Relax all summer long in the shade of this project, an eight-sided tree seat. In larger yards, the tree seat will serve as a focal point. In smaller yards, it creates loads of space with room for eight adults to sit comfortably when the neighborhood drops by for a visit.

BONUS PLANS: Are there lots of trees around your home? Save $9 and try your hand at building our hanging loveseat project. It’s perfect when suspended from a strong branch or above the porch. As an added bonus, we’ll also include instructions showing you how to turn the hanging loveseat into a cozy, rocking glider.

Simple and inexpensive to build, our tree seat is made from standard size lumber. Really, all you have to do is construct eight, single-seat benches and put them together. This keeps your work to a manageable size and eliminates the need for expert tools and skills.

The tree seat can be easily adjusted for almost any size tree. Our plans tell you how to build two popular sizes, fitting trees ranging from 24 to 36-inches in diameter.

The plans for this project come complete with a materials list, cutting schedule, full-size pattern templates, and all the step-by-step instructions a novice would require. Pattern No. YF-9.
