The original cushions were in useable condition with only one of them having a hole worn into it but I just didn’t like how they looked. So I bought some Sunbrella fabric and using the foam as a template I made some new covers. This also gave me a chance to inspect the foam which was still in good condition. My covers may not be perfect but from what I have read I saved a bunch of money by doing it myself. I also used Sailrite Plastic locking zippers as the metal zippers on the original covers were rusted shut.
