To build the perfect rustic wood chair with a slatted frame, start by cutting two pieces of lumber to your desired dimensions.

Aluminum Lawn Chair Makeover
Do you own two aluminum lawn chairs that look a little worn out and ready for sale at yard sales? Give them new life with a quick makeover using macrame cord to revive their appeal and restore them!
Start by giving the chair frame a thorough cleaning to remove any caked on dirt, dust or rust. Once they are completely dry, sand the frames to smooth them out before spray painting them a different color if you choose to do that. Mask or cover up armrests as necessary if that is what your plan is!
Once you’re ready to weave, begin the first pass of horizontal macrame by wrapping your cord under the center bar and up over the top edge of the chair seat frame – leaving approximately 6-8″ slack – then tie a double square knot around both the frame and other cords; push your crochet hook through this loop so it rests against its fat part for easy retrieval later.
Repeat this process on the other side of the chair; each time you weave, your final row should end in a square knot to secure it.

Functionality is also of great significance; therefore it is necessary that a wooden outdoor sun lounger complement the style of its surroundings. Some stackable products make for easy storage when not in use while models with wheels make movement much simpler.

For optimal results, select pallet wood that has been heat-treated without harmful chemicals and marked as such by an International Plant Protection Convention stamp such as “HT”, which stands for heat treatment using steam or dry kiln heat, or “DH”, dielectric heating. Pallets bearing stamps such as “MB”, which stand for Methyl Bromide or “SF”, as they could contain mold or bacteria as well as unwanted contaminants that should not be present; additionally make sure your pallet has been treated to protect it against bugs and rot prior to using it as furniture!
