Is there a better way to relax in the garden with your sweetie, than on an Adirondack loveseat? Probably not. On the other hand, you may decide to claim the loveseat all for yourself while you enjoy a hot cup of coffee and the morning newspaper. Whether you are an experienced or novice woodworker, youll find this an easy and rewarding Adirondack project that takes just a day or so. Its easy to find a variety of woodworking plans that can help you build just the right loveseat for your deck or patio.
An Adirondack loveseat has that classic, laid-back design of an Adirondack chair, but is wide enough to accommodate two people. Some loveseats have a single extended backrest while others may have two distinct backrests joined together. For even more comfort, select a rocking loveseat or a glider. Before buying or downloading your woodworking plans, its worth it to spend some time deciding what type of loveseat you want.
Pick a Spot
Its also a good idea to think about where youll put your finished loveseat so that you select the right plan. If you intend to put it on a hard surface such as a porch, deck or patio, a standard loveseat, glider or rocker will work fine. However, if your loveseat will be on a soft or uneven surface, such as a lawn or gravel surface, a rocker or glider may not be a good choice, as they work best on a level surface.
