How to Reupholster a Bench Cushion

Introduzione

This guide will show you how to reupholster the fabric on a bench cushion. Whether your bench is dirty or just out of date, this guide will help bring your bench back to looking new.

Before using this guide, check to see if the base is screwed onto the frame of the bench. If this is the case, you will need a screwdriver to remove the screws. This guide demonstrates a bench base that is not screwed onto the frame.

Also, if working outdoors, lay a layer of protection on the ground to keep the new fabric from getting dirty. I used an 8ft x 8ft sheet of material.

Step 6 requires stapling the fabric onto the base with a staple gun. Step 5 shows how to remove the lock and how to insert new staples.

Before starting the guide, make sure to gather your tools and materials beforehand, as your bench may be different and need additional tools.
