They wouldn't need to be "very" custom. Basically just a "bag" shape with a shock cord or pull cord in the hem. Sunbrella material would be a perfect choice.

I originally though you were looking for seat covers that you can sit on and use, The answers so far talk about what I would call storage covers. What are you looking for?

I f something that can be sat on, a semi custom bag should be much less expensive than custom made cushions.

just looking for something to put on them to protect them from the sun when not in use. the height of the seat may be an issue , was wondering if anyone purchased some inexpensive decent ones that fit well

X2 on coversandall. Really can't beat the price for the customization you get.

not going to beat that.... one trick is to wrap the cushions with dacron batting. can do one or two layers to get extra plump cushions that really fill out the covers. if the cushions are a bit flat, Amazon sells nice foam (Go To Foam was the manufacturer). Finally there is a thin clear plastic that you can wrap over the cusions to make it easier to get them into the covers if needed. i forget the name of the stuff, will do a search.
