Ana.....
Thank you for the free plans! I am def going to build this for my wife for our patio!!!! Great job and I love your videos!!!
simple,,sturdy,,and cedar...got to love it
Highly recommended for made diy outside sofa from home. Nice and beautiful.. ❤😊
Ana, I love your work! I will start doing a few things around the house using your ideas and videos. God bless you and your beautiful family.
You’re projects are so inspirational to me! Such simple modern design with clear instructions on the build! Great job Ana! 👍
Thanks so much! 😊
Great job. Love the deck railing with cow fence. Have you shown a project on that?
I love that you did this project by yourself! I’m a single mama and I’ve always wanted to do projects like these and you have officially motivated me! Thank you soooooo much! Also, where did you get the cushions or did you make them?
Hey there! I've never built anything like this before, and I built the regular couch and i'm doing the sectional today. I found the cheapest time to get these cushions was at Lowes after summer. I think for the top and bottom, I got both of those for 50 bucks per pair. I bought 6 pairs when they were on sale so I could have them all ready.
I think she mentioned in another video that she found them at IKEA
.
Hi, I've made a sectional before and the cushions can be pretty pricey so I made my sectional to fit 2 crib matress and that worked best for me since I already had one mattress. Also the crib mattress are water prove so cleaning them is super easy along with just throwing the crib sheet to wash. 😊👍
Made the sofa today and turned out amazing. Thank you!!!
It was great seeing you again Ana; it's been a long time. The piece is beautiful! There are several things I thought about as you built this. As most of you know when you built the first part to measure diagonally to ensure that it it square. You can use a router on all of the edges to make them look smoother. You could use a lighter material for the seat base. On the exposed screw heads, epoxy resin mixed with hardener then wood flour added can be applied like drywall compound. Then smoothed and sanded to cover the holes before varnishing. I'll have to subscribe to see what you've been up to since the tiny house episodes. Mark not Denise.
One smart DIY lady thumbs up👍👍
parabéns ótimo trabalho ,um abraço aqui do Brasil
Built this today - my wife is super happy... thanks for the inspiration... used 1x6 for seat decking.
Ana, beautiful job! I had wanted to do a project for deck furniture for years, now i can!
I've ordered up wood for this. A project for me to do during the civic lockdown here in the uk. Thanks for the great plans, had to tweek to suit our annoyingly different wood sizes.
Hello, where did you get your wood from? Finding lots of retailers very very expensive!
@@cj2420 I've ordered rough treaded wood and will sand and finish myself. With the lockdown I'm taking what I can get. The sanding will take time but that's all I have right now. Got my wood from a company called Shawfield Timber (Found online). A bit of a wait for delivery though.
@@steegal6929 I'll have a look. We have a sander so will look into this as what I have found so far is very ££££
Beautiful. Almost too good to be true.
And I like the couch too.
Short, simple and to the point video with very little supplies and tools! I love it!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the inspiration and design, Ana! We made ours with a little taller arms and back for our cushions. Love how it turned out! Thank you!
Wonderful!
Love it plan on building one form my vermont cabin
Thanks for sharing
From Vermont
спасибо за видео. 🇺🇸+🇷🇺=💗
This is super easy one of the easiest of seen so far me and my husband chose your build plan to do!
This is amazing!! My husband promised me last year we could make this sectional this summer. I’ve been anxiously waiting for it to warm up so we can get started! Thanks so much for the plans!
You're going to love it, I'd love to see what you come up with!
beautiful job....congratulations Ana...
Thanks Juan!

Juan Carlos Aquila ,
Very good video. I will add this to my to do list
Great, can't wait to see yours!
After watching this video i was already looking forward to seeing your next project since I've watched your tiny house videos too. Saw that i wasn't subscribed and was surprised! I quickly fixed that problem and hit the bell too.
I love this video and the idea. Very simple and easily explained. I will be making the shortly. Thank you from Philadelphia! Used to travel to Alaska when in the Navy. Beautiful place. You're awesome!! Keep building!!
Turned out Great! Love it! I'm Making a 3 piece sectional with a table in the middle.
This is gonna be of for state projects of do with my son I think the 25 by 25 looks good with a little bit of overhang What are the sizes of the cushions for the backrest
Absolutely Amazing. Do a Farm Style Dining table BUT make it simple like this one PLEASE??
Thanks for the suggestion!
id like that too
The 3d renderings for the bench in this video made it so easy to get this made! Tweaked the sizing to perfectly fit our balcony and now it looks the best around here!
Wonderful, I'm so happy to hear that!
Thankyou so much for the easy to follow video. Made too sofas and a table for the corner. Also saved a lot of money buy using decking boards as the seating instead of six 2x4s 👍🏼
I watched some of your projects and they are great thanks for sharing.
However I have noticed you don't use any glue nor joinery methods. Is there any reason?!
Hi, we do use glue, sorry if in some of the videos this isn't shown.
*cries in 2021 wood prices*
I can see why you're a beautiful young like the word recognized.I can see a beautiful Armenia, still warm against fancy.Why you like why your mom and if you're married
Ana your like the queen of simplicity. You just build your idea and enjoy it, meanwhile I’m still trying to build some elaborate project and it ends up never happening. You just keep cranking complete projects out. I love the stuff you build and look forward to new projects. Thanks
Thank you!
That is a solid sectional. I really like it.
Good work!
where did you get the cushions and how much were they....great video by the way
Its gonna turn gray over time. Might wanna put some kind of finish or varnish on it.
Ana White, you are God Sent. I am so happy you added the 3D modeling plan.
I built this 4 years ago and it still holds up ! My family loves it. I’m going to build one into my living room . I’m also purchasing an Automan to add to this couch!
Is the back comfy? I am looking to build this and im worried with the straight back that it wont be comfortable.
Has anyone made this to use as an actual sofa for the living room?Just wondering...beautiful!
I am going to attempt this next week. I'm tired of spending ridiculous money on livingroom furniture that maybe lasts 3 years at best. We have two big dogs and I need to be able to wash the upholstery. I'm a pretty good seamstress so I will be making my own cushions and arm rests that can be thrown in the washer. Wish me luck!
@@sheahardy1653 Exciting, share some images please.
Very Nice Project, i am planning to do it on next weekend. Can you also make Outdoor Swing?
Thanks, here are some swing plans

