[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 502464, member: 24594"] To be honest, I haven't really finalized the attachment ideas yet. The gray cushions in the pic are pre-made from Oceansouth, USA. They have a netted backing with grommets. I suppose I'll use a webbing and buckle system to thread through the grommets and around the entire bench. On other boats not using the pre-made cushions, I do a cardboard template to plywood dealio. Then just wrapping closed cell foam from the interwebs in a length of marine vinyl and stapling the backs. One project done this way, a Texas Maid, had the seat backs visible through the aluminum frames, so I had to cut a "picture frame" of nicer sticks to cover the staples. Most I have done with this layered style, I have simply wedged in place. I like to be able to remove them and they're heavy enough to not blow out. Meanwhile, I just lifted this pic from a Flying D on facebook marketplace. The seatbacks look conspicuously similar to yours in size. [ATTACH type="full"]116170[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
