The Easy Build Standard

If it isn’t simple, we don’t sell it.

Every Easy Build plan passes five tests before it reaches you. When a design falls short, we fix the design, not the instructions.

  • ToolsA drill, a saw, a tape measure, a square and two clamps. That’s the whole workshop.
  • CutsStraight crosscuts, and only a handful of different board lengths.
  • JoinerySolid wood-on-wood joints, fastened with screws. No pocket holes, no router, no glue-ups.
  • StepsTen steps or fewer, each with a check and the mistake to avoid.
  • ScrewsEvery screw is mapped in 3D so each one bites solid wood and none collide.
Why we exist

Designer outdoor furniture shouldn’t cost thousands, or take a workshop to build. We design pieces anyone can build with basic tools, so your first build looks like it came from a showroom, and you get to say: I made that.

Before you build

I’ve never built furniture. Can I really do this?

Yes, and that’s exactly who we design for. Every plan lists its skill level up front, and the Level 1 plans need only measuring, straight cuts and driving screws. The 3D guide shows each move before you make it.

What’s included with a plan?

A printable PDF with drawings, a cut list and step-by-step instructions, plus the interactive 3D build guide and your Home Depot shopping list. Buy it once and it stays in your plan library.

What will the materials cost?

It depends on the piece and the wood. Every plan page shows its full shopping list with an estimate in cedar and a budget version in pressure-treated pine, so you can price your build before you buy the plan.

Will it hold up outdoors?

Western red cedar naturally resists rot and insects. Give it a fresh coat of oil once a year and it will weather beautifully for years.
