What is needed for this?
In order to make comfortable furniture for the yard, summer cottage or garden, we need the main attribute - an old wooden box. If one is not available, you can use a hacksaw, a screwdriver and old boards to put together the same one. Absolutely precise geometry is not needed, the main thing is that the structure is not stable and can withstand the weight of two adults. It will be furniture in a real loft style!
And also come in handy: paint; brush; stapler; staples; a piece of foam rubber; a piece of furniture fabric (any other is possible, as long as it is strong) and a couple of hours of free time and a little imagination. Well, if you prefer not to carry furniture, but to roll along the path, then there are also four stronger wheels. Skillful hands and super skills are not needed - we will learn everything in the process.
How to make a sofa for a summer residence with your own hands
We take our old wooden box, paint it on all sides (I painted with the remains of paint, which was in the garage), wait for the paint to dry completely. Next, using a stapler, we fix the foam rubber. We fasten the foam rubber with nails with wide heads, such that they go to the door trim. If there are none, make hats for ordinary nails made of thick cardboard.
After that, we cover the sofa with a cloth. The key word is tight. The fabric should firmly press the foam rubber. We do not regret the staples, I took 20 staples for 10 centimeters. When the fabric is stretched, the sofa is ready! It can also be used as a drawer, but it is already a complete garden sofa in a trendy loft style!
