Dimensioned drawings for this DIY Outdoor sofa made out of tropical hardwood decking are here: http://www.homemade-modern.com/ep124-diy-outdoor-sofa/
I considered using Ipe deck boards to build this sofa but ended up picking Cumaru boards instead since I liked the color better and they were cheaper. if you want to see more project plans for DIY outdoor furniture like sofas and couches let me know in the comment section.
I used a cordless circular saw, jigsaw, orbital sander, and drill from:

Excelente projeto, muito obrigado.
Abraços
Very nice! probably one of the best sofa designs. The simplicity and versatility. Absolutely perfect
Amei ❤
Awesome
jesse always looks so relaxed when she sits on one of the chairs or sofas 😀 great couch, i love the simplicity
No head rest?
Nice design. Not sure about the choice of a Tropical Hardwood for timber though. And if your encouraging people to recreate your design, don’t you have a responsibility to ensure that your at least trying to source from a sustainable source?
Cumala for those that are interested is also known as Brazilian Teak, (although it bears no relation to ‘normal’ Teak), and is named after an idigenous tribe. Over logging in Indonesian teak forests means that teak wood is now extremely scarce and also expensive..
Cumala is not listed as endangered …yet.
another amazing easy build 🙂
WHY IS YOUTUBE AUTOMATICALLY LOWERING THE VOLUME UNTIL IT MUTES ON EVERY VIDEO I WATCH !!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE!!
Last website update was in early January, when can we expect an article with the demension drawings? Description also doesn’t link back to website.
did anyone notice mike from modern builds helping? check his channel he is good
Lindo!
Vou fazer
Great job 😉
Instead of Jungle wood why not Elm?
Odd… Garapa’s the term we use here in Brazil refering to suggar cane’s juice
Looks really bad
Just added this to my build list for this spring! Great design and use of materials (as usual).
Modern builds and cameo spotted lol Man I really like the way that came out
I’ve never heard of that wood before. It has a really great look to it. Nice job, Ben!
Brilliant
good great like it
Que hermoso
That’s either a new bottle of whiskey or you guys have switched to beer while on the maker ranch. I love that it was in this video and the scaffolding bed video. Also, you got me seriously wanting to make this for our deck at home, i went to the advantage lumber site and really like the look of tiger wood.
Hii great channel ☺ Keep it up!
Awesome! Has a very tranquil feel to it. Like it should be near a fountain
The wood fits together so nice that it reminds me of Lego.
Just saw your Moen ad in front of this video. That’s some next level YouTube-ing right there.
That looks so nice. Love that it comes apart.
This is an amazing project and I like how you take notice of everything that could improve quality of it, one thing that I thought about the seat was that the middle part seemed too flexible when you sat on it, if anything I would add another small leg in the middle for better support but I don’t know how it really feels when you sit on it so I can’t really prove my point but anyways, it’s an awesome project without a doubt.
I like the build-up construction of the legs. Very accessible to many.
Would you post a link to those saw horses?
Anyone else think he’ll get a MacArthur fellowship? What ben is doing is truely amazing with quality furniture made out of nice materials but not too expensive so he can compete with a place like Ikea but has the quality and flexibility of custom handcrafted furniture

Bulleit. Nice. They a lowkey sponsor?
Aww… I thought you were gonna make the cushions too… Wanna build my own couch someday with a bunch of compartments and stuff in it, so I’ll probably have to make my own cushions for it as well and have no idea how to.
Please tell Jess that grey and black are entirely too close and at first glance they appear to be the same color. She’s got a reputation to uphold.
