Why yes, that couch is UGLY. And yes, we do slide off it.
But it was used, cheap, and it's weatherproof.
Just look at the table with the food. |

Laura and started using the porch table/shelf I build last year after we were able to clear some room off our messy porch. I forgot how wonderful it is! And how easy and cheap it was to build.
It was an old board, sanded down and natural tongue oil. I hate painted wood, it hides the grain of the wood, and paint always chips. Stains and oils sink and are easy to reapply.
I only bought two sailing cleats and some non-stretchy cord from the hardware store. I had the board, oil and old hinges.

Ropes mean no table legs to get in the way of our legs! |

Where'd it go? Someone stole our table! Oh, it's hiding on the wall...cool. |

Sailing cleats to be able to easily cinch it tight. |

A slip knot and screw under table. |

A used hinge and random screws for the two under board hinges. Didn't even need a drill bit. |

It's like a large screen TV stuck on NTC (Neighborhood Traffic Channel.) |
