How To Recover Metal Patio Chairs

How to Recover Metal Patio Chairs

Metal patio chairs are a popular choice for outdoor seating because they are durable and easy to maintain. However, over time, the fabric on metal patio chairs can become faded, torn, or stained. If you want to give your metal patio chairs a new look, you can recover them with new fabric.

Recovering metal patio chairs is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours. Here are the steps on how to do it:

What You'll Need:

New fabric
Scissors
Measuring tape
Staple gun
Staples

Instructions:

Remove the old fabric. Using a staple remover, carefully remove the old fabric from the metal patio chairs. Be sure to remove all of the staples.
Measure and cut the new fabric. Measure the length and width of the metal patio chair seat. Cut a piece of new fabric that is twice the length and width of the seat. This will allow you to wrap the fabric around the seat and staple it in place.
Wrap the fabric around the seat. Place the new fabric over the metal patio chair seat. Wrap the fabric around the seat and pull it taut. Staple the fabric in place along the edges of the seat.
Trim the excess fabric. Once the fabric is stapled in place, trim any excess fabric around the edges of the seat.
Repeat for the back of the chair. If the metal patio chair has a back, repeat steps 2-4 to recover the back of the chair.

Once you have recovered the metal patio chairs, they will look brand new. You can enjoy your new outdoor seating for years to come.

Tips:

When choosing new fabric for your metal patio chairs, be sure to choose a fabric that is durable and weather-resistant.
If you are not sure how to staple the fabric in place, you can use a staple gun. Staple guns are available at most hardware stores.
Once you have recovered your metal patio chairs, you can protect them from the elements by covering them with a tarp or storing them in a garage or shed.
