Prepare the frames for seat and tabletop
Step 7. Fold the side frames over to seat position.
Fold the side frames over until the tops of the horizontalParallel to the horizon, flat, level. seat members [d], [g], and [j] are flushBeing even with. (even), and then apply a clamp to each side frame to hold it in that position.
Then place the side frames apart and parallelBeing of equal distance from each other at all points. in readiness for the seats and tabletop.

For the frame I used 5/4 x 6 pressure treated wood (actual 1.25 x 5.5). I don’t have a power miter saw so I cut each length with a circular saw then ripped into two identical pieces with a table saw. Cut the angles for each piece with a table saw. The top and seats are T&G pine. This may not hold up outside so I didn’t glue them. I can always replace them with the same pressure treated wood. If I do this I will edge dowel them together rather than use a rod or a batten as shown in the plans.
Thanks for the plans.
