Step 1. Commence cutting the frame pieces the cut pieces for the garden throne

Commence cutting the frame pieces to the lengths given below. Note that the back legs [a] and the side seat rails [d] have one end cut 3° off square. Refer to the cutting list and plans where necessary.

First cut the two back legs [a] at 51 1/2" long overall, with one end (the bottom) of each leg 3° off square. Then cut the two front legs [b] at 29" long.
Next, cut the front and back seat rails [c] both 22" long.

Cut the two side seat rails [d] 17" long overall, with one end cut 3° off square.

Step 2. Cut and make the back top the throne back pieces

Cut the two angled back pieces [e] to the length and angles as shown below.

Next cut the two horizontal back pieces [f] 7" long, with one end cut 30° off square. Refer to the plan.
The two horizontal back pieces [f] are over length. They can be cut to the exact length later.

Glue and screw all the top back pieces together and leave to set.

Step 3. Make the sides make up the side frames of the garden throne

Lay the front legs [a], back legs [b] and the side seat rails [d ]loosely in place on a flat surface. Refer to the plan for positioning.

Mark the screw holes in the front legs [a] and the back legs [b].

Take the front legs [a] and the back legs [b] and drill the screw holes.
Refer to the fixing method diagram for drilling and screwing detail.

Once the screw holes are pre-drilled, lay the front legs [a], back legs [b] and the side seat rails [d] in place again on a flat surface.

Cut a spacer block an inch shorter than the side seat rail [d] and place it between the bottom of the legs.

Why an inch shorter?

Because the front and back legs are not parallel. The back leg is tilted 3°.

Glue and clamp the legs to the side seat rails and then add the screws.

Step 4. Shape and fit the arms

Shape and cut the arms according to the plan.
There are two options given in the arm detail plan.

Once shaped and cut, fix the arms [g] to the front legs [a] and back legs [b] with glue and screws.
