Home Improvement : Building a Comfortable Redwood Chaise for Deck

Whether you are sunbathing or reading, everyone enjoys a day outdoors. This redwood set brings comfort, and you’ll save money making it yourself. Step-by-step instructions include photos, drawings and materials lists.

The chaise has a three-position back rest, arm rests and wide wheels to make moving and turning easy. Just fold up the shelf for easy access to a cool drink, and enjoy a few hours of pure relaxation. To make a complete set of long-lasting outdoor furniture, we also offer a sturdy chair and ottoman. Standard furniture pads are available at local home centers or patio shops.
