Hey friends, let's build an outdoor sofa! To be honest, this was a much easier build than I expected it to be and it turned out even better than I expected, too! I built it in just one day (filming it at that...which makes everything take way longer). But, full disclosure, I did come back the next day and disassemble it to change one thing about the design. If I hadn't been filming it to show you guys, I wouldn't have had to disassemble and reassemble for the camera haha. I could have just swapped a couple pieces. So TECHNICALLY it took me two days. But it should only take you one :) Lucky for you, you don't have to deal with design changes because I've provided the step by step build plans so all you have to do is grab your materials and get started. You'll be lounging on your new outdoor couch by the end of the weekend.
