Pallet Wood Projects for Outdoor Spaces
After building all the projects in this book, what better way to relax by the pool or in the garden than in your hand-built deck chair? The wheels under the frame make this chair very easy to move around the terrace, so you can chase the sun or shade.

Step 2
To attach the short front legs to the longer back legs, pre-drill two holes through the back legs ½ and 1¼ inches (1 and 3cm) from one edge (think of how two dots look on a dice—that’s the position of these holes). Glue and screw the angled ends of the front legs under the frame, making sure that the angled ends of the front legs slope down and inward. Use 2½-inch (65-mm) screws.

Step 3
For the seat, cut six pallet wood planks 20 inches (50cm) long and sand smooth. Glue and screw five of these planks to the legs, with the front plank overhanging the front legs a little. Use the 1¼ -inch (30-mm) wood screws and pre-drill the holes to prevent the pallet wood splitting. (Reserve the sixth plank to use in step 8.)
