The cutting list
Out of 32 mmAbbreviation for millimeter which is a metric unit of length equal to one thousandth of a meter. 25.4 mm equals one inch. x 64 mm (1 1/4″ x 2 1/2″) stock, cut the following lengths:
[a] 2 @ 568 mm (22 3/4″)
[b] 2 @ 513 mm (20 1/2″)
[c] 2 @ 535 mm (21 3/8″)
[d] 2 @ 319 mm (12 3/4″)
[e] 2 @ 100 mm (4″)
[f] 2 @ 890 mm (35 5/8″)
[g] 2 @ 330 mm (13 3/16″)
[h] 2 @ 247 mm (9 7/8″)
[i] 2 @ 467 mm (18 11/16″)
[j] 2 @ 335 mm (13 3/8″)
[k] 2 @ 243 mm (9 3/4″)
[l] 2 @ 430 mm (17 3/16″)
[m] 2 @ 422 mm (16 7/8″)
Out of 32 mm x 32 mm (1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″) stock, cut the following lengths:
[n] 2 @ 530 mm (21 3/16″)
Note: The above stock size for pieces [n] can be ripped (cut lengthwise) out of 64 mm (2 1/2″) wide stock.
Out of 140 mm x 19 mm (5 1/2″ x 3/4″) stock , cut the following lengths:
[o] 4 @ 325 mm (13″)
Out of 140 mm x 19 mm (5 1/2″ x 3/4″) tongue and grooveA joint in which a protrusion (tongue) that runs along the edge of a board fits into a matching groove that runs along the edge of another board. Boards shaped with a tongue on one edge and a groove on the other so that they can be fitted together without gaps. stock , cut the following lengths:
[p] 2 @ 1010 (40 3/8″)
[q] 2 @ 880 (35 3/8″)
[r] 4 @ 1090 (43 5/8″)
Note: Some of the above tongue and groove boards (the pieces each side) will need to be ripped (cut lengthwise) to achieve the required widths.
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.

Beware – the cut list is converted to English units by dividing by 25, resulting in rounding errors. More accurate English units can be obtained by dividing by 25.4.
