If you want to build a wooden chair, but you want an exquisite design that will impress the loved ones and will add value to your backyard, then an adirondack chair might suit your needs.

As you can notice in the plans, you need to use quality lumber (pine, cedar or redwood), otherwise the components won’t be resistant to moisture and will have a nice appearance. Click the link to see a detailed adirondack chair plans.

On the other hand, you should also take into account building a basic bench with a simple design. If you know the basic woodworking techniques, you could build this bench in no more than 3-4 hours. Adjust the size of the bench to your needs and always pre-drill the components before inserting the galvanized screws. Round the exposed edges with a router, if you want to enhance the look of the bench. See step by step garden bench plans, by clicking the link.

If you have a large patio, deck or garden and you like to hang out with the loved ones during the weekends, we recommend you to build a wooden bar. Building an outdoor bar is a simple project and it also gives you the opportunity to adjust its designs and shape to your needs. Invest in quality materials and apply several coats of stain or paint to protect the components and to enhance the look of the bar.

 

Garden bridge

Last but not least, you could build a garden bridge, if you have a stream in your backyard, or if you want to create something unique with your hands. As you can see in the image, a wooden bridge is a simple structure to which you have to attach simple railings. If you have enough space in your garden, a simple bridge will create a charming area.
