Erika, Kailuageoff and Tikibars,
The side fabric is black canvas. I had wanted to use barkcloth, but, I didn't find any . The canvas worked well, it's cheap, strong and looks right. I made the piping as well. It took 10 yards of black canvas to do 8 cushions with piping and zippers. The zippers are in the back and I used big, black plastic ones. James in a perfect world the cushions would start out in the perfect shape. If the foam comes out a little funy you can stuff the cusions with a variety of material for a smoother look.
Mahalo,
