I have 6 outside chairs that are needing some care. I am replacing the cushions and noticed the seat frame fabric is also needing replaced. It looks to be a spandex that wraps around the frame that has rotted, but I have no where to find it, to replace it. Any suggestions?
Try https://www.bigduckcanvas.com/categories/aquaduck-outdoor-furniture-fabric.html. They have a variety of fabrics

Doubt they would use spandex as it deteriorates outside.... I would check on https://www.sailrite.com/outdoor-living the biggest suppliers of outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella.
You can also find outdoor fabrics on Fabric.com, https://www.fabric.com/home-decor-fabric-outdoor-fabric.aspx?fabric-type=canvas they also have Sunbrella and heavy duty nylon canvas
This mesh fabric is used on slingback chairs... https://www.fabric.com/home-decor-fabric-outdoor-fabric.aspx?fabric-type=mesh
Can't really see the fabric so you might take one of the backs to an upholstry show to see what it is.
Please a picture would be greatly appreciated
Sailrite.com sells fabric for this application. Look under outdoor living and sling chairs. They are great people to work with!
You could also maybe use vinyl or nylon straps to replace it, here's an idea of what it is: https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=vinyl+strapping+for+outdoor+furniture&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=190497261807&hvpos=1t2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6531535113148634418&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033130&hvtargid=kwd-297681851246&ref=pd_sl_5sd9xn1q3v_b
Once you replace your seat fabric, why not use shower fabric curtains, they are colorful, water repellent, mildew/mold resistant, and anti-bacterial and washable as seat cushions or pillows.
