The choice of material should be approached very seriously, you need to think about the device of the sofa in advance. Having made a detailed list of all necessary, you can go to the hardware store. The thickness and quantity of everything needed will depend only on your preferences and wishes.

The basis of the sofa is most often made of wood, timber of coniferous trees. Usually, preference is given to pine timber, as it is stronger than its “brothers”. The following important materials can be distinguished:

• DVP - a bottom for a sofa and drawers.
• Chipboard - laminated, serves for the furniture board (the base of the sofa and armrests).
• Plywood - trim for the frame of the sofa. The best is considered birch.
• Foam rubber, sintepon - materials for stuffing the back of the sofa, pillows.
• Upholstery fabric - decorative part of the sofa, which serves to waist and create the final image.
• Fasteners - screws, screws, corners, nails and all that with the help of which will be the assembly of elements.
• Sliding mechanism - the type of mechanism, the choice depends on your desire, as well as on skills.
• Furniture legs - can be stable or on wheels.
• Glue, threads - will be useful when joining pieces of foam rubber and working on the waist.

So, you will need to prepare the following:

• Screwdriver with different nozzles - for screwing fasteners or create holes.
• Circular saw - for cutting large items requiring precision (or jigsaw).
• A hacksaw (hand saw) and barrels - for cutting exact angles.
• Knife for cutting foam rubber and scissors for fabric.
• A sewing machine - for the cover and waist.
• Furniture stapler - to secure the matter.
• Twine or twine - to give an interesting shape back and various elements.

So, training is needed. For the manufacture of the sofa you need to make a drawing with all sizes and elements. If you have problems with cutting, then you can order it in the store where the materials will be purchased.

Number all the details (in accordance with the drawing) and carefully lay out everything as important: the most necessary things are at the top or next, then the elements are smaller. It is important to start assembly with large parts, then you need to gradually “build up” everything else on the frame. Mounts can only be screws. For durability, you can first glue, and then fix the result with screws.

Given the fact that the sofa corner, you need not to confuse the details of the short and long sides. The order of execution:

• First, put up two sidewalls and use fasteners to connect them to a horizontal bar and vertical posts. Mounting points should be at least four for each rack. The frame of one side is ready. Now it needs to be sheathed. A sheet of plywood is attached on top of the frame. To the back you need to attach chipboard.

• Next, you need to go to the assembly of the second part - short. There will also be a box for linen. On the sides you need to attach the longitudinal transverse bars. Sheathe the finished frame and seat chipboard and plywood. Bottom close the hardboard.

• If the box is removable, then it can be made of fiberboard. For the lifting mechanism, drill holes for fastening the bolts and fasten.

• The armrests for the sofa can be removable, fabric or associated with the frame. To do this, screw the frame to the frame that follows the shape of the armrest. All this is sheathed chipboard.

• If the armrests are of unusual shape, with bends, then use fiberboard and many small nails.Sharp borders need to be smoothed so that the skin does not wear out.

• Finish the finished wooden structure with foam rubber - for the seats, take solid, solid pieces on the left and right sides, and the backrest can be made into a team of several elements. The recommended thickness of foam rubber is more than 100 millimeters. If there is no such thickness, then thin elements can be glued together.

• If you want to make an interesting back with bends, then use the splits and the remnants of foam pieces, giving a beautiful shape. For armrests it is better to use batting. The assembly of the base at this stage is complete.

• Go to the upholstery. In order not to wear out the fabric, the foam rubber does not wear out, it is better to make a tightening with agrotextile between them. For waist, choose a dense wear-resistant fabric - tapestry, thermo-saccardic or chenille.

• For accuracy and beauty, a pattern or pattern is needed. You can also attach fabric to the sofa and chalk out areas for cutting. Do not forget to leave fabric for allowances - 2-3 centimeters each. When cutting out the back, take into account its shape, creating the appropriate elements. Hauling may be with stitched elements.

• To create a bump back, use the twine and stapler. Make holes in the back for tensioning. In the holes, draw a loop - and attach the splits to it.

• Being engaged in upholstery, monitor the uniformity of stretch. The picture must match. To simplify work, use plain fabrics or patterns that do not require accuracy.

With a corner sofa on the balcony and in the gazebo comfort is provided to you. On warm summer evenings, it will be very nice to have your whole family or invite friends.

This sofa can be created from the usual and all familiar pallets. Another name is pallets.

All work consists in building the necessary construction of the boxes and their fastening. However, for aesthetics, you need to pre-process the pallets in any convenient and appropriate way for the interior - sanding, dyeing, varnishing, creating an aging effect or gloss, decoupage, drawing. Anything that comes to your head and goes with the fabric will do.

Then you will need to make a seat.Place several pallets on top of each other until you get the required height and length. Fasten them together with screws. Between the boxes you can put solid sheets of plywood and get additional shelves for storage.

Then follow back. Place the pallets vertically relative to the seat so that the letter “G” is created.

Fold the resulting frame with plywood or particle board. Then you can glue the elements with foam rubber or make removable seat mats - without attaching the plywood to the pallets, sheathe the foam rubber and fabric. If necessary, they can be simply removed. Next, sew the necessary elements - pillows of different sizes, armrests. For the gazebo such sofas are relevant, in rainy weather and the cold season the pillows can be removed.
