This DIY sofa can be made with basic power tools and a welder in less than 8 hours. Modern outdoor sofas can be quite expensive and this project can provide a more affordable alternative. I made this couch out of 1-1/2" x 2" x 1/8" steel angles and cedar 2x6s, and some outdoor sofa cushions that I bought from Home Depot. It is a sturdy DIY sofa that can works well inside using the slim cushion from the Simple Cushion Company:
