Picnic table cover and seat covers

While we were in FL and had some sunshade end panels made, we bought some plaid sunshade material to make a cover for picnic tables & benches. Added grommets so we can use the elastic straps with balls to hold them. Don't have a picture of them on a table, but they work fine and don't blow around and clean very easily. Paid $12 for an 8' length of the material. Should last for years.

Lazy being the operative here.

TOWTA likes it because it is easy to clean and doesn't blow around plus (big plus) I have to put it on, take it off and stow it.

Another BIG + is it was CHEAP!

I have little girls who get squicked out by putting their tush on dirty/buggy picnic table seats. Well... I do, too. That's a great solution.

We have some that we bought at the RV show years ago. they are fitted for larger tables, we just fold over what we don`t need. they work great!

Although I still like yours because you made them yourself, nothing like making things you can show off!
