DIY CHILD’S ADIRONDACK CHAIR
Small in size, big on relaxation.
Few things beat relaxing in the timeless comfort of an Adirondack chair. Unless, of course, you’re passing that relaxation to your little ones by crafting a DIY Child’s Adirondack Chair. This free project plan offers the same sturdy design as our classic Adirondack Chair, just scaled smaller for kids to play, read or roast marshmallows in comfort.
This might seem like just a small project, but its impact on backyard memories will be cherished for years to come. Our youth Adirondack chair plan doesn’t require a lot of carpentry expertise or time spent in the garage. Just quality YellaWood® brand products, a little hard work, and a lot of backyard passion. This special kid-sized chair ensures that your backyard moments will be nothing short of five-star.
Important reminders before you get started:
If you choose to stain and seal your new DIY Child's Adirondack Chair, we recommend YellaWood Protector® semi-transparent stain and water repellent wood sealer for long-lasting beauty and protection.
