I always love when people say what they would have done differently. That is extremely helpful. Nice work
YES!
I have seen many videos of making these outdoor sofa but girl this was by far one of the best and easiest 👌🏼 thanks for sharing.
Yay! Thank you!
Yess so true
This video is the holy grail for me right now. I can’t wait to try it!!!!! THANK YOU 🙏🏾
Just found your page, and love all your projects. Just bought a house, and will be doing this for the back patio. This turned out so beautiful.
YES!!!! I ALWAYS stain all my pieces before I put them together, and this is the first time I've ever watched a video suggesting it.... SO much easier...
Ive realized it makes a nice difference!
Thank you so much for making this so easy to understand! I'm new to wood working and am very excited to start this project.
I'm just starting out wood working and I love seeing ppl create something out of a simple piece of wood. I've been picking up my tools a little at a time and one of the things I dont have is one of the things you said you didnt have, and that was the jig. I need to get one of those and then learn how to use it. I may try and build me a couch, however, I think I'll make a smaller version because I don't have the space. Thank you for making this video, it was very helpful!
I realized later that I used the kreg jig incorrectly in this video. It still got the job done, but there’s a better way to use it for sure!
I love learning about wood working and sharing it with kind people like you who give such positive feedback.
Thank you for the instruction video while you show your work. I am building my first ever outdoor furniture...well first build of anything of that size. I truly appreciate seeing the steps actual being done not just small diagrams on a screen or paper. It has given me better idea wtf I need to do. Puts a 3d plan in my head instead of a 2d paper concept. High 5 and wish me luck 🤪
This was my intention, so it pleases me that it is well received. Thank you!
Hi Megan, many thanks for posting this video. A friend asked if I could make her a bench to match a photo she'd found on the net. I found your video which was an almost identical design and built it today for her in 12 hours. The bench I made was a bit shorter than yours. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Great work! So far this is the best. I'm getting ready to have some build for my pergola and it's huge. The only different thing that I would do, is build them slanted at least one couch. I've been told that if I have the back and seat slanted it's lots more comfortable. We will see how it turns out. Thanks for your video.
I love how this turned out and that you modified the original plan. I don't see the plan in the description, though, or on their site, so maybe they don't have it anymore? I'll be now that you've done projects for years, you'd probably do more pocket-hole construction throughout. I think I would. With your great directions, I'm thinking of creating this for my deck! Thanks Megan from the past!
You did very well with your outdoor couch. Very similar to what I would like in the backyard - thank you for making it look easy.
You are so welcome!
Great tip on staining before assembly. Thanks.
Iv started this project today! It's almost finished just need to screw the back rest and stain it! Thank you! Ck from the uk!
Awesome!! I’m so glad to hear about it!
I’m doing this! This is just what I need. Wish me luck 🥴
Looks great! If I could offer one small suggestion to anyone who wants to build this though..use exterior wood glue (ie titebond III) and the exterior screws. The joints will never weaken.
Great tip!
@@MeganBell Hey sweetheart. Thanks for the awesome looking sofa. I tried to download your plans for the sofa, but their seems to be an issue with the link. Thanks in advance!!
This came out Amazing, the carpet and the colour stain the colour of cushions everything blended so well. 👌🏻
OMG!! I have been wanting to do this for so long !! A tree just fell on our lower deck and crushed the couch which I felt was always small. And I said to myself, I would love to have a couch that is the whole leanth of the deck . But to buy one like you said, would cost an arm and a leg. My wife is currently looking for a replacement to match the rest of the set. Way more than yours. The only problem is we have opposite taste in almost everything. Not sure how it lasted 20 years!!😂😂. Anyway, wish me luck!!!
Your directions are much better. Thanks!
This is a great build and your modifications from the Ryobi nation were great.
I just saw this video now but I'm glad I haven't purchased anything cause this is exactly what I've been looking for !!
