Start by gathering all the required PVC pipes. Carefully measure and cut the pipes according to your desired dimensions for the chair frame. You'll need pipes for the base, legs, armrests, and backrest. Ensure that the cuts are precise to maintain the structural integrity of the chair. Use a PVC cutter for clean edges and an even finish.

Make holes on each of the 1/2" PVC pipes. These holes will be used to pass the ropes to create the backrest.

For the backrest, cut multiple PVC segments that will serve as the slats. Arrange these slats horizontally, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Use a strong, durable rope to sew the slats together, threading the rope through drilled holes in the PVC cutouts. The gaps between the slats are maintained using 2-inch PVC pieces placed at regular intervals. Secure the rope tightly to ensure the slats stay in place, providing a comfortable and sturdy backrest.
