Finishing Touches On A HUGE Backyard Transformation!

What happens here

The project begins with the delivery and installation of custom outdoor seating cushions. These cushions are designed for exterior use, made from 'Drain Dry foam' to prevent water retention, 'Dacron wrap' for added softness, and 'Sunbrella fabric' for durability and weather resistance. The back cushions feature a sturdy vinyl fabric on the bottom with a zipper to allow for removal if needed, and are secured with Velcro to prevent movement. This ensures the cushions are well-fitted and protected from the elements.

Goal: Provide comfortable and weather-resistant seating for the outdoor area.

Walk us through Walk us through what we got here. What what you ended up, you know, kind of going with and uh the process here. What kind of materials we got? Okay, so started off with drain dry foam because this is exterior upholstery, not interior upholstery. We had to make sure that if it were to get wet, it drains properly. It's not really going to get wet, but it's under a roof, but it should be fine. Anyway, beyond that, we did Dacron wrap on top of it to give it a little bit of um just a little bit of softness cuz the drain dry is pretty firm. Still pretty firm, but it's got a little nice little layer of cushion on top of it. And on top of that is Sunbrella fabric, which is exterior grade material. This one is not quite as heavy-duty as some of their canvases, but it still has like a more comfortable feel when you're on it rather than feeling like you're on some sort of rigid It's nice and soft. Feels like cotton. Yeah, it feels It feels nice. Um but if it needed to be, you could like wash it and power wash it and get some schmutz off of it. What else? What else We went We went custom with this and we've got the backside of this, which was kind of a uh Oh, right. >> Maybe a last I don't know if a last-minute uh decision, but game time decision. >> time decision because after feeling this fabric, and it is not quite as rigid as some canvases are, um we didn't want the traction of the decorators to wear away at the bottom of the cushion.
