There’s something about warm weather pouring through the windows that makes you want to head outside, roll up your sleeves, and tackle a new home project. There are plenty of simple DIY ideas homeowners can do on their own, whether you want to build a pergola or take on gardening as a new hobby. Here’s a quick look at some of the most popular woodworking projects to take up this summer.

Wooden Sectional for Decks & Porches

Outdoor sectionals are great seating options for decks and porches, but it can be tough to find one that fits your space’s measurements. Use basic building supplies to create a fully customized wooden piece that can seat multiple people. Create colorful cushions using waterproof material for a pop of color that lets guests recline comfortably.

Raised Garden Box for Homegrown Produce

There is nothing more satisfying than serving a salad filled with homegrown greens. Garden boxes, also known as raised beds, are any easy introduction into gardening for homeowners who want to begin growing their own produce this season. A raised bed is built using wooden boards, making it ideal for small plots of vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

Shade Your Backyard With a Pergola

Spring and summer are the poster seasons for outdoor entertaining, but it can be uncomfortable to sit under the hot sun. Help shade your deck or backyard by building a pergola. When built near shade trees to help with additional coverage, its simple beam structure provides a cool lounging spot for friends and family to gather underneath.
