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!
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!
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!
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 ❤
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!
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.
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!
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.
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. 🖤
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
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!
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.
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.
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. 😊👍
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.
@@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.
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!
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!
I built a rendition of this last weekend (2 couches rather than a sectional) and they turned out fantastic! I opted to use 6" deck boards for the seat portion, only took 4 and I felt it kept the overall project a little cheaper and lighter weight. Thanks for the tutorial!
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! 👍👍✌
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:)
Wow.....i lived in Juneau a long time and wish I saw this then now im down in West Texas and im very impressed! Patio furniture is outrageous and this is a great idea.
We built the sectional and your coffee table last week. Your plans are key!! We love how it came out…thank you! Took about 3 hours to build both and cost $200 for lumber and screws total (the cushions were the most expensive part).
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!
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!
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!
Just built this complete set...it was easy and looks great. I agree with others concerns about structural integrity. A LOT of weight put onto deck screws and I think it is a real weakness in the design. I loaded it up with screws inside and out on both sides, angling them down toward the load bearing boards and added additional supports. A couple modifications made it cheaper, easier and hopefully more durable. Using all 2x4x8's I simply cut it to 72 and then used the remaining 24 1/2 for the cross pieces. Too easy, and only 1 inch difference. I also cut a couple 8 1/2 inch support legs to help hold weight in the middle of each piece and towed them into the bottom (cut a blade's width shorter than the legs so it doesn't wobble) That's my experience. Good luck
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!
+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
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?!
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.
I have to admit that you made my mind settled for what i want! I saw several options but looked kind of difficult to me. You inspired me to to this one because you did it so smooth and easy… it’s not that easy if you don’t have the correct tools ⚒️ so i will go ahead and buy the tighter tool and the hole maker. Thanks Ana
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
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!
Can't remember if I left a message or not, but want to thank you for your video and designs. We extended our home this year and needed bespoke seating for a second internal lounging area, the sofa + sectional worked a treat. Decided on a white washed look. Looks great 👌
That is awesome, I'd love to see a photo if you could share to me at anawhitesite@gmail.com I'd love to see the whitewash finish! You could also share to our Facebook page.
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.
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
This is amazing! I’m going to definitely be making this. My husband is the handy man, but you have inspired me to do this!!!!! Thank you. Will show you pics.
You Scored with your Viewers😂. I'm building a Tiny House on Wheels, & your Couch Style is what I'm going to build also, however mine will be inside. Very nicely done🏆. Ty for the Tutorial! I bid you & yours Good Health & Many Hours of Enjoyment on your beautiful DIY Couch🎈
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.
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 👍🏼
Hi Ana, I hope you are very well. I am a new follower of your channel. I tell you that I have gone through a series of bad streaks in my life and you are a great inspiration to continue with my projects. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Medellín (Colombia).
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.
thank you Anna for this sofa Project, yesterday i realized the one arme sofa, and today en in the evening i will finish the second part the tow arme sofa. i will send photos of the project as soon as i finish it.
Ana, I'm currently building the sectional, however I don't have the proper tools to ease my work load. But this project looks amazing. I can't wait to finish it.
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!!
Seeing a lot of comments about the weight being carried by decking screws. These comments are all correct. There are a few reasonably easy ways to make this much stronger. Scroll to 5:15 into the video and pause it. Spend some time looking at the structure. If you know even the most basic carpentry/framing concepts, it will be very easy to see where you can create load bearing studs, rather than weight bearing joints secured by screws. Here are three examples" 1. The front left leg of the "armless" section: instead of joining the front cross support and side cross support the way that she did it, cut the post (the leg) down by the width of a 2x4 (3.5"). Now those 2x4's will rest ON TOP of the leg. If you use a kreg jig on the font side of the leg and the side of the leg, and then pocket drill one of the cross supports as well, you can connect all of those pieces with 1 1/4' pocket screws. This will be SUBSTANTIALLY stronger and will last much longer. 2. Where the "armed" cross supports meet the post (the leg), take the leg and on the front side "notch out" the depth of the 2x4 that mounts to the face of the leg. This is relatively easy to do with a table saw - set your saw blade to the depth of a 2x4 (1.5") mark the leg where you want the notch, and then begin making cuts the full width of the notch. Now when the cross support meets the face of the leg, it will sit in the notch and will direct the load through the post/leg. You can screw the face of the cross support to the leg once it is in the notch. 3. Where the side cross support meets the "armed" post (behind #2 above), instead of joining the cross supports together the way that she does (we already blew this up in #2), you will pocket drill the cross support that attaches the front and back legs so that it sits flush in between the front and back legs. Now, you will sister a stud on both legs (the backside) so that the pocket joint will rest on that "stud". Attach the stud to the leg however you like (screws most likely). If you do the 3 above, it is a little more work, but there will be far fewer load bearing screws and it will be much sturdier.
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!

Glad you liked it!
The good thing about cedar is that it's very light. Easy to move around. Good job.
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!

+Djamel Ben Awesome, can't wait to see it!
OMG you're hot! I could watch you build stuff all day!!
This is super easy one of the easiest of seen so far me and my husband chose your build plan to do!
Do you have a sister?? :)
Nice Ana. I have been looking for a nice project during the covid19 lock down. This is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks
This is awesome! I'm going to build this for my wife for our porch. Thank you Anna. Great video and plans.
Ana, I'm currently building the sectional, however I don't have the proper tools to ease my work load. But this project looks amazing. I can't wait to finish it.
+Gina “GinaD2014” M. Awesome, hope you can share your build Gina!
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!!
Going to make these this weekend - love the simple design!
Enjoy!
I love it...I saw this video some years ago.and now Im gonna make it to my dad.
Fantastic, you will love it!
@@AnaWhiteDIY you replyed! hello from Chile!
Seeing a lot of comments about the weight being carried by decking screws. These comments are all correct. There are a few reasonably easy ways to make this much stronger. Scroll to 5:15 into the video and pause it. Spend some time looking at the structure. If you know even the most basic carpentry/framing concepts, it will be very easy to see where you can create load bearing studs, rather than weight bearing joints secured by screws.
Here are three examples"
1. The front left leg of the "armless" section: instead of joining the front cross support and side cross support the way that she did it, cut the post (the leg) down by the width of a 2x4 (3.5"). Now those 2x4's will rest ON TOP of the leg. If you use a kreg jig on the font side of the leg and the side of the leg, and then pocket drill one of the cross supports as well, you can connect all of those pieces with 1 1/4' pocket screws. This will be SUBSTANTIALLY stronger and will last much longer.
2. Where the "armed" cross supports meet the post (the leg), take the leg and on the front side "notch out" the depth of the 2x4 that mounts to the face of the leg. This is relatively easy to do with a table saw - set your saw blade to the depth of a 2x4 (1.5") mark the leg where you want the notch, and then begin making cuts the full width of the notch. Now when the cross support meets the face of the leg, it will sit in the notch and will direct the load through the post/leg. You can screw the face of the cross support to the leg once it is in the notch.
3. Where the side cross support meets the "armed" post (behind #2 above), instead of joining the cross supports together the way that she does (we already blew this up in #2), you will pocket drill the cross support that attaches the front and back legs so that it sits flush in between the front and back legs. Now, you will sister a stud on both legs (the backside) so that the pocket joint will rest on that "stud". Attach the stud to the leg however you like (screws most likely).
If you do the 3 above, it is a little more work, but there will be far fewer load bearing screws and it will be much sturdier.
Wouldn't it be easier to just use glue? :)
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!