Well done summer is ending here in Canada but my sunrom is open all year long! thank you for sharing
Love the additional length of this couch. Totally doing this! Thanks!
Really a simple and good sofa my lady,
Vikram thank you!
Thank-you so much because I needed to know how to modify the length for a longer outdoor sofa. Great video 👍👍
Love the contemporary rustic look exactly what I was looking for! You did a great job.
Looks Really good Megan Bell...! I am going to make one...! Thanks Al
OMG!!! That looks so good Megan!! I'd love a a love seat version for my back patio! I would get the fabric and sew all my own cushions though. But only because I'm on a sewing kick right now.
Pattymac Knits thank you patty! I wonder what you would use to fill the cushions if they’re for outdoor use? Is there a special foam?
One thing I can do is sew would love to learn lol.
This looks really good, just for next time using the pocket hole jig, always make your pocket holes on the face of the board into the end grain. Much stronger joint that way and much less chance of tear out. This is about a year old so you probably figured that out by now though. Very nice job!
Very nicely done. I've built many things with 2x4. Just a tip, use a counter sink with long drill bits on your cordless, to pre drill and set the screws, so much easier, doesn't wear out your cordless, also using quick set bits to change fast between screw tips and countersink. From experience, trying to drive a 2 1/4 screw into 2 2x4s is pretty tough.
Thank you. I’m going to make it. The patio furniture cost in the store is ridiculous!
Very nice. One tip- when making things with dimensional lumber I like to cut the radius off the edges with a table saw. (If you have access to one) this helps makes them look less like 2 x 4’s.
Thank you! I do and that’s a great tip!
Hi what did the whole thing cost to make
Beautiful and classy piece!!
Obrigada Megan.
Thank you for this video. I’m searching for furniture making videos that use regular power tools a home owner would likely have (as opposed to expensive professional tools).
This turned out great, I wish you would include your specific cuts in the description
Next time I will, thank you for the suggestion
Next time you use your Kreg Jig, you don’t need to have the board in its final place to drill the pocket hole. Also remove the jig to install the screw. For your first time it looks really good! I made a “U” shaped sectional using similar design. If I could post pics I would. Keep it up! 😁
Needs a high back. Out of all the outside furniture I have seen being built they always have the short backs to them. They never make them to where you can lean back up against it at least make it level with the top of the head and maybe no further. other than that what a great bill I love it.😀😀😀😀
Looks great! What support other than the screws into the arms does the seat have, if 3 people sit on it are they just held up be 4 screws?
Awesome! I'm gonna ask my husband to try and do this 😉
Turned out awesome!
Thank you!!
Looks great! Gotta love porch sittin
It’s going down, I’m trying it. Thanks for the video.
I am surely going to build this for my patio..
Love it! I’m going to use the same stain 😊
Lovely job explained very well
Thank you!
Really helpful that you mentioned the measures...
Aha This gives me a great idea. Thank you so very much. I love it. Just absolutely love it.
Came out fantastic.
I will be making this so easy thanks😄
Have fun!
What a great project! I know this would be a favorite spot on the patio. You are inspiring me!
majemeryn thank you so much! I love that I have inspired you! I highly recommend this project, I have used my balcony non stop since we built this. I’ve even taken a few naps!
I love it!!! Really looks like something I would love to try. Thanks
So glad! Please do!
Super duper! I can't wait to try this DIY project.
Very nice, I built this sofa but it came out at 27" deep. 24" plus the 2 lengths at 3".
I have to do this. Today is the day.. beautiful ❤️
OMG this is dope! I may try this and make 2. Will def save some major cash! Thx
The couch is awesome! I would love a lazy afternoon nap on that!
Deb Parks and I’ve already had a few!! Lol!
Thank you for the very informative details of this project. I am now inspired to go out and do the same.
I have seen the Anna white project as well, but love yours! Thank you for the tip on staining the wood first!
Sooo good! Love it! I want to make this! Inspired!
Please do!
