How To Replace Plastic Webbing On Patio Chairs And Tables At Home

Patio chairs and tables are a great way to relax and enjoy the outdoors. However, over time, the plastic webbing on these pieces of furniture can become damaged or faded. If this happens, you don't have to replace the entire chair or table. You can simply replace the webbing yourself. Here are the steps on how to do it:

Materials You'll Need:

New plastic webbing

Measuring tape

Scissors

Phillips head screwdriver

Drill

1/8-inch drill bit

Washers

Nuts

Socket wrench

Instructions:

1. Measure the length and width of the area where the webbing will be replaced. Cut the new webbing to the correct size.

2. Remove the old webbing by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. If the screws are rusted, you may need to use a drill to remove them.

3. Place the new webbing over the frame of the chair or table. Align the holes in the webbing with the holes in the frame.

4. Insert the screws through the holes in the webbing and into the frame. Tighten the screws until the webbing is secure.

5. If desired, you can add washers and nuts to the bolts to help prevent the webbing from coming loose.

6. Repeat steps 2-5 for all of the areas where the webbing needs to be replaced.

7. Once all of the webbing has been replaced, enjoy your newly refreshed patio furniture!

Tips:

When choosing new webbing, be sure to select a material that is UV resistant and mildew resistant.

If you are replacing the webbing on a chair, be sure to test the chair to make sure that it is sturdy before sitting in it.

If you are replacing the webbing on a table, be sure to test the table to make sure that it can support the weight of the items that you will be placing on it.
