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.
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.
I 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.
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.
More time spent outdoors equals a better life.
Outdoor slipcovers is really cool. Great post anyways.
Great idea. The finished project looks great. http://www.fliphome.com.au/
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. Withal, it is rust-proof and very durable although its feel may not be as solid or sturdy as the cast or wrought aluminum type furnishings. 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.
Great design.
Looks like a great outdoor setting.

Outdoor furniture is exposed to intense environmental elements. It is essential that only the highest quality materials are used in the construction of any furniture that is going to be used in outdoor spaces.
Great work. Quality design that should last the test of time.
Looks like a great design. The elements can destroy anything left outside for too long, this seems like a great idea.
Looks like a great place for some long lazy Summer afternoons.
The pictures look like you have some very great sewing skills. Some high-quality embroidering there!
Excellent DIY project. Simple but looks like it was really well constructed.
That looks comfy enough to fall on.
Outdoor covers are made, the next project is the gutter cleaning.
Looks perfect for creating a comfortable backyard setting in Sydney.
Great mix of colours. It really makes an impact.

A lovely splash of colour. That will be sure to brighten up even the dullest day.

Great project. If you are after another project to save you some money, do some research on heat reflective paint. You can dramatically reduce the temperature of your home during long hot summers by reflecting the hot summer rays from your roof.
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.
Would love to attack that concrete in the background with our powerful pressure washing machinery. We could get that sparkling clean in no time! By the way, the covers look great. Colours are impressive.
Clean, green and comfortable. What a great outdoor project.

The covers look great. We would love to come around and prune some of those branches for you. but considering we are in Newcastle, NSW, I think it might be just a tad too far. Keep up the great work with documenting the DIY backyard projects.

It is amazing the impact that fresh colours can make.

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.
Awesome project, that looks like it could handle even the longest summer.
Those leaf patterns look amazing.
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.

Great work. It is amazing the restorations that can be done when you put your mind to it.
Would love to give those pavers a pressure clean đŸ™‚
There is something surprisingly satisfying about blasting off grease and grime from pavers. https://aussiehousewash.com.au
Looks like there is some space up there for some solar panels!
More than just outdoor proof, this looks like it is ice cream proof!
Great estimates on the amount of fabric needed for the project.
Looks like the perfect place to install a solar power system on that roof.
Love this project. There is so much value in resuing, recycling and properly disposing of household items.
