The plans below don't include instructions for the top. This has a 17''x17'' concrete slab, but you can make a wooden top or mosaic or plain tile.

Materials

3 -1 x 3 @ 8'
1 - 1 x 2 @ 4'
1 1/4'' outdoor Pocket Hole Screws
Outdoor Wood Glue
1 - 17'' top

Cut List

1 x 3
4 @ 17''
4 @ 12''
4 @ 12 1/2
2 @ 17'' (both ends pointed at 45 degrees)
2 @ ~ 7 1/4'' (both ends pointed at 45 degrees)

1 x 2
4 @ 17''

Step 1:

Build the sides as shown below with the 12'' and 17'' 1 x 3s using wood glue and 1 1/4'' pocket hole screws. You'll make two of these.

Step 2:

Cut the long x-sides to the specifications below.

Step 3:

Cut the short sides of the ''x''s as shown below. Measure the opening in your sides and cut to fit.

Step 4:

Build the non-x sides as shown above with pocket hole screws and glue.

Step 5:

Assemble the stool by screwing or nailing through the face of the ''x'' sides into the non ''x'' sides. You could also try to pre-drill pocket holes in the 1 x 2's attach the outer sides, but no such luck with that!!
