Building steps

Step 1: preparing the pallets

For this pallet sofa/armchair you will need 3 american-type pallets: 2 for the seat and 1 for the backrest.

On one pallet you will need to take away the two strips that are in the edges to build the armrest in the next step.

Step 2: building the base for the armrest

Place the two pallets one on top of the other and take away the wooden strip of the edges (green color).

Then, place 3 blocks on each side to use as a base for the arm rest (to be built in the next step).

Step 3: building the armrest

When you have the blocks in palce, put in place the wooden strip that makes the armrest structure. The armrest is finished.

Do the same for both sides.

Step 4: placing the backrest pallet

The backrest is built using a third pallet that is placed in the back of the structure.

If the sofa will be against a wall you will probably not need to attach it very strong.

A few decking screws from the back would be enough to hold it in place.

When the model is finished you hace to sand it to avoid splinters. You can also paint or oil it.

Step 5 (optional): placing the cushions
