Dusti B on Mar 21, 2014Well, if it is an A frame, maybe build a wooden swing or buy one to attach it? Is there a way to attach a plywood seat and add a cushion? I'm trying to think no sew simple...Helpful Reply

Dusti B on Mar 21, 2014I repurposed daughters old swing set A frame into a trellis over a raised bed. I've thought of adding plastic for a green house but haven't gotten around to it yet...Helpful Reply

Dusti B on Mar 21, 2014There's fabric glue and iron stuff for adhesives. Check out YouTube maybe or pintrest? Do a Google search.Helpful Reply

Pam Giles on Mar 22, 2014I recover my outdoor cushions every few years using FABRIC SHOWER CURTAINS. You can find many colorful patterns and get lots of yardage inexpensively. If you have lots of cushions, buy two sets. I sew mine, but you could probably try iron-on seam tape.Helpful Reply

Lesley on Mar 22, 2014Good idea, Pam, but this is just a fabric seat, no cushions. I'm afraid of the iron seam tape for something outdoors and holding some considerable weight if the grandchildren get on it. Have you had success with it?Helpful Reply

Patty on Mar 24, 2014Check for color fastness, but what I use is a strong Oxyclean solution let it sit 15-30 min. then rinse with the waterhose, if it is real bad it may need 2-3 applications. This works for me.Helpful Reply
