Reupholstering weight bench?

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

I've got a weight bench that I really like, adjusts to different angles, has a dip station,etc.

 

Problem is that my cats really took a liking to it to - as a scratching pad.  They've ripped the cheap vinyl fabric that covers it to shreds.  Little effers - $200 worth of cat tower with sisal rope scratching posts in the next room, and they decide to use the weight bench instead...

 

I want to get the pad on the bench reupholstered with something a lot more durable (maybe cordura?) and maybe some firmer foam padding as well. 

 

Any suggestions for a shop that can do this kind of work in the Easter Morris County/Morristown area?  It's a simple shape (long rectangle), and I'm not looking to spend multiple Benjamins on this.

u can prob do it yourself...foam padding, knife, whatever kind of covering and a staple gun.

If you are in the market for a new one My GF owns  www.rocksolidfitness.com   She generally has any number of styles of benches aside from everything else you could possibly want. prices are good. Shes GUN FRIENDLY :-)

As stated, you can do it yourself if you get a good staple gun and a trip to your local JoAnn Fabrics (foam and vinyl covering).  All that thing is is plywood with foam and vinyl stapled down.  You could do it yourself for $30 from scratch.

 

If you want something that will be heavier, commercial grade, bring the board to  AM Auto Trimmers (Rt 46 in Dover).  They re-covered an old garage stool my grandpa had with some left over leather from a car they were doing for a very reasonable price since I left it for a week.  Don't be a dick and pay by credit card/debit card.....cash....and explain up front this is for your weight bench, smile and be patient with them.  They will do you right!

Duct tape.

Armaflex insulation. It's black and can replace the foam and cloth

If you are local I'll give you a piece of armaflex

 

Yeah I've always used duct tape too

Armaflex looks interesting, but I'm wondering if it's just more shred bait for the cats.
