I think i need multiple per chair. Possibly one that holds margarita glasses? I enjoy reading through a post that can make people think. Also, many thanks for allowing me to comment! Is it just me or did you leave out a few of the seat pieces from your material cut list. Under materials, you say the following: Where do you propose the other 2 seat pieces come from? Your help is much appreciated. Just wanted to let you know that I just completed 6 of these for sitting around my firepit. Great plan and the templates worked great!
The only difficulty I had that I never found in the plan is where to place the front of the arm over the front leg. I suspect I pulled it too far forward because my 30 degree cut was off on the back. Regardless, the chairs are outstanding and they are bringing rave reviews! Can you provide me with dimensions for a child-size chair Perhaps it is just a percentage of the adult dimensions Thanks for any advice.
Hi David, My husband said he did it with jig saw. He adjusted it to 30 degrees and followed the line. I hope this helps. Let us know if you have more questions. You will have to assemble and tape all the pages 24 but this should work for most. Hi Chris, if you email the file to a local copy center like Office Max or Kinkos they will print it out on 24" x 36" paper. All the pieces will be just the right size to trace around and cut out. Hi there, after reading this remarkable paragraph i am too happy to share my experience here with friends. I do believe all the ideas you've offered for your post.
They're really convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for starters. May you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post. The orientation on these plans do not allow you to print in actual size. I had these printed on 24 x 36 and they are far too small.
There is no way you can make this fit on 2 pages. The PDF needs to be turned into 4 pages and rotated to landscape and printed 48" wide x 24" tall or all the templates are miniature. How in the world are people getting their templates correct? I liked the plans so I decided to make a few for my grandkids between ages 2 and 5. I had the file reduced to That doesn't seem like a big change but trust me, it is a lot when you think 3 dimensionally. I then had the plans mounted to poster-board because it makes it easier to cut out and transfer the outline than using a flimsy piece of paper.
Reducing the template does not account for the fact the wood still has the same thickness as the full size chair. These were all easy changes. I also increased the height of the back pieces by 2" each just because I wanted to have a taller back. If you have a router table, round over all the edges. All pieces can be cut easily from a single 1x10x Can you please provide me with the dimensions of the chairs.
I just built two of these. Thanks to the author for providing the plans. After having built 2, I think I can answer a few of the questions as I ran into those same problems. I put my leg intersections about Also, I overhung the chair arms about 2 inches over the legs. This worked well with both my chairs. Another thing to watch for, the initial 3 bolts you put in to hold the legs together, make sure you don't put the bolts too far toward the front, as this will dictate where your arm supports have to be placed ie, if you put bolts too near the front, your supports will be WAY out and might look a little goofy.
Otherwise, this project was really easy. Thanks again for posting it guys. Thanks for the plans, it came out a beatifull chair. Anyway, once I start assembling the chair I notice that there are some small differences between the the project and the photos, nothing to be worried, but there are. Something else, I felt the the back of the chair to inclinated, i uprise it a bit and it come much more confortable, principally to the neck. Anyway that was the best project I found in internet and it will be in garden on my holiday house in bahia state, brazil.
Treated lumber is a good low cost material but because of the chemicals sanding is not recommended. Instead stick to the more expensive cedar or red wood. Or you could by untreated lumber with the option to stain, paint, and seal. Thank you so much for these plans. We do have one question. How many inches is the set back of the front leg from the front of the arm? How do you make the curved cut for the back support with a 30 degree angle. Do some jig saws allow for angled cuts or are there other methods. And thanks for the great instructions. How do I know where on the front leg to screw on the arm?
I have been trying to download the full size print, but have not been able to since it asks to download the "DocToPdf" software. Is there any other way to download the print without downloading any software? Can the full size pattern be purchased from you directly, did you know it's for sale on ebay? Armando, it is already a PDF and shouldn't need any software.
At the bottom of the post I have a download for the actual dimensions if you need them. Would you have instructions for a footstool to match? Will somebody please tell me the dimensions for the chair? I keep checking back every few day's looking for them. It's been three weeks and I still don't see them. I might just be confused about where to look. You can see the dimensions by clicking on the words that say "Adirondack Chair Dimensions" right above the lowes picture.

Like "I'd hate to rush you but I am running out of time What a moronic thing to write.
People, be grateful you're getting something for free. Or maybe stop being such cheapskates and actually pay for plans if you're that desperate or in a hurry. I'd hate to rush you but I am running out of time to make these chairs! Please figure out the dimensions I would really appreciate it. My husband just completed his first one of many, I hope! Thanks for posting this easy template and instructions. Cindy - Thanks a great deal for these plans. I am looking forward to getting started! The dimensions have now been added to the post! Thanks so much for reading Skip to my Lou!
Looks like you are a wanted woman Any Luck on getting the dimensions on this please Sorry for the delay, but the dimensions have been added to the post.

