Concrete Garden Chair
What you will need:
- Pieces of ordinary plywood:
- 209 x 110mm
- 117 x 110mm
- 670 x 110mm
- 405 x 110mm (you need 2)
- 695 x 390mm
- 577 x 390mm
- 670 x 390mm
- 620 x 390mm
- 380 x 390mm
- 405 x 390mm
- A drill
- Wood screws
- Re-enforcement
- Steel Trowel
- Rubber mallet
- 2 buckets riversand
- 1 bucket 19mm stone
- 1 bucket cement
What to do:
- Working on a level surface, assemble all cut pieces of plywood together in the shape of a chair (as shown on the video clip). Then use wood screws to put all the pieces together
- Cut re-enforcing 6ml bar into fair size and put four pieces to create a grid then use binding wire to secure them in place. You will need 3 re-enforcing grids for this chair.
- Mix 2 buckets of riversand, 1 bucket of cement and 1 bucket of 19mm stone with water to form a yoghurt consistency concrete mixture.
- Pour in the concrete into the boxing, use a piece of wood to spread the mixture until you have at least 10cm concrete layer at the bottom of the boxing. Place the re-enforcing grid into the boxing then continue to fill the boxing with the concrete up to the top. Use a steel trowel to smooth the down the top and create a smooth finish.
- To get rid of the air pockets that might be trapped inside, gently tap the boxing with a rubber mallet. Then leave it to dry for at least 5 days (or until its dry) before removing the concrete chair from the boxing
