I made a DIY outdoor lounge chair out of a 2x6 using just 3 basic power tools. This is a really fast and easy DIY furniture project. I used a western red cedar 2x6 because it holds up against elements but a cheaper softwood could be used it just wouldn’t last as long. A circular saw, drill, and orbital sander are the only essential power tools for this project but I used my Kreg 720 pocket hole jig so that I could hide the screws. I think. of this design as a modern take on a modern take on a Adirondack chair. I cut 2x6 boards to 36" for the seat, 30" for the back, and 18" for the legs before drawing a diagonal line 1.5" in to cut triangular pieces. I made this design up on the spot and these lengths can be adjusted 4-10" in either direction. I stained the cedar with CABOT Solid Color Acrylic Stain and Sealer in Pewter Gray and used a Purdy roller and brush to apply it.
