Attaching the Additional Back Support

(c)2009 Chris Baylor licensed to About.com, Inc.
The next to last step of these free woodworking plans for an Adirondack Loveseat Glider Rocker is to attach additional back support to the seat slats. This board will only be attached to the seat backs, and not the frame of the chair, but it will provide lateral support for the seat back slats.

With your circular saw or compound miter saw, cut one length of 1x4 to 44" in length. Sand it completely using your random orbital sander before installing.

To install, measure 13" down the back side of the tallest back slats and make a mark. Then, position this support board so that the top edge of the board is on these marks, and so that it is equally centered side to side (approximately 1-3/4" in from the outer edges of the outermost back slats). Attach with two pre-drilled, countersunk 1-1/4" deck screws to each back slat.