Thanks everyone for reading my blog! Have you had any luck with the dimensions yet? I'd love to work on this tomorrow. Hi I will try to make a pair of these, and are therefore, as well as others, waiting for the dimensions.
I live in Denmark so metric dimensions would be perfect if possible. I am also getting ready to make these chairs and would greatly appreciate the dimensions as well I would just like to make sure the pieces I've cut for the template are the correct size I will wait patiently for Saturday: I decided i am going to make an Adirondack chair and after a bit of research,I found your blog. That is the nicest I have seen so far.
I especially like the back rest because it does not look as if its a circular shape cut out as an afterthought. I have downloaded your template and will attempt this without sizes,Am I being foolish? Should I wait for the new improved version? I don't understand last post. I plan on building the chair, but why do I need dimensions if I have templates to print off and follow?
Definitely agree that we need dimensions to make the templates to cut these pieces. Love the chairs but without specific dimensions the plans are useless. Please email us when you post them. I am building these chairs in my basement work shop. I was wondering what the overall size is of the chairs? I don't want to get it made and not be able to get it out of the door. What is the total width? Deron if you can give us to Saturday. We will get the dimensions up.
I thought it was easiest to just print a template I was wrong and will update the post with exact measurements. I really like the plans, but need a way to transfer dimensions from an 8. Do you have a set of plans with dimensions on it? Daniel, we are working on this. I thought it would be easier if everyone could print the pieces out to scale Hang tight we will try to get this done as quickly as possible!
For anyone who has built these chairs: Dimensions of the center back slat?

Hi C, we are working on plans with dimensions. So sorry everyone for the confusion! Tell them to go to the search box and type in Adirondack chairs. Download the plans and copy them to 24x36 paper so they are actual size. Tom i n Florida. Thank you so much for this great posting! I've been searching online for just this kind of template. I moved to mexico two years ago, and my adirondack chairs were left actually back in the adirondacks in storage, and I've missed having them. So now I can make my own here!! Debi, I used 1x4's and 1x6's pressure treated lumber from lowes as the lenght sizes from material list above.
Depends on your location--I have found that Lowes charges different prices from different locations. Im on GA and AL line and between the two states there was about a five to ten dollars difference. It also depends on the type wood you use, If you plan on painting or staining the wood the pine wood untreated should be cheaper than treated wood. Interesting that the people who actually built the chair and supplied the photos and the plans never respond to questions about the project.
Not sure why Staples couldn't print the file for you. That's where I had it done. Got 2 pages printed out on their wide format printer. I had the graphic mounted and laminated on foam core board and used a razor knife to cut the templates, which I transferred to the wood. I would assume all Staples copy and print centers have the same equipment.
Just left Staples and they could not print the plans to "full size" on 24 x36 " paper. It looks more like a child size chair.

Does anyone have the actual dimensions of each piece. FYI to the inquiries of printing out the templates to the actual sizing of the boards I ran into this issue to of not having a printing store local to print this out for me. Hope this will help some or all. Click the link and it opens a pdf file with the drawings. Save the file to a flash drive, take it to Staples copy and print center and tell them to print it full size. You'll get 2 pages of plans you can cut out, lay on the wood and trace.
You can feel free to call me on my cell for this It should have been addressed by now but it wasn't. I didn't run into that issue until I started building, and then realized there were no bolt hole markers on the back piece and no dimension give for the overhang of the arms. I went with 2" over hang measured from the front of the vertical front leg. Keep in mind more or less overhang ultimately determines the comfort of the chair back. Too much overhang and you're sitting up straight.
Too little and you're lounging. Guys, if you download the plans as the pdf file, then copy the file to a flash drive or email it directly to your nearest Staples copy and print center, they will print the plans full scale. I had them print, laminate and mount them to foam core so I could cut out each piece and save the template for future chair projects. They print full size, so you just trace and cut the material. There are several choices of wood for the project, Redwood and Teak are both good for their ability to withstand the outdoors and won't rot or get attacked by termites.
Pressure treated lumber is fine cheaper but usually requires some re-staining or re-treating every couple years. It splits in dry weather and turns black in the sun if left untreated. You can't leave it untreated because it does not respond well to weather. I used Cyprus which has great workability with saw, sander and router, if extremely outdoor friendly and requires almost no upkeep. A light coat of food-safe oil is all that's needed to keep it great looking for years. Tools required are minimal, although they should be capable of doing the job.
Table saw, power miter, band saw, spindle sander, router, and drill press are the ideal. In lieu of the above, a circular saw can replace the table saw, a portable sander replaces the spindle sander, a jig saw replaces the band saw and a sanding block and sheet sandpaper replaces the router. A cordless drill replaces the drill press. Keep in mind, the chair will not look as professional or as clean using the replacements, nor will it be as easy to build.
Nothing rips straight and true as a table saw and nothing makes rounded edges like a router. Nothing cuts curves like a band saw. That being said, with some extra time and a slower pace invested in the project, you can make it almost as good as what is shown. Use stainless steel or galvanized screws and carriage bolts.
Spend the extra money. Next year when you're looking at all the rust streaks coming from the screw holes, you'll understand why. I made a chair with your plans; it turned out great. I need to make one more!
