The benches got a layer of fiberglass on the bottom of them to make them a bit stronger. 
They then got pool noodles tied to the bottom of them using 550 cord and bicycle innertubes.
They were brought upstairs the attic and given two coats of oil based white paint.
You can barely see the pool noodles underneath.
FINAL PRODUCT: three nice looking white benches. The original benches were black and there were a lot of complaints about them on the internet. The black would get hot in the summer sun and burn skin, so I think kthe white paint looks good. If it stays dry weather, I may slap another coat on. I like that the pool noodle flotation is barely noticeable.
