One of the keys to the cost is in the fact that they are products for use outdoors – in the often harsh Australian climate. We can’t simply ‘slip, slap, slop’ to protect them from the strength of the high summer sun! Equally, in many parts of the country, winter can be harsh in different ways.

How to Waterproof Patio Furniture Seat Cushions Clean all cushions if they are soiled. Let dry thoroughly.

How to Measure Your Sofa Step 1: Dimensions. Back Height: Measure the back height of your sofa from bottom to top. Seat Depth: Measure the depth of your sofa from front to back. Step 2: Thickness.

Outdoor fabrics, such as Sunbrella®, are moisture, mildew and fade resistant. Generally, this means if you leave the cushions uncovered during a rainstorm, the rain will bead up and roll off.

Both options can be beneficial for different situations; reupholstering is often a much easier process than buying brand new – it can save you time, hassle, and in many cases, cost – whereas buying new can be a better option if your current suite isn’t of a high quality and you want to change the size or style of sofa.
