Sofa for giving

Cottage is the place where we spend at least half of our summer. And properly equipped country house will help you to feel untapped from civilization, but just a resting person. In order to comfortably settle down, you definitely need a sofa to give.

First of all, the sofa for the garden should be comfortable and enjoy you. It should not be too hard, you and your back should rest on it. You should be ideally suited for its size, you should not be particularly tormented with its unfolding or washing.

On the other hand, it sounds strange, but it should not be particularly durable. Since in the country you spend a maximum of a couple of months (summer, part of spring and autumn, and quite a bit - winter), and not your whole life, the sofa for the dacha has the right not to be durable.It is unlikely that he will be tortured daily cat's claws, hot coffee or too noisy and big company. Of course, one should not forget about elementary comfort - he should not break right away either. Look at the models that are subject to repair, which have replaceable parts - in the set or you can buy them. Perhaps pay attention to sofas with removable covers or suitable for changing upholstery.

There are a sufficient number of types of sofas to give, and in order to choose one you need to decide for what purpose you are purchasing it.

So, for example, it is possible to conditionally divide all types into two - sliding and non-sliding. The first is ideal if you live in the country or you can spend a few nights. Firstly, it saves space (no bed is needed), secondly - money, and can serve as an extra bed for your guests.

To the sliding sofas are now popular "Accordion". This sofa with a wooden frame and carved armrests is named after the transformation mechanism. It works like this - you need to pull the seat and lower the back in its place.The mechanism is extremely simple - this is a plus, but the place to save with the "Accordion" will not work, since it does not have specialized drawers for linen. Also when unfolding it is installed on steel legs and this can be a little problem if you are used to walking barefoot on the floor.

Sofa "book" - the most famous version of the sliding. And, perhaps, the most reliable. The principle of its mechanism is virtually identical to the "Accordion" - the seat is pulled out and the backrest is lowered. Unlike the first, the “book” has enough space under the seat to arrange bedding or any other small things in the country. The main disadvantage of the “book” is its size, since it is not always at the cottage that there is enough space for its decomposed version. Therefore, before buying, be sure to measure the room. Also this mechanism has one weak point - the place of the bend. But he has a more advanced counterpart - “Eurobook”, equipped with a vykatny mechanism. That is, for the seat you need only to pull (it is equipped with wheels), and the back will settle down in its place independently.

Sofa with vykatny mechanism - the most suitable option for giving.Unlike the sliding one, it is not necessary to do unnecessary movements for its folding. And if Eurobook is an option for the lazy, then in the case of Dolphin, you will need to try a little. It is necessary to lift and pull the block under the seat at the same time so that it forms a bed with the seat. The advantages of this sofa are that it does not take up much space and even its backrest remains at rest, that is, it will not need to be moved away from the wall. But vykatny sofas, without exception, no drawers for linen in the case.

The non-sliding sofa is a classic. Reliability is attributed to its advantages, since such a mechanism is rather wear-resistant and difficult to break, and lightness, since quite often after country business there is no force to unfold. For example, Conrad, which consists of three sections, is particularly popular (perhaps in the case of a cottage, it will be necessary to choose a smaller section size). For its transformation, it is enough to pull the seat and put it on the legs, the rest will fit behind themselves.

The sofa will look very modern - it is a small sofa with a back and armrests of the same height.It can be either sliding or not, but it is rarely used in summer cottages, since it seems to many that the seat is too hard.

Special mention are sofa swings. It can be just a hanging sofa or bench, wicker or wooden. Perhaps this is the most romantic and relaxing option. You can sit down with your soulmate or spend the day in the shade in the company of a good book. Soothing rocking in an instant will put you in a state of relaxation and rest. This type of sofa is easy to install, has a relatively simple and intuitive mechanism, is easy to operate, assemble, takes up little space and has high comfort. Also, this sofa brings to the interior of a courtyard or house an atmosphere of comfort, but, unfortunately, does not fit as an extra bed - is rather narrow and, if not fixed, it swings.

