Looking for your next weekend project? These DIY outdoor projects can be built in just a few days and will have your yard looking amazing in no time!
DIY outdoor furniture is my favorite thing to build! After toiling away at more precise furniture pieces in the colder months, it’s so refreshing to knock out an easy outdoor project when the weather warms up. Plus, I love the smell of freshly cut cedar! 🙂
Many of these outdoor projects have free woodworking plans available for download. Just print them off and take them with you to the garage or backyard, and get building!
