I've used silicon to attach iron on denim patch. Two knee size patches at Wally world for a buck

I bought camo fabric at the fabric store and re-covered the entire seat. Put plastic under the fabric (garbage bag) and it will stop the foam cushion from getting wet. I covered my stand like this . Completely re-did the bottom wood and replaced the bolts that held it on . Used a plastic cutting board as the foundation drilled the holes then inserted the bolts. Didn't use a plastic bag tho as I been told it will rot faster as the foam will get wet but can't dry be cause of the plastic. After covering it I then treated the seat with tent seal to water proof it. I just reapply it when I take them down in late December. Good to go every year.

A foam pad carried in and carried out this ^ That is what I had to do.Those gardener kneeling pads work well.Squirrels are bad but bear cubs can be much worse.If you have any nylon straps on the stand,check those every time or replace with chain.

Once the squirrels chew up the foam, I sit on metal. Not much difference in comfort. Probably cause I got a big butt!
Cold as ice!

I used conveyor belt to replace a couple rotted/chewed fabric seats. Finally, I got my hands on a conveyor belt. $1 at an auction the other day
