โ›ฑ Lounger with their hands from a tree: how I managed to

Comfortable beds we used to see at the resorts. Somehow they do not occur as often in everyday country life. Whether cottagers and gardeners use them once, or they simply can not buy in our latitudes? As for use - so there will probably a minute or even an hour or two to soak in the sun, but with the acquisition of a real problem. But what if you make a chaise lounge with your hands? Is it difficult? It turns out that there is nothing particularly complicated. And the proof of that - the material from the marina Bortsova who came the other day to the editor HouseChief.

Greetings to all those who can not sit on the spot! I am also among you, since from spring to autumn live in the country, leaving the city only in the winter, when my site sweeps the road. To be honest, I do not choose the sea is already 7 years old, and not particularly suffer in this regard. Why do I need to get sunburn, live in an apartment or spend money on a hotel for dubious pleasure bleeders on the beach? If we go anywhere, it is only for the sake of vivid impressions, and the beach I can organize themselves and the country. I have a small frame pool, which quickly warms the water in the sun. Until complete happiness I was missing only a couple of sun loungers, where you can relax and sunbathe. So I decided to address this issue.

why wood

By the way, my first experience was a bad one, I bought a cheap plastic lounger, which burst in the first week. Either it was not designed for my modest weight, or was defective, I do not know, but I came to the conclusion that I need a good wooden chaise longue.

What are the advantages of the tree? First of all - strength, a lounger, certainly not fail. Another advantage - durability. With good handling and proper storage of a chaise lounge will serve more than a dozen years. And finally - a nice tree and eco-friendly material, which comfortably sit and lie, which does not overheat in the sun and chill in the cool weather. Solved!

I have reviewed many different options, schemes, and finally chose just such a model, which she took as a basis.

Sawing - cut materials and work

Immediately I confess that operated with carpentry tools I can. It is what it is. And in my arsenal it has everything you need - from a circular saw to sander. But it must be said that the chaise longue - not such a complicated structure that requires no special skills or tools. You can do a hand saw and sandpaper.

I bought five of timber and good flat board 2 cm thick for my lounge chair. I partially dissolves the board on rails, but you can simply buy a ready-made materials
