Now that the weather is warming up with the approach of spring and summer, it’s creating a desire in all of us to spend a little more time outside. You can’t help but want to sit outside and enjoy the warm sun. Whether you’re having a BBQ or a family backyard bonfire, or you simply just want to sit in nature and get fresh air, you’re going to need some outdoor furniture to do all that. Yes, you can go buy that furniture, but there are also great DIY outdoor furniture pieces you can make, as well.

Here are 9 of the best outdoor furniture pieces:

1. Macrame Hammock Chair

How fun is this hammock chair? I’ll be honest, I’ve always wanted one of these. They look really cool and they’re comfortable to sit in. You can hang them from your patio or from a tree, in the sun, or out of the sun. Now I can’t wait to make one of these for my own backyard so I can relax all summer long in style.

Check out eHow to find an incredible amount of tutorials for almost everything you’ll ever want to know how to do.

2. Tiled Outdoor Bar

Most likely while you’re spending time outdoors, you’re going to be serving some kind of food or drinks for your guests. That means you’ll need some sort of bar where you can serve it all from. You can build this beautiful outdoor bar just for that. Both you and your guests will love it.

You’ll find lots of great home renovation and tutorial ideas over at Shanty 2 Chic.

3. Patio Table With Ice Boxes

My gosh, isn’t this table amazing? I mean how clever is it to have built-in ice boxes so that when you and your friends run out of drinks, you can easily grab another cold one without getting up. It’s the ultimate DIY outdoor furniture piece. Everyone is going to want to spend time in your backyard once you build this awesome table.

4. Metal Bucket Outdoor Coffee Table

One of the things I love about this coffee table is that it goes so perfectly with the outdoor area. Usually those metal buckets are used outside to keep drinks cold with ice when you’re having some sort of outdoor function. Now, it can be the base of your beautiful outdoor coffee table. It has an amazing rustic look that everybody will love.

5. Aluminum Chair Makeover

How cool is this chair? I’m sure we all have those old folding chairs lying around that may be ripping, tearing, or falling apart. Instead of throwing them away, give them a little makeover so you can still use them in your backyard. These certainly look so much better than the original fabric. Everyone that comes to your house will love to sit in these colorful, fun chairs.

A Beautiful Mess is a wonderfully creative website full of really fun DIY ideas and craft projects for everything in your home.

6. Outdoor Daybed

One of the best things to do while you’re spending time outside is to lay down, relax, and even better, take a nice little nap. You can do just that on this DIY outdoor daybed. I just want to jump in this picture, onto the bed, and relax with a book for a whole afternoon. I think I would need a “Do Not Disturb” Sign to go along with this daybed.

Apprentice Extrovert is another great renovation and DIY website where you’ll find lots of great tutorials for all kids of different things in your home.

7. Outdoor Bench

Sometimes you just need a bench somewhere in your yard so you can sit and enjoy a few minutes in the fresh air. This bench made of wood and cinder blocks is easy to build yet really sturdy. I love the modern look. If it looks to uncomfortable for you, just throw a few pillows on there and you’re good to go.

8. Outdoor Chaise Lounge

Okay, can you imagine a better spot to relax and lay in the sun by the pool than this amazing lounge chair? I mean it’s like a having a day spa in your very own backyard. I could probably lay here all day with a book and drink in hand. Watching a movie in the backyard during the summer on this would be amazing, too. I may just have to have my husband build us a few of these.

9. Outdoor Sofa

I love that this outdoor sofa doesn’t look like you’re typical sofa. It’s nice and large and extra comfy because the bottom is made from a mattress. So really, this could double as a sofa AND a bed! It doesn’t get much better than that, right? I can imagine spending endless hours on this while my kids play in the backyard. I would just have to make sure to not fall asleep while watching them!
