Have any ideas on what to do with old 'webbed' lawn chairs?

Question

These were purchased in the 80's.  They are folding aluminum chairs (regular & chaise lounge).

Douglas Hunt · Answer

You can fairly easily re-web them, Dyanne, and they will be as good as new. There are kits for it that are quite inexpensive. If they don't appeal to you these days, I can assure you there is a whole retro crowd out there that will like them, so you could sell them on Craigslist or eBay.

I had a client who had some that had some minor damage....I dissected the rope type webbing and cut them up for recylcing

Ditto @Douglas Hunt Even if you don't care for the webbing look they are a great base for adding cushions to, though my MIL used a soft nylon rope/yarn to re weave theirs some years ago. Here's a couple ideas. http://www.deucecitieshenhouse.com/2012/06/macrame-chairs.html http://furnishmevintage.com/livingroom/4-retro-macrame-aluminum-lawn-chairs/

Thanks for the feed back. I think I will try the 'nylon rope yarn' idea.

@Dyanne, please remember to come back and share before and after pictures.
