Cushion Option
I keep looking at this and thinking how awesome it would be to have an affordable way to add seat cushions. I don't think the dimensions are exactly right, but it occurred to me that it is close enough to adapt to the size of a baby crib mattress. The benefit to that would be that most baby crib mattress come with a plastic or water repellant cover which would be lovely for patio use. I may try to adapt these plans to fit a crib mattress and report on the results.

Great Job!
I made on but changed it up just a little, but the basic plans didn't change much. I'll post on the brag wall.
