Bar stool outdoors- problem

[Marty D]

I got 4 outdoor bar stool with arms. I think I may a mistake? Tomorrow I’m putting down 2x2 bluestone with river rocks like I did for outdoor shower. See picture. Because the bar stool has arms and they don’t swivel, you need to pull the chair out to get on but how can you pull the chair back when your sitting on them. I didn’t think this out.

Whenever you're considering buying stools, it's helpful to get some samples to see how they will work.

What if you butt the stones close together and use sand?

What you can do is put down bigger and more pavers. It would be the same idea as the shower area so should work.

The problem is getting the chair closer to bar top as your sitting on the chair. I should of gotten chairs with no arms or swivel. Tomorrow as I’m doing the stone I will figure it out. Mayb a skinny 22 years old can do it but I will not !!

Maybe you can get some wheels for the chairs?

Maybe not a good idea to add wheels to a tall chair that was not designed for wheels because it might be a safety problem.

This morning we went to a stone place to buy 1/2 yard of river rock. They wanted $375 bucks a 1/4 yard. It would of been o $750. Went to Home Depot $12 a bag. Picked up 32 bag. I think I save $150 bucks

I’m liking this deal. Watching the grandkids as my son does all the work.

I’m loving watching my son doing the work and I’m drinking coffee and the hole family are swimming. Getting injured is not that bad. Lol

SO how did you break your toes???

SO how did you break your toes???

The new 30 gallon BQ tank - I went to fill it, as I picked it up it slipped out of my hand and landed on my toe. I had no shoes on. I cracked the bone on little toe and 4 th toe. It’s because in January I had trigger fingers surgeries done on my right hand. Lost my power.

You need some rehab to strengthen your hand!
