Constructive features
In its constructive features, garden chairs are divided into two main types. In the first - the back leg of the seat and the back is a single element, the second is the rear legs and the vertical bars of the backs consist of different parts. Seats make solid panels or frameworks. A frame is inserted between the legs of the chair, called the progress. Such a solution allows you to double the strength of the structure and the life of its operation compared to the same product, but without a pride.
Another way to increase the strength of a wooden product, which is subjected to constant loads is a spike connection. The greater the cross section of the details, the length and width of the spikes, the stronger will be the product. For a product-support made of solid hardwood wood, the size of the square legs in the section must be carried out at least 28x28 mm, for rectangular legs, this indicator should be at least 22x40 mm. If we are talking about wood of coniferous trees, these values \u200b\u200bautomatically increase one and a half times.
What is needed for the manufacture of garden chairs
In all the varieties provided on the Internet of the drawings of the garden chairs, it is worth choosing the one that will be able to make, and besides will have an attractive appearance. So, to make a garden chair, you need to think about how you would like to see it, and if possible, make a drawing, and then make composite parts of the future product.
For durable fastening of elements of the garden chair, glue, bolts and screws are suitable. But to perform the task you need, you will need standard carpentry devices:
- electric saw;
- plane;
- hacksaw;
- screwdriver;
- drill;
- schlifmashinka;
- clamps;
- roulette;
- ruler;
- pencil.
To make an armchair for cottages will not need excessive effort. Details for it are the same type, and, it means simple in the manufacture and interchangeable. First of all, we need to decide what size the chair we need, because such a model will look good not only as a garden chair for adults, but it can also be made of a reduced copy for junior family members. But before starting to make it necessary to prepare a drawing of a garden chair.
For this garden chair, we will need boards with a thickness of 50 mm and 25 mm. The chair consists of four legs, two supports for the back, two supports for seating, two supports for the armrest 7 slats for the backrest and seats and two armrests. For mounting, 10 bolts are 10x100 mm with nuts and washers, as well as 40 screws of 50 mm.
Flame on the board future details on the sizes presented in the drawing of the garden and drink them. Each product needs to be treated with a planer, and then cleaned with a grinding machine. Special attention should be paid to the ends of the product elements to protect them from moisture. To do this, all external surfaces are impregnate with hot olifa, it is advisable to spend such treatment twice.
The next step is the markup and drilling of the bolts. To do this, you will need a 10 mm drill.
To assemble side frames, put them on a raised surface so that the rear legs subsequently do not interfere with further manipulations. While parts of the product according to the drawing. The main condition for the correct assembly is that the parts will be a mirror reflection of each other. Put both parts at a distance of 640 mm between them. Details for the backrest of the chair must be attached to the screws in parallel to each other, you can make small distances between the plars, and you can attach close to your discretion.
Please note that experienced masters use an important technological method in the manufacture of garden chairs: the seat must have a slope relative to the back, only in this case the use of the chair will be most convenient. It is very important that the fastening elements do not cling to clothing and the cause of injuries, so they should be "sap" in the tree. For this, special chamfer is made, which are formed by using the drill a slightly larger diameter than the holes for the screws themselves.
Like the elements of the back attach and the details of the seating, while the shortened bar must be between the front supports of our chair. Now it remains for small - to scream armrests.
Another important manipulation will be the alignment of the legs with a rounding or stripping of the ends, the chair is properly performed if it relies onto the plane by all legs.
The garden chair in its destination is obliged to be wear-resistant, so the sun and moisture do not cause substantial harm, it is necessary to protect the tree. For these purposes, lacquer or paint will fit. It is advisable to apply several layers, each of which should dry at least 24 hours.
A natural desire will improve its product - add a soft base for a seat or cover it with a fabor with a foam rubber.
How to make a rocking chair yourself
Probably there is not a single person who at least once would not dream slowly and rhythmically to squeeze in a rocking chair and allow her body to relax and enjoy comfort. And such a luxury item would be a gardened rocking chair, and besides, made by his own hands.
For the manufacture of rocking chair gardening, the best use natural materials. It looks amazingly on the background of a green lawn chair from a junk vine or rattan. However, such products cannot be called durable, and even for performing such a work, special skills are needed.
If the main requirements for the chair-rocking chair are strength and wear resistance, the most appropriate material will be forged metal for it, but it is a little skill.
Despite the above, to make a garden chair-rocking chair with their own hands, constructively, hardly more difficult than the usual chair. After all, the only distinctive feature between them will have the presence of a product of a force (or skis). They can be completely different in length, important in this case will be stability, because the main difference between the long and short rods is the amplitude of the chairs swing. It is also necessary to take into account the important fact that longer walks will be the least durable.
For the manufacture of the simplest rocking chair, do not even need a drawing. And for this can quite fit the old armchair or chair with wooden legs. Picture on paper a wide element with a concave base, and then cut two such poloz from the tree bars. On these items, from the inside, you will need to cut out the notches so that the legs of the wooden chair tightly stood on them. Around each leg must be selected by one restrictive bar on each side, just eight. Since we will have a homemade chair, without any preliminary calculations, then for a safe and sustainable swing, you should screw in three large bolts into each support. We insert the legs of the chair between the bars featured to the support and close this design plate from plywood or thin board. From the front, between the polls, you can add a laying stand in the form of a plank. And in order for our chair to not swinging too much, in the back of the clauses make a small recess, which will extinguish the swing speed and, therefore, will prevent overturning.
If you do not have a large size of the dimensions and the weight of the finished product, you can make a double chair chair from scratch. The drawing of the side parts of such a design can be easily found in the outdoor access and copy to the paper to transfer the outline to the material used without serious errors. It is very important to do everything right at the very beginning, so that both sidewalls were identical, and the lower part of them was perfectly rounded. The appropriate material for our product will be an Eurofer with a thickness of 30 mm. From it, they drink the framework connecting both sidewalls. The length of the framework will depend on the desired width of your product, but about the strength you take care of the correctly selected thickness of the connecting sidewall element. The surface of the seating and the back will consist of long and thin bars, fitted with each other or close, or at a short distance, at your discretion. There is no special standard for assembling such a product, so each wizard can work out its own algorithm. The framework between the sidewalls will be located in the headboard, in the middle and in the legs, and to connect them best with the help of long conformats. It should be noted that this is exactly the case when it is better to measure several times, and then only drill the desired holes.
Since the product consists of a large number of long and thin frames, then with their mounting to the base, you can apply a small trick, a substantially simplifying task. We are talking about the "conductor". Such a device will help without much trouble to accurately drove the bars at the desired distance. You can make it immediately on the spot from the remaining materials. We attach from the end and with the side of a small bar of pieces of plywood, serving the limiter, and drill the "conductor" in the place we need. Now, through the resulting holes, we plan blanks. Marking will be perfectly smooth and symmetrical. Further is the case of technology and your hardworking, you need to drill holes in the planned bars and connect them with the base of the screws. For beauty and completeness, the product of the holes from the screws is required to sharpen. The final stage of the work will be the coating of your product with varnish or paint. Only in this case, the garden chair will last for a long time and will not only be a reminder of your skill, but will certainly become the object of pride for the perfect work done.