Thanks Ana.... :)
How much did it cost?

I have to tell you i love your videos and projects. Thank you for your hard work you out into this for us. Please keep it up. Thanks again.
+Zach Garn Thanks Zach for your support and kind words!
Thank you so much!!!! I have been searching for and wide for a tutorial like yours. Very simple and straight to the point 🙏
+Leia Ward Thank you, so happy you found us!
Where did you get the Pillows/cushions from?
Home Depot
which home depot?
oneofthree really?
You can buy them at Wal-Mart.
Very nice. I think the only things I'd change for me are making the back a little higher and angled.
+Robert Thomas Thanks for watching, that would be a nice mod!
+Robert Thomas i would use construction adhesive as well, and double up on the screws, lots of strain on those joints when 4 or 5 people are sitting on there
Especially when you drive a screw into end grain.

Okay I finished the couch and now need to do n n the sectional and the plans are gone
It’s wonderful to see a video and a woman doing this. I’ve always loved these kind of videos, but nervous to do it. Especially when walking into a Home Depot. Seeing you do this gives me confidence that I can do it too. Thank you girly ❤
You can do it!
Good job and you have a nice sunny spot on your deck this would go perfectly in my alfresco area.
Great video, loved your project. About how many 2x4 did you use?
It is written in the article above.. :-)
It's good to see the stodoys has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
Thanks for that Brandy :*
stodoys?
@@GinaKayLandis YES. You'll love it
So easy....just awesome. Can't wait to try this for my patio!
I really like your projects. They are really simple and nice.
Ana where did you purchase your cushions?
IKEA by the look of them
Anna. you forgot to add the 28 1/2" to your cut list.
JianT Cao where did you find the cut list? Thanks
Great job, looks sturdy and easy enough to accomplish. I'm sure that cedar will hold up well. 👍🏾
Just built two of the couches, super easy build and they look great! Thanks for the tutorial and super easy (free!) plans!
What was your all in cost?
I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from stodoys are the best.
Enjoy stodoys woodworking instructions.
Thank you so much for helping others with self efficiency! Nice to not have to rely on commercialism so much. THANK YOU!!!!!!
This is great. And you look so happy and comfortable. Thanks for sharing.
IT's great! Thanks:)
Thank you for the video! I'm not meaning this to come off as disrespectful at all but you should tie your hair back for future builds to prevent it from being caught.

Helping people with safety is NEVER disrespectful. I was just about to comment the same thing.
No glue at all? Lovely feet ;)
Stuart Smith good
Stuart Smith hi ms smith amazing all i can say

Great video, just what I needed for my deck.
Thank you for all the measurements and ideas!
OMG you're hot! I could watch you build stuff all day!!
Do you have a sister?? :)
I made the 3 seater but added 1 extra 72inch back support. Looks awesome. Just need to stain it now. Neighbours already appreciating the look and simplicity!
Nice craftsmanship, Ana
you designed that awesome couch/bed on a tiny house!! I just found your website because I couldn't find original video and you shared plans!!! found you in 2 places loved your work on both and just realized both were you lol. loving your work thus far, I'm subscribed
South Central Michigan here, and we have a snow storm heading in, looking at 8-12 inches. So this looks like what I need/want for my basement. So picking up 2×4s this week and I'll have something to do while it's snowing. I'm sure you can relate 😊. Thanks again! 👍👍✌
YES!
That is the best Sectional in TH-cam,thank you so much.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. I made a outdoor sectional. Finished today. Great
Hi Ana, found this video and you made it look and sound so simple and so gave it a go this weekend. Turned out great so far, just needs a bit of a light sand, some filling and a stain. May even take my router to it. Thank you for sharing this video, really encouraged me to give it a go.
Thank you for sharing this we completed ours and just love it Thank you again
You did a beautiful job explaining and showing
Great job! Project anybody can do and you explained it very well.
