Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Measure your balcony space to determine the size of the seating area and bamboo shade.
2. Prepare the wooden pallets by sanding all surfaces smoothly to avoid splinters.
3. If necessary, cut the pallets to fit your balcony width.
4. Apply a wood stain or whitewash paint to the pallets, allowing them to dry fully. This gives the wood a light Scandinavian aesthetic.
5. Once dry, spray with a clear outdoor sealant to protect the wood from weather.
6. Stack or arrange the pallets to form a low seating bench; secure with wood screws to stabilize.
7. Add outdoor cushions on top for comfortable seating.
8. Install hooks and eye screws at the top edges of the balcony railing or walls to mount the bamboo roll-up shade.
9. Attach the bamboo shade using rope or twine, ensuring it can be rolled up and down easily for shade control.
10. Style with minimalistic accessories like a small potted plant or a soft throw to complete the Scandinavian look.
