As I did too.
These things go for about $150 in stores.... I cost me less than half!
Me and a buddy are talking about making a few chairs, tables, and such and going to a local flea market to see if we can turn a little extra money.

I am going to paint them with a good exterior paint. A stain would work, but there are two or three different types of wood in them, and the stain wouldn't be uniform throughout it.

For another idea, consider Teak, Western Redwood Cedar or even Cyprus for an alternative that you don't have to paint. All are pretty weather resistant and will bring that chair to the next level. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of building some in cedar, once I get the bugs worked out of the plans.
