Posted by Feb 08, 2014
onThis hand made, small camping chair is perfect for all outdoor occasions as it's light weight and portable, making it an ideal choice for a festival. It measures 65cm tall when folded and 42cm wide. When standing it is 50cm high.
Moving parts of each deck chair are held in place by 5mm zink coated steel bolts with locking nuts that have been counter sunk into the pine frame for added safety. Complete with one large and two small steel washers to smoothen the kinetic action.
An 18mm dowel holds the fabric cover to the frame. This is removable so that the cover can be taken off and washed. Large screws that hold the frame together have been counter sunk and covered with a mixture of saw dust and PVA that has been smoothed to an attractive finish and the whole frame has been coated with Danish oil.
Materials: 2"x1" wood (approx 5 meters), 2 x 5mm bolts with washers and lock nuts, (2x) 45x90cm of strong weve fabric, 2.5" screws, wooden dowel and glue. Tools: Saw, drill + bits, rasps, sandpaper, Danish oil or varnish and sewing machine
