Veranda Chair

Make a stylish and comfortable outdoor chair with our step-by-step woodworking plan, using weather-resistant hardwoods. Ideal for relaxing in the sun.

Create your own relaxing outdoor retreat with this step-by-step plan for building a beautiful and durable veranda chair. Designed for comfort and simplicity, this outdoor lounge chair features wide, curved slats and a gently reclined shape—perfect for enjoying a book, soaking in the sun, or simply unwinding in the fresh air.

The design balances elegance and durability, with carefully chosen materials ideal for outdoor use. The frame is built from sturdy Baltic birch plywood, sealed with epoxy and painted for weather resistance. The hardwood slats and stretchers, shown here in ipe, are finished with exterior-grade tung oil for a natural, weatherproof finish. Don’t have ipe? No problem—white oak or red cedar are great alternatives for long-lasting performance and classic outdoor style.

Whether you're looking to add a stylish chair to your front porch, backyard, or veranda, this woodworking plan walks you through every step. It’s a rewarding weekend project that combines comfort, functionality, and timeless design—perfect for beginners and experienced woodworkers alike.
