Wood: Pallet lounge set

Ramon made a pallet lounge set!

We decided we want a lounge set for the back deck. We already have a bench in the front of the house made from pallets and we’re really enjoy sitting on that. So I (Ramon) went outside and got some measurements and came up with this mock up.

There are some things I would want to change from the mock up but it gave me a good idea of the space.

So on June 19th 2020 the pallets came in.

A day later the pillows came in.

Actually building it

The same day I prepared the backrests and used the access blocks to raise the seat a little bit but not as much as a whole nother layer.

While I was at it I decided to lay out the rest of the pallets as well to get a feel for the size and trying to find an good solution for attaching the blocks together.

Pretty happy with how it’s coming along. I did already see some altercations I want to make to the initial design but I will figure those out as I go.

A day later I found some time to work on the project and decided to trim down some planks to close the tabletop.

The problem solving

I had a slight problem with accessing my outside water tap as you can see here.

Since I don’t want to move it I decided to make a little door in the back rest. So I got myself a hinge and added some crap from a previous build for blocking on the back. When there is a pillow against it you don’t even notice.
