Outdoor Slipcovers

Outdoor Slipcover
This is one of those awesome Summer projects I’ve been talking about forever. And it was so massive to put together all the different photos and videos and instructions that it sat on my harddrive for my whole year of sickness. Today is the day it gets it’s due.

Outdoor Furniture
In this house I have the most amazing backyard. Totally landscaped by the owner, huge and with all kinds of levels to it, whatever patio furniture I had before was just swallowed up as soon as we put it out there. And if you’ve ever shopped for patio furniture, you know it is ridiculously expensive. Like, you might as well put the real stuff out there, expensive. Which meant that I had to get pretty creative to make this space usable and not just pretty.

Outdoor CouchI found this couch on the side of the road, cushions destroyed by a dog, waiting for the garbage man. So I snatched it up. I figured that even if I couldn’t do what I envisioned, I wasn’t out anything, so I’d give it a try. The results are so amazing I couldn’t have imagined it. When we had a wedding at our house this summer this little spot was the most popular place in the whole yard. You had to fight for a spot.

Outdoor Armchair

This chair I got at our local thrift store when they were having a 50% off sale, which means I got this chair for $5. With such low stakes, I couldn’t go too far wrong. The only expense to this project was the outdoor fabric, which I got at an end of season discount from Joann’s. So hey, maybe my lack of timeliness could work in your favor. Snatch up the fabric today and even if you’re skidding into fall you’ll be all set to give this project a go.

The tutorial really works best once you see it in action, so I didn’t even try and get action shots. Just watch me do my work in the video.

  1. production of the items. These elements are then welded or sometimes bolted togather in order to come up with the finished creation http://www.gardenarteu.com be it a patio chair or a garden table. whatever the designers have in mind. Owing to the fact that this type of frame is relatively lightweight, it may not be ideally suited for placement in areas that are prone to experiencing high winds or strom scenarios.

The joint fittings are always created from aluminum or stainless steel in order to guarantee that the structural integrity of the whole is never compromised through corrosion weakening.

  6. Great project. Now all you need is a little outdoor gym behind the sofa area. Smash out some HIIT workouts then relax on the sofa once you are done. Love the colours of the covers.

  9. Great colours. This sort of lounge covering is perfect for covering seating around a pool. The extra moisture and water that poolside furniture is exposed to can cause furniture to fade and break down quicker. An extra layer of protection will ensure your poolside furniture looks great for longer.

  10. Great project. Why buy a brand new sofa when you can just create a new cover to update the look? It would be like buying a new printer each time the ink cartridge came out!

    While this project must have taken some time and effort, the results are excellent.
