In this video we’ll show you how to make the Sailrite® Lifeline Cushion Kit (SKU: 126672). Lifeline cushions are a great addition to any location where the lifelines may be used as a backrest; they provide added comfort and support. In addition to the kit, you will need PVC pipe and pool noodles (sold separately) to make this project the same way we do. The PVC core acts as a barrier that prevents the bare lifeline from cutting into the foam noodle, while the Sattler® Fabric protects the foam from UV rays. Our lifeline cushion kit includes the fabric, hook and loop, basting tape, and thread needed to make three lifeline covers with a maximum length of 54” and a maximum pool noodle diameter of 2.75”.