Very nice work!
I Appreciate it!
I'm making one right now for my porch!!! I loved it ❤️ I wish I could send you a picture of my outcome OMG, I had to make this it's the perfect size.
I’m about to start on this project I got all the wood sitting on my garage. Wish me luck lol
Woo! Good luck Lin! We love ours.
How did it go?
Making this tomorrow! Love your video and easy to follow instructions!!! ❤️
Looks great. Perfect for the upcoming spring/summer in the Northeast. You might need a bigger coffee & end table with the couch though. I guess you’ll have to build matching coffee & end tables. Keep up the good work.
WOW and thank you!
Wow great job and it looks great too. !
Step 1: GET a set of sawhorses to put your boards on. Step 2: Build a chop saw table or go buy a B & D Workmate. Ha ha ha! I just can't bend down like you to work I guess. 😁😁😁 All joking aside, I really like it. Looks nice enough to use inside as well. Just thinking about your sanding. Personally, I think that I would have hit it sanding grits of 80 to 150 to 220. But again, that's just me. Really like the finish color. Ya done well!
Thank you! Definitely need some sawhorses! Among other things lol
@@MeganBell ha ha ha ha ha! Go get the screw-on kind that you slip 2 X 4s into. They're inexpensive (not cheap), collapsible, versatile, and will last you for decades. I'm using some of my dad's and they have to be at least 60 years old and they were used to build a 4-H Camp with! 😁😁😁
I can't wait to try! Thank you!
Gostei muito parabéns pela sua criatividade.
I've just made one of your sofas it came out great thank you
That’s awesome, Albert! Glad it worked out
Very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you!
We are currently working on this for our front porch! So excited. Excellent measurements and directions 👍
Did this and turned out great. The next day though I noticed it was squeaking a lot when sitting on it. Any tips on how I can fix that? Thanks
Removing some screws and gluing the joints before you screw it back together may solve that
Excelente video gracias... por favor sus
Medidas del sofa para realizar en casa ..
Que sigan los exitos
The dog really likes it. :)
Hi Bell! Well thought out. I like your idea.
Omg this is exactly what I wanted to do
Thanks a billion!!! 😊
So glad it’s helpful! 💛
Well I know what I'm doing this weekend 👍🏼👍🏼 love this
Incredible how cheap things used to be just 5 years ago! Those prices sounds almost unbelievable
We just made our from your video and we are so excited!!!
That is SO awesome! Enjoy 💛
Very nice!
I must do this! Thanks for the IKEA cushions too :)
Hi. So easy one. So nice . I appreciate 🙏
Thank you so much 😊
Oh wow thanks for sharing ❤ I’m going to try this
pretty good work / im looking for a way to implement this inside since i hate buying furniture ,
Wow this is awesome beautiful outside couch!
Thank you! We are still enjoying it!
Beautiful job!
ektorma thank you! ❤️
Have watched many videos this one is easier and looks simple.
Nice project.
That looks fantastic - good job. I can't belive how little you pay for your timber - wish it was like that in the UK.
Had no idea there was a difference from country to country but I suppose everything is priced differently!
Hi George I'm from the uk and iv done it.....order from fast builders the delivery is free on orders over £40 it cost me around £80 but I made another one at 6ft long I found there wood so much better quality than b&q and wicks!
I wish I could post a picture for you 🤷♀️
That's good to know, but who are fast builders? Just googled them and can't find a company selling wood.
That’s the downside of living on an island compared to a huge country with lots of forests!
I would be happy with this with no cushions. Well done.
Totally going to do this! Thanks for the inspiration
Loved this can not wait to make it
Nice job
Amazing project, already saved to try it someday
Lovely im going to make that
You need to make up a unique hashtag so when people make your designs we can all see them on IG or FB
I love that idea thank you for suggesting that! I’m on it
Thanks for your video will don regards from saudi Arabia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is such a great build!!! Thanks for sharing!