First of all, measure the room and decide how much your future sofa should take up space. Country rooms, as a rule, are small, so a large sofa is useless here. Consider that some sofas, folding out, occupy a much larger amount of space than they are folded.

You should focus on the design in which your cottage is made. As a rule, Provence and Country styles are very popular, as well as various rustic and near-flower motifs that customize the summer. Strictness in the country to anything. Therefore, dark leather sofas are unlikely to fit the style and atmosphere. Beige, light brown and dim red shades fit perfectly at the right time - it’s better not to stop at white and “worn eyes” colors, as the first ones get dirty quickly, and the second ones attract too much attention to themselves. You can always throw a colorful blanket.

If you want to install a sofa on the street, on the veranda or in the gazebo, then a sofa swing is an excellent street option. As a rule, it is a small sofa that is attached to the support point by the ropes. The principle of its action is similar to the swing of children, which, of course, will appeal to both adults and children. It can be wooden or plastic and should not be subjected to greater loads than will be indicated in the instructions.

The most convenient material for the manufacture will be wood. It is easy to install and transport, it weighs less than metal and pipes, and is also an environmentally friendly material. You will need boards of different sizes - for the back, seats, armrests, the armrests themselves, carpenter's glue, paint or varnish, and putty. Of the tools - a hammer and everything attached to it (nails, bolts, and so on), a grinder, a screwdriver and a drill.

So, let's start creating a sofa.

1. First of all you have to decide on the size of the sofa. We advise you to make a drawing.
2. Next, pick up the shuprovert and connect a rectangular frame from the boards; for strength, seal the joints and joints with glue. It will be a seat frame.
3. Attach the back of the back also with a screwdriver and glue. A front frame connects with supports for the armrests. Further armrests are established, fasten to support and a back.
4. Now on the frame you need to nail another board, being a seat or special pallets. At this mounting work is completed. Now it's up to finishing.
5. Using a putty, cover all the gaps. When the mixture is dry, walk on the sofa machine, grinding, and then primed. If you wish - paint the product, but you can do varnishing.
6. Installing a hanging sofa is the hardest part of all the work. To do this, use the ring and rope, stretched through them. But the difficulty lies not in this. First, you have to decide on what to hang the sofa and what will be its support. The most commonly used triangular supports, which are a structure in the form of the letter "A". They are made of wood, two pillars are mounted at an angle, and between them a crossbar is installed, on which the swings themselves are hung.
7. The second option - support without side pillars. In this case, we will focus on two rectangular frames, one of which is the base, and the second is attached to it at an acute angle. There are boards between them. Outwardly, very similar to the usual children's swings.
8. A support in the form of a gazebo is also quite a popular and uncomplicated option. To do this you will need four pillars,which need to be installed vertically. A frame is installed on top, a crossbar is fastened to it, on which a sofa is hung with a rope and rings. This option is the most beautiful and comfortable, since the furniture also acquires the function of a gazebo.
9. For decoration, use a blanket (in case of remaining splinters) and pillows. They can be made independently using hay, cotton wool or feathers.

Depending on where you want to place the sofa, there are several options regarding its shape. For example, a corner sofa looks great in the kitchen corner next to the table. It can be placed in the living room, especially if you save space. There are both folding and corner sofas.

Folding sofa bed gives you the opportunity to receive guests at the cottage, and an inflatable bed will not only allow you to create a new bed in a minute, but it is also very easy to use and maintain. And even on it you can swim and just like a plastic and wicker sofa, it is easy to carry.

An interesting option would also be a collapsible sofa, which is completely disassembled and assembled, like a Lego.It is convenient in transportation, only now it can be really difficult to assemble it, as well as to find a folding collapsible sofa.

Also, you can always take your old sofa to the country - and why not? This is a great option for an economy class, especially if the sofa has not yet served its own, but you have already purchased a replacement for it.
