    Default Material for covering seat cushion

    I need to re-cover a seat cushion on my boat. Where in or around Middle River, MD can I get the material to cover the cushion? I don’t even know what material I am looking for. I guess it’s vinyl?

    I don’t think the actual covering will be difficult once I find the right material and re-fill my staple gun.

    Thanks,

    Jeremy

    Go to a local fabric store. I went to a Jo-Ann fabric store and they had several colors of marine vinyl

    I have also found that some fabric stores carry marine grade vinyl. You can use the non-marine grade but it will not hold up but a year or two and use SS staples.

    Not so sure you can still get it since vinyl tops are 'passe'.
    I redid the seats and side panels in a 19' T-bird years ago using the material for auto vinyl tops. It was 10 yo when I turned the boat over to my brother & family. Four or five years later he sold it with the material still serviceable.
    I would do it again if the material is still available.
