The plan is to build a "catio" from the basement egress window beneath the couch which will go to the side of the couch. I also plan on building a coffee table over the next couple of weeks. Would love to be able to enjoy a dinner out there.

Ahhhh that's so awesome >_< It looks amazing.
I'm starting to get an itch to create some basic patio furniture.
Any chance you have some plans you based this on that you can share?

Usually I try to build my own plans in Fusion 360 but this is the plan I used for this build. Figured it was easier than trying to ensure the cushions were right size.

TY! I like the reclining back, looks like it'd be more comfortable 🤔 I'm gonna try to give this a shot soon.

I just built a similar sectional with plans from Ana White. We haven't moved them onto the deck yet, but you might want to adjust the back so they're slanted a bit, depending on your cushions.

I used Ikea cushions and I'd agree, that was the most difficult thing to source.

THANK YOU! This is my next project.
I'll keep an eye out for IKEA cushions, there's one nearby.

I used Duvholmen cushions with Jarpon covers. Actually just moved them out and the Jarpon covers have their own padding in them so they're still comfy even with that single back support.

TY again, I got it all down in a doc 🙂
