Outdoor Project Plans

These outdoor plans are built from exterior-grade plywood, sealed or painted on every face and edge: regulation cornhole boards, a shooting bench with its seat, a cedar or plywood birdhouse, nesting boxes for the chicken coop and a camp kitchen chuck box. The cornhole boards are drawn at the regulation 24 × 48 in size, with legs that fold flat for storage.

Outdoor Project Plans

Outdoors, the edges matter most: plywood edges soak up rain and delaminate. Seal them before assembly and keep the boards off wet ground.
