Project guide

An Adirondack chair is a pattern project, not a box.

The seat and back are curves. A plan with a full-size pattern is worth more here than a plan that only lists board lengths.

Seat slope is what makes it comfortable. Too flat and it feels like a park bench.
Arms are wide so a drink can sit there. Narrow arms miss the point.
Use exterior screws and glue rated for outside.
