How to makeover these patio chairs?
+9
I have a set of patio chairs that have woven plastic backs and seats. They have been ruined from sitting out in the weather. I need some ideas for replacing the backs and seats. The frames are still good so I would really like to save them. Thanks.

I personally don't know, however I can tell you if you replace them with plastic you must paint the plastic , to protect against the ultra violet rays of the sun, some plastic chairs may state they have U V protection, I wouldn,t take a chance, does,t matter what kind or color of paint. steve

I think that I'd consider maybe two options. One would be to use lots of twine or rope to wrap the seat, taking the place of the plastic seating. Another would be to do the first option, but add covered cushions.

Macrame would be cool! Be careful choosing the rope so it isn't itchy. Cotton clothesline perhaps?

Choosing rope may not be the solution with weather though.

Are the chairs really worth the time repairing ?The chair(s) look like they have metal frame. The difficulty is securing material used to replace the plastic weave. How about trying an authentic rope fish net or hammock , not the decorative type. Getting it tight enough to sit on is a problem. Another is if you can find nylon strapping at a marine supply that is UV protected, then use that to weave a new seat and back. It may be quite expensive and time consuming but should last a long time.

I would use treated wood for the bottoms , then paint to match or compliment the chair frame. (The woven backs looked good on the ones shown.) If all else fails, cover the bottoms with chicken wire and use as planters.:)

How about using the replacement webbing for old out door alumuminun chairs? or repurpose and old water hose. Wrap it around the frame then weave it until u have a new back and seat
