We made covers for now but next winter we are going to make some new ones . We are going to add an extra inch of foam for comfort . There are several good books out there on doing your own sewing sail stuff and I've found out that its not too hard . What materal you use is another matter though . We are thinking of using sunbrella type . Good luck , and have fun with it . I'm not too fond of the standard of the plaid stuff they came with . We also have a furnature refinsher friend of ours who will do the settees for about $120 ea but the choise of materal is limited . I think you could find a person to do it for less if you look around .
