2 x 4 Projects for Outdoor Living

Transform your deck, yard, patio, or garden into perfect outdoor rooms for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing in style. Maybe all it takes is an outside bar, just like the ones at posh hotels, or a comfy Adirondack sofa; practical barbecue, or fun porch swing. Go ahead; start building! Even if you're a beginner who has never wielded a hammer, these pieces are well within your abilities. Every one has been simplified with the novice in mind, and uses only standard lumber and a few everywhere-available materials. Many of the projects, such as a cheery birdhouse table, can take just a few hours to make. And, they're all wonderfully sturdy, ready to stand up to the elements. Enhance any al fresco space with a deck canopy; tiled coffee table; lattice screen; trellis and fountain; and more. You'll save on specialty store versions, and the handmade ones will fit perfectly with your lifestyle and surroundings! 21 projects in all.
