Building a wooden sun lounger

Steps 5 to 7: The main frame & front slats

Step 5: Unclamping and sanding the wheels

Once the glue has dried, unclamp the wheels and sand them smooth.

Step 6: Assembling the side rails and end rails

Lay the two side rails on a couple of saw horses, and glue and screw the two end rails to them, one at each end.

Pre-drill the screw holes in the end rails prior to fixing.

Step 7: Fixing the front slats

Pre-drill all the screw holes in the front slats, two holes at each end of each slat. Make the holes 1/2″ (12mm) in from the sides and 3/8″ (9mm) in from the ends.

FixTo secure with nails or screws. (glue and screw) the two end slats first (see drawing below), and then add the intermediate slats, making sure they are evenly spaced.
