What happens here

Using pressure-treated lumber (e.g., 2x4s, 2x6s), cut the pieces according to your planned dimensions for the couch's base and backrest. Assemble the framing members using screws appropriate for outdoor use. For the seat, create sturdy rectangular frames that will support the composite decking. For the backrest, construct vertical frames, ensuring they are designed with a slight recline for comfort.

Goal: Build the sturdy structural frame for the couch's seat and backrest.
