However, this solution is not the best: the cottage is like a warehouse full of old sofas, cabinets and chairs.

Most suitable for garden furniture made of natural wood materials, beams, planks and rails, rather than standard, covered with plastic. The entire interior should emphasize the uniqueness of the situation and close relationship with the environment. Fans of tinkering with even the most small woodworking experience, can make this furniture yourself. And it will have a number of advantages before purchase, as designs customized “the size” and made with their own hands — will be particularly expensive.

A simple chair
 
This design is simple and concise. Fabrication begins with the Assembly of the two side frames. The connection of elements is performed in the spike with spreading carpenter’s glue or epoxy. The frame parts of the seat are joined together by means of screws with countersunk heads. Of plates of the seat fit on the inside overhead rails and fixed against displacement by small nails or screws. Pretty important step — securing the backrest to the frame. For reliability it is better to apply the method with independent built-in cylindrical spikes on the glue.
