Fast & Easy Cushion - Fabric Stapled to a Backer Board

In this short tutorial video we will be recovering a folding seat cushion. The decorative fabric is stapled to a backer board on the reverse side and is screwed to stainless steel folding seat brackets so the seat can be folded down or up. We used Outdura® upholstery fabric for this cushion cover project. Outdura upholstery fabrics are solution-dyed acrylic indoor/outdoor performance fabrics. They are UV, water and mildew resistant and very easy to clean and maintain. You will find hundreds of styles and colors at the Sailrite website. Let’s get started!
