How to Restore a Patio Chaise Lounger

The next time that the webbing on your chaise lounger is either torn or sagging, don't throw it away, take some time to fix it.  By putting new webbing on your old chair and cleaning up its frame you can give it several more years of life.  This really is all it takes to have a patio chair that is like new once again.

1. Get a screwdriver, adjustable wrench, tape measure, utility knife and some new webbing, which can be found in the garden department of your local home improvement store.


2. Use your screwdriver and wrench to remove the nuts and screws that are holding the horizontal webbing on your chair.


3. Unfold the ends of one of the ends of the webbing off your lawn chair.  Use a tape measure to measure it from end to end.


4. Count how many horizontal strips of webbing there are after you have removed them all. 


5. Cut the number of strips you need in the lengths required.  Cut out this many strips for your lawn chair.


6. Fold the end of the strip of webbing over as  it was whenever you removed it (i.e. square, triangular).  


7. Put a hole through the webbing with a utility knife.  Insert the screw through this part of your webbing.  Place this on the outer side of your lounge chair.  Put the nut on the backside of your screw.  Use the wrench to tighten it into place.


8. Fold the other side of the webbing in the same fashion.  Pull it across to the other side of your chair.  Mark where the screw hole needs to go.  Use your utility knife to create this hole.  Attach the webbing to the chair with your screw and nut just as you did on the first side.


9. Attach all of the horizontal pieces of webbing on your chair.


10. Take the vertical strips of webbing off your chair's frame.  Each strip will be woven through the horizontal strips.  Once you have removed it, use your tape measure to determine its length.


11. Count how many vertical strips of webbing you will need.  Cut this many strips of webbing out at the right length.


12. Weave each strip of webbing through the horizontal strips so that the ends are sticking out - one at the top and one at the foot of the chair.


13. Attach the vertical strips in the same way as you just attached the horizontal strips.
