outdoor boxed cushions

[gene]

Hello,

I am looking at making boxed cushions for a bench 30 feet and a bench 9 feet. The 30 foot bench will have several boxed cushions and not one long cushion.

They will be in the outside part of the owners' box at the MLB stadium. They want to leave them outdoors during the season.

What fabric, foam, poly batting would you use?

There's a lot of discussion about Sattler, Racocril, Tempotest, Sunbrella Marine. A lot of it is for covers, etc.

My concern is that they will be staying outdoors all season long.

Thank you,

Gene

I'm sure these are all great products but I don't think there is such thing as maintenance free fabric. The rep at Sunbrella told us dirt will get on the fabric and when this happens mold will form. It will not be an easy task cleaning the cushions in a stadium. I think they would be okay outside for the baseball season but after that bring them inside.

I have three sets of outdoor Sumbrella fabric cushions in my yard.  An off white color - over 20 years old and still look as good as the day I bought them.
I'm thinking the lighter the color the better it looks after a long period of time.
