I got the bottom and the back all attached to the seat frame, (this seat frame is just a spare and is not the one I'm using) and it looks.... ok... You can see in some of these detail pics that I definitely need more sewing practice. Good thing I have 5 more seats to do and plenty of free material. Oh well, at least they're comfy!

Those look good and in my experience the little issues disappear once you shift focus to other projects and time passes. I'll be interested to see how this material holds up. I used pretty standard vinyl fabric from the local sewing store and it's held up well after years of constant outdoor exposure but not tons of seat time. It seems like this material that you are using could last even longer.

I think it's gonna hold up pretty well. These are winter covers that are meant to keep deer and other objects from falling through all winter long. I'd imagine they are UV rated also. Then when the customer replaces it for whatever reason, after who knows how long, my brother brings them home and we use them to cover wood piles or whatever. You can see in some of the close up pics above that they're still in great shape once I clean off all the dirt and salt spray. I think we used that one to cover a load of firewood once while driving home in a snowstorm and that's where the white road salt spray came from. I've used a few at my gun range for keeping the weeds away and to make it easier to pick up spent brass for reloading. These 3 covers have been down at my gun range for about 7 years so far I think. All year long with peoples boots and shoes running on them, driving on them with my ATV. Full direct sun in the summertime, lots of snow in the winter, and completely underwater for weeks during some springs. I never remove them. Plus that's after their original pool time usage for years. These are still in great shape and I could probably clean these up just as good looking as the one I used for the seat covers. You can also see some of the colors they come in, but not the blue one on the left, that's pool liner. Edited by Scratch - 03 Feb. 2023 at 12:04pm |
