I know this chair has been a long time coming . . . it's also been a long
time in the making. When you first started requesting a sling chair (also
known as wood beach chairs or folding deck chairs) I knew it was
definitely a project I wanted to tackle. I just didn't know it would take
me four prototypes to finally be able to put this seal on it . . .

And believe it or not . . . it's still not done. The stain is still a little tacky
- thus the slings are pulled tight, and I couldn't find a single volunteer to
test it out in a photo.

But I promise, this one is super comfy. If you've ever sat in a sling
chair, all you have to do is close your eyes and you are at the beach.
The way the sling works, you almost feel weightless.
This chair costs and estimated $25 to build. The best deal I've found on
outdoor canvas fabric, 54" wide is $8.98 per yard, for designer brands
from Fabric.com...and they have Free Return Shipping too! [3]
Slings are reversible. For light colored fabrics with high contrast prints,
you may consider lining the slings with canvas duck fabric.
I used Minwax Gel Stain for this chair frame for a rich even stain. The
strength and durability of this chair is highly Dependant on what type of
materials you use and how you build your chair. As shown and built by
me, the Ram (200LBS + and six feet tall) approved of the design and
the size. Your chair could differ depending on the types of materials
you use and the building techniques you use.
Summary:
Folding adult sized wood sling chair, also known as wood beach chairs
or deck chairs. Folds flat for storage, opens up for easy relaxation!

General Instructions:
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning
this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section.
Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a
clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight
boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before
attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold.
Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will
not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good
luck!
Step 1
[17]
Page 7 of 15
Build the back frame very carefully as shown above. The main weight
bearing joints are going to be where the fabric slings pull on the
headers - so take great care to use glue, carefully predrill holes, avoid
splitting your wood, and attach in place. There is a 3/8" gap between
the header boards. Drill the holes as shown above for the bolts.
Step 2
[18]
Build the smaller sling as shown above, taking great care again to
create strong joints for the headers.
Step 3

[19]
Once both frames are complete, line the frames up as shown above,
and insert bolts, with washers on both sides of bolt, and one washer
between the two wood frames to protect the finish on your wood
frames. The chair should now swing open, but there will be nothing to
keep the chair from staying open. See next step . . .

Step 4
[20]
Build the propup support as shown above. Attach with bolts and
washers to the backrest frame, in the remaining predrilled bolt hole.
Rest between seatframe slats. You will be able to move the prop up to
adjust the angle of the chair.
Time to make that sling.
Step 5

[21]
Special thanks to Grace's Grandma for sewing these slings :)
Cut fabric into two squares as directed in cut list.
With right sides together, and using a 1/4” seam, stitch around entire
rectangle, leaving a 5” opening on one long side.
Clip corners and turn project inside out.
Slip stitch opening closed.
Finger press or iron project so edges are fully expanded and no edges
are tucked inside.
Step 6
Page 11 of 15
[22]
Using a larger stitch length, topstitch edges along both (long) sides
only. A decorative stitch is optional. Finish edges by tucking thread into
project.
Step 7
Page 12 of 15
[23]
Fold bottom and top over 1 1/2” to create “sleeves.”
Topstitch using same seam allowance as on the sides.
Finish edges by tucking thread into project.
Step 8
Page 13 of 15
[24]
By threading the slings through the chair headers, then threading the
dowels in the "sleeves" you create a sling that is held in place sturdily,
but is easy to remove to wash or change the look up.
Finishing InstructionsPreparation Instructions: Fill all holes with
wood filler and let dry. Apply additional coats of wood filler as needed.
When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of
the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to
remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces
as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth. It is always recommended
to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color
evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
