Step-by-step guide for building a garden lounger

Step 1 of 7: Acquire the materials

Schritt 1

Refer to the material list for the materials and dimensions. It's easier to have the wooden parts cut to size in a DIY store. Alternatively, use a saw or hand-held circular saw and a guide.

Step 2 of 7: Sanding and removing the dust

Schritt 2

Before the components get a coat of paint, the wood needs to be lightly sanded. Afterwards, use a dust-free microfibre cloth to ensure the surface is free from dust and dirt.

Step 3 of 7: Building the frame

Gerüstbau

Screw the cross struts to the side walls so that the frame can stand up. Then ensure the individual slats are spaced at an equal distance.

Our tip: place a spare piece of wood between the planks, so that the distance remains constant. Then simply staple the slats together with a strap to prevent them from moving when tightened.

Step 4 of 7: Assembling the reclining surface

Schritt 6

Place the reclining surface on the frame and screw it to the side walls.

Step 5 of 7: Preparing the spray unit

Schritt 7

The spray unit is ready for use in just a few steps. Fill the paint container up to 3/4 full with paint and dilute it following the manufacturer’s instructions. To do this, use the included stirring stick – each notch corresponds to a 10% dilution. The suction pipe can be aligned depending on how you are going to work – forwards when spraying objects overhead and backwards when spraying downwards. The spray jet can also be adjusted in three directions – horizontally, vertically and diagonally. Carry out a test spray to find the right settings for you.

Step 6 of 7: The spraying process

Schritt 9

Start with the corners, edges and angles and then spray the surfaces. From the outside, spray over the slats at a uniform distance. Only change the direction of spray outside the slats. This avoids a build-up of thicker layers of paint during direction changes.

Schritt 10

Start with the corners, edges and angles and then spray the surfaces. From the outside, spray over the slats at a uniform distance. Only change the direction of spray outside the slats. This avoids a build-up of thicker layers of paint during direction changes.

The result: a comfortable garden lounger
