Well...thanks Lili...always a pleasure... Jon.. A DIY Pro.. I'll go visit.. Becky...well thanks..
the foam is your standard building foam like @ homedepot.. and Lowes.. it's the 2" foam here..for insulation.. but I also use the 1 1/2" and 1" for things also.. the 2" has great rigidity and strength and provides lots of surface area for connections..
I've got another couch base for inside planned.. I made a king size thermopedic bed into a queen sized bed for a client.. that was moving... and didn't want to spend another two grand for his favorite bed in a queen size..which was the biggest he could use in the new place... I took the cutoff.. about an 18" x 80" hunk of the highend foam about 14" thick.. I'll work this into something.. outside I'm sure it would hold enough water to always stay wet.. outside that might be a cooling seat for someone without a pool..like a sponge chair..
OH Jon.. my cutting tool of choice... for the rigid foam.. as well as the thermopedic soft mattress foam is the standard old Japanese style pull saw..
