The way to allow for this expansion is to install the corner post down from the soffit or top of the corner. Step 2 set up the cut.

Make a diagonal cut in the corner of the fabric toward an inside corner of the cushion stopping about 1 inch from the cushion.

Step 2 make two diagonal cuts 1 2 inch long from the first cut to finish the y cut in the fabric.
