Tools: Drill / Driver, Speed Square. Materials: 1x2 board, 8 ft, Exterior screws, 2" and 1-1/4", Waterproof wood glue
Build the seat frame from the side and end aprons and the two supports with glue and 2" screws. Make sure it's square — the slats and breadboard ends all reference off it.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: 1x3 board, 8 ft, Exterior screws, 2" and 1-1/4", Waterproof wood glue
Attach the 1x3 breadboard ends with 1-1/4" screws and glue. Set a seat slat between them as a spacer to line them up without measuring.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: 1x3 board, 8 ft, Exterior screws, 2" and 1-1/4", Waterproof wood glue
Screw the five seat slats to the supports with glue and 1-1/4" screws, spaced evenly so rain drains through.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: 1x3 board, 8 ft, Exterior screws, 2" and 1-1/4", Waterproof wood glue
Attach the four legs to the seat aprons with 1-1/4" screws and glue. Check the stool sits level and doesn't rock.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Random Orbit Sander. Materials: 1x2 board, 8 ft, Exterior screws, 2" and 1-1/4", Waterproof wood glue, Exterior finish
Attach the longer bottom supports to both the shorter supports and the legs with 1-1/4" screws and glue, tying the legs together low. Give the stool at least a base finish coat, touch up screw holes with paintable silicone or filler, sand lightly, and add a topcoat.
