Backyard Builds: Wood Plank Loveseat

If you’ve been looking for perfect outdoor seating for your backyard or patio, but have found readymade options to be lacking in both charm and durability, this project’s for you! Build your own gorgeous and sturdy wood plank loveseat, then customize it with colorful stains or paints to suit your style.

Backyard Builds: Wood Plank Loveseat

If you know your way around a workshop, and fancy yourself reasonably handy with a miter saw and a drill, this slightly-above-beginner-level project is a great way to hone skills like drilling pocket holes, following basic building plans, and finishing wooden surfaces.

Working in a smaller space or don’t have time to do the full build in one sitting? No problem! Each side is assembled individually, so you can work at your own pace, then bring each section together at the end to build the full frame.

Ready to give it a try?

Check out the free wood plank loveseat plans from Jamison over on Rogue Engineer to get started.

This is definitely one of those satisfying weekend projects that the whole family will use and appreciate for many years to come!
