      Plan a DIY Adirondack chair

      Adirondack Chair Planner sizes the classic Adirondack / Muskoka chair to you — seat height, depth and width, how far it leans back, and the arms — and draws every shaped part as a full-size cut pattern: download them as SVG for a CNC, laser or a printer, then trace them onto your boards.

      1. Fit it

      Pick your height, or set the seat, recline and arms yourself.

      2. Pick the lumber

      1× boards for the classic look, or 2× lumber for a chunkier chair; cedar, pine or treated.

      3. Get the patterns

      Stringers, arms, corbels and the back's arc, full size.

      4. Cut, build, sit

      Work from the cut list, patterns and build steps.
