One of the most common questions we’ve gotten since we teamed up with Lauren and Brett for these fire pit pergola plans is — but do you have plans for the chairs and the swings? 

The answer is finally YES! (and swings are coming very soon!)

This DIY Adirondack chair features a tall comfortable back and a nice wide comfortable seat for lounging around a fire in the backyard or on the front porch.

Not only did we put together printable plans to build an easy Adirondack chair…

…but we also have a matching double chair Adirondack bench plan, too!

And wait, there’s more… CUPHOLDERS! 

Both the Adirondack chair and the Adirondack bench feature 2 wide arm rests with easy DIY cupholders in each arm support so you can keep your favorite cold beverage close.

(Or, use it as a holder for your phone. We know how it goes.)

You can also build a patio table with drink coolers and an outdoor coffee table with drink trough.

Materials and Tools

This easy beginner woodworking project uses just cedar 2×4, 1×6, and 1×4 lumber (full materials list included in the plans).

We recommend cedar or redwood boards for outdoor furniture due to their natural weather resistant properties. You can use less expensive pine or what’s commonly called “whitewood” – it just won’t last as long and has to be painted or treated with an outdoor finish.

Note that cedar lumber can vary in thickness, but the variation won’t impact the dimensions as you build your Adirondack chair.

When choosing your lumber, watch for boards with knots or other imperfections that might not look as good or be as easy to sand smooth.

This classic Adirondack chair is held together using wood glue and exterior wood screws (or deck screws) — easy to build with materials you can purchase at any lumber yard or hardware store.  No need for lag bolts or washers or anything more complicated than glue and screws here.

You’ll need just a few common tools to build your own Adirondack chair:
