lounge chair
I have a lounge chair that has the rubber straps across it instead of the
nylon webbing. The rubber has started to dry rot and I need to re-do the straps. Has anyone done this before and if so, can you tell me where I can get the materials I need? Any tips on repairing this chair would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom in SC |

In article ,
says... You are correct, I assume it would be plastic strips that run from one side to the other rather than rubber. The chair would be in the sun, but not continous, just when it was in use. I know it would make since to get another chair, but this was my moms and I would like to get it fixed and use it. Thanks for your reply, Tom Okay. Now that we've cleared up that, here is a web site if you live in the USA: http://www.chaircarepatio.com/v_strap.html If you live elsewhere, then do a GOOGLE search on the words "vinyl strap" or "vinyl web" and you might find a local supplier. |

Hi Tom
I had an old vinyl weaved lawn chair that the frau did not want regular lawn chair strap put on. What I did was buy a heavy vinyl aisle runner (hallway mat) and slit it into equivalent width pieces. It held up for about 5 seasons of use. The next go around, I used some commercial awning canvas from a store that was replacing their tan awning with a bright maroon. I also cut this into strips but slightly over twice the width, seamed the edge on a sewing machine using monofilament then turned it inside out placing the seam on the underside dead center of the now flat straps. It is still holding up just fine and shows almost no signs of wear after at least 4 years since I did this. TTUL Gary |
