I found this pattern online. I wanted to make a deck chair but something differend from the adirondacks. I changed things by making the back taller and altered the curves some. It is very comfortable. It does not really fold, the seat pulls out and stores in the back of the back rest. Makes it easy to trasnport. Stringers are white oak and the slats are cedar.

these are great. I like the idea of the seat storage.
Do you remember where you found the plans?

I really like these! I’d like something different than what has become the standard deck chair. Quite nice.

Dittos on the plans. I like the look of the chairs. Since you say they are very comfortable I want some.

Thanks for the nice compliments. Maybe I should not say where I found the plans and start selling the chairs?
Just kidding.
Here is where I found the plans I started from. http://www.scouters.us/homecha.html
Main changes I made were to the seat back. I made it taller and changed the curve at the top. The pattern I ended up with allowed me to use a narrower board and create less waste. I have a good source for rough sawn kiln dried white oak. I really like working with it and it has held up well so far in the summer weather. I used cedar for the slats except where the seat intersected the back, there I used oak.

Looks good, I’m cutting some of these out now. I found a similar design from an old fellow at a tradeday in Scottsburrough AL.
