Patio seating comes in many materials and price ranges — which can be good and bad.

For instance, ready-to-assemble outdoor furniture may be functional, but it also looks off-the-rack. And like everybody else’s outdoor furniture.

Whether you entertain a lot or just want a backyard paradise to personally enjoy, creating a set of paver chairs is a surefire way to do that.

Pavestone RumbleStone blocks, made of durable concrete, are engineered to mimic the appearance of weathered cut stone. They have a natural look and feel and give any outdoor living space texture and depth.

Best of all, they resist decaying and fading and don’t attract pests.

Patio seating made from these rustic building blocks is sure to be a crowd-pleaser and a conversation piece.

Follow this guide as inspiration to create your own paver chairs.


What You’ll Need


How to Build Paver Chairs

1. Create a ‘U.’

Lay small, medium and large RumbleStone blocks in a U shape.

Choose the size that works for you and cut any of the blocks as needed with a circular saw. (Just wear protective eyewear before you do.)

This chair’s U shape is 24 1/2 inches deep and 35 inches wide.​​

2. Bond the blocks together. Apply construction adhesive on top of each row of stones before you add the next row of stones.

3. Mix it up. Vary the pattern of stones for each new row. This way, no continuous seams will be seen from the bottom to the top of the chair. Also, this makes the chair stronger and more visually appealing.

4. Fill it in. Use trapezoid blocks to fill in the back of the chair once it reaches 24 inches high. Apply construction adhesive to the bottoms and the sides of these blocks to form the back of your chair.

5. Add the seat. Patio seating is nothing without the seat! So, inside the legs of the chair, glue four 45-millimeter-large blocks vertically to support the seat of the chair. Then, to create the seat, secure four 2-by-4 wood planks to a couple of 2-by-2 cleats with a power drill and deck screws.


Make them Comfortable

These chairs add instant elegance to your outdoor living space, especially if you have a paver patio. Now there’s just one thing left to do: add cushions!

You can add a back cushion and leave the wooden seat as is, or you can add a matching seat cushion to soften the chair’s appearance and enhance your comfort.

Need shade? Add a matching patio umbrella or shade sail overhead to tie the look together, so your hardscape elements (the paver patio and paver chairs) match, and your cloth elements (the cushions and shade) complement each other, too!

The result is sure to rival your neighbors’ patio seating, and will make your outdoor living space the best-looking one on the block.
