Chaise Lounge Technology

Chaise Lounge ChartAny person who has certain skills in handling carpentry tools is able to build a deck chair, since its design is not much different from a garden bench. Most often the chaise lounge is made of natural wood.

Work begins with building durable frame, which will require two longitudinal planks 190–220 cm long and two transverse widths of 50–70 cm. The boards are thoroughly polished and covered with a protective layer (varnish or stain), which will further protect it from the effects of external conditions.

To give the structure the necessary rigidity, the longitudinal and transverse boards are rigidly interconnected. Formed the so-called frame chaise longue.

For the manufacture of the seats the board is cut into uniform bars 50–70 cm long (10–14 pcs.) and attached with a self-tapping screw to the deckchair frame in 1 cm increments.

Spinka lounger it is made so that it can enter into the frame of the chaise longue and still need to remain small gaps between the frame and the backrest. The boards on the backrest frame are fixed with screws along its entire length. To give aesthetics backrest, it is desirable to round off the upper edge of the plates.

Для закрепления спинки шезлонга к его каркасу используются отверстия, расположенные на расстоянии 8−10 см от края the seats. Спинка фиксируется с помощью шпилек к двум сторонам каркаса, а уровень ее наклона регулируется с помощью special support beam. One end of this beam rests against the headboard of the back, and the other is inserted into the grooves of the special rail attached to the frame of the chaise lounge. There should be about four such grooves (define a different angle of inclination of the back).

Finally, the whole structure is sanded. sandpaper and covered with the appropriate paint.

Для этого две трапеции соединяются с помощью перекладин длиной 60 см. Одна из них соединяет два верхних угла трапеций (там крепится верх ткани the seats), другая — два нижних угла (спинка шезлонга). Третья перекладина соединяет самые верхние углы маленькой части трапеции и на нее крепится низ the seats. Сидением обычно служит кусок крепкой ткани длиной 150 см и шириной 60 см. Детали шезлонга крепятся с помощью metal corners or spikes.

If desired, you can build an awning canopy over the head of a seated person, which is attached to the back of the deck chair. The canopy geometry can have a wide variety of sizes depending on desire.
