how i built the pallet wood sofa

welcome to part - how i built the pallet wood sofa

part the pallet sofa reveal is here

" deep

tip: make sure it's a deep sit. the mattress should touch your inner knee. mid thigh won't cut it

i decided on a double pillow system because it was more comfortable than single. this told me i needed to be a little unorthodox

the two legs were used as a measuring guide ) frame. the legs will sit on the outside of that frame

the thickness of the mattress indicated i needed a low sitting frame since i wanted my feet to hit the floor when i sat

planks were cut and set into place allowing

the frame didn't budge! heavy duty materials and lo of screws did their job

the back rest

i noted the height of the pillows and the window in behind to determine how high i wanted the back rest to sit. the horizontal brace is held

see how the back height just misses the window view? this is the beauty of a custom build on site

i didn't mount the back onto anything because i wanted it positionable depending on what pillows i had going on. unorthodox at it's best

but i did think how to mount it on permanently. i'd move the side arm supports way back and run a board across the two in behind so the thing had something to on and attach to somehow

sheesh… i just revealed a revamp of my patio. so what's up

blame it on the mattress. 🙂

i found it at a thrift

so

my ments are offered up only as a comparison guide. ultimately

the design

find the mattress of your dreams

this guy was a whoppin' $ i was told it came off of a portable futon type sofa. all i know is it's got layers upon layers of stuff i couldn't possibly make myself

play

i propped and sat and just played around until i figured out what i desired

ultimately you should be able to sit on the finished piece

measure

building the frame

arm height was also indicated by the thickness of the mattress

i created center supports as well. i looked at how other benches were made and it didn't seem right to put all the stress on side joints. this may not be necessary but i did it anyway

screwed in. no nails in sight

the arms look abit bare here and could use more detail

the boards were placed

using the deck floor seam as a ment reference

see? nice and clean
