These are the exact cushions I used. https://bit.ly/2yEvRBa https://bit.ly/3cC6VZW I also found these possible alternatives. https://amzn.to/2S06q46
  • Wood glue. Titebond 2 is what I used, but Titebond 3 would also be a good waterproof choice. https://amzn.to/2Kl3haM

The lumber only costs around $40. The approximate total cost is $250. There are a few optional addons and depending on the cushions you use can change the price.
