In this video you will learn how to make the same DIY folding cedar Kentucky Stick Chairs I built for the "off grid" tiny house / A-frame cabin in my backyard. Also called Tamarack Chairs or Cricket Chairs, these wooden lawn chairs look great on any deck, porch, patio, poolside, or campsite.
Chairs like this sell for hundreds of dollars online, but you can make it yourself in 3 steps for a lot less. All you need is a few 2x4s, some basic tools, and a couple of weekends.
