Do-it-yourself roman chair

Only 2 manufacturing options:

• metal profile construction.
• wooden.

The standard version confidently withstands the weight of 90 kg, but if you weigh more, then use thicker pipes in the manufacture. Wooden models are less popular due to their bulkiness and lower reliability.

Drawings and Dimensions

The assembly of the structure is preceded by the preparation of its drawing indicating all the main dimensions. It is recommended to choose a ready-made option from the many presented on the Internet, which will save you time. The main elements of the Roman chair are:

• racks on which legs are fixed;
• central pipe;
• a board for a seat and thin foam rubber;
• soft cushions and foot rests.

The standard equipment is a simulator length of 1100 mm, a width of 500 mm and a height in the upper position of the bench of 700 mm. The distance from the floor to the roller should be about 400 mm.

How to assemble a design

Since welding is required to make a chair, you either must have the necessary skills and equipment, or seek the help of a specialist. The work is carried out in several stages:

1. The pipe (preferably square) is cut into the necessary fragments, and then connected by welding. The cross section of the pipe should be at least 50x50x4 mm. Next, the foot mounts from the tube are welded.
2. The board used for the seat is taken 3 cm or more, while it is recommended to treat it with an antiseptic, which will extend the life of the structure. Metal corners are screwed to it, then welded to the finished frame or bolted with bolts, the holes for which must be pre-drilled.
3. After fixing, the seat is covered with thin foam and then leatherette. It should not be too soft as a result.
4. Welding places are carefully processed with sandpaper, after which the entire bench is painted. Finally, soft foam rolls are fixed on the tubes that serve to hold the legs.

A wooden Roman chair is made according to the same principle, while all elements should be carefully processed with sandpaper to absolute smoothness. You should not assume that the shell will turn out much cheaper than the purchased one, however, it is guaranteed to be stronger and more reliable, it will last you more than one year.
