Note: Loveseat Instructions are the same as the chair, with the exception that seat slats are 40" long and there are 7 additional middle back slats. There is an additional half length base that supports the middle of the seat slats. 51- 1 5/8" screws, 12- 2 1/2" screws and 14 2" screws.

Tools: Best to use power drill with 2" phillips bit and 9/16" wrench or crescent wrench

Glue: Buy a small bottle of "Tite bond II Premium wood glue, weather proof or something similar. Lowe's or Home Depot

Note: Directions stating left and right are as you sit in the chair

Note: Use 1 5/8" screws unless otherwise stated

Note: When screwing in screws, make them very snug, but don't let head dig into wood very far or cracking may occur

Caution: Rarely, but occasionally a knot may be in the path of a screw, if this happens, the knot will have to be pre drilled, or the screw may break off

Step 1: Take a #1 left & a #1 right side base support and glue & attach one #3 seat slat to the front edge of both bases, using 1 5/8” screws.

Step 2: Next take the lower canoe #4 and temporarily attach to bases as shown in photo. No need to tighten the screws all the way. This is to keep the two bases 20’ apart from front to back. Glue & attach the 5 remaining #3 seat slats. Then attach the half round seat. Space the seat slats and half round slightly less than 1/4”. Remove lower canoe.

Step 3: Apply glue around bolt hole and attach #2 left and right legs to bases using bolts, washer and nut. Counter sunk pre drilled holes at the top of the legs are on the inside of leg when attached to base.

Step 4: Turn base with legs attached right side up and rotate legs so bottom of legs are level with floor. Screw on nuts snuggly, but not tight. You will probably have to slightly rotate legs later in the assembly process.

Step 5: Take #4 lower canoe and attach 7, #5 back slats to canoe. Center back slats on canoe. Make sure counter sunk holes on canoe are on top, not on bottom. Also make sure there is a nice rounded curve on top of back slate when slats are fanned out before screwing slats to lower canoe. The pieces should be snug together at the bottom. Use 2” screws. It is ok to let screw dig into wood as you attach back slats to lower canoe. (You can use “middle canoe” #10 to temporarily hold up the top end of back slats while positioning and screwing lower end of slats onto lower canoe. 18” between lower canoe and middle canoe) Do not glue the slats to lower canoe.

Step 6: Take the #4 lower canoe with the #5 back slats attached and glue and screw the canoe/back slat assembly to the #1 bases using 2 - 1 5/8” screws on each side. Looks like second photo after attaching back rest.

Step 7: Attaching back legs #8. There is a left and right back leg. Position bottom of leg within the lines drawn on the inside of the base. Top of leg slopes away from back rest. Only fasten each leg with one screw right now.

Step 8: Take Middle canoe #10, glue & lay on top of back legs. Position so pre drilled holes are directly over top of back legs. Back of canoe slightly overhangs back edge of leg. Put one 2” screw in each end and then put the other 2” screws in each end.

Step 9: A. Glue and attach #7 front arm supports at the top, center, on the outside of front legs using two screws on the inside of the leg. B. Attach rear arm support #11 to outside of back leg. Top of support is 20” from floor. Support is not centered on width of leg. See dashed line.

Step 10: 1.Put lots of glue on top of front legs. Wipe up runs with wet rag later. 2. Place right arm on top of leg and rear support. 3. Back end of arm is flush with back edge of back leg. 4. 1” over hang on inside of front leg.

Step: 11 1. While pushing down on top of arm with hand, screw a 3” screw up thru arm support. Toe nail a 2 1/2”” screw thru top front & back edge of front leg into arm rest. 2. 2” screw into back arm rest support. 3. 2 screws into side of back leg into arm rest. Finish tightening bolts on front legs. & putting 2nd screw in bottom of back legs.

Step 12: Fan outside back rest slats out beyond end of middle canoe by 1/4”. Screw a 3” screw into ends of middle canoe into outside back rests. Evenly space rest of back rests and screw 5-2 1/2” screws into five remaining seat backs. Attach #12 top canoe approximately 5 1/2” above middle canoe.

Big Boy Instructions same as chair with the exception there is 1 extra middle back slat, 43-1 5/8" screws, 14- 2" screws, 10-2 1/2" screws and 4- 3"screws
