Patio Chair Webbing Replacement. Easy How To Guide!

Patio chair webbing will naturally fade and get damaged over time, with use, exposure to the elements, and exposure to the sun. You could always throw your pieces away and buy new ones, but does that make sense? Replacing the webbing on your existing patio chairs is often much cheaper than purchasing a whole new chair, and it is surprisingly easy. In this article, we have produced a quick guide to patio chair webbing replacement, and we look at several options for patio webbing materials and colors.

Replacing your furniture webbing is an easy, fun task you can accomplish in about an hour per chair. You can make all of your chairs match with a similar fabric, or go wild with multi colors.

Use your imagination and don’t be afraid to be daring!

Patio Chair Webbing Replacement How-To

For Polypropylene or Nylon webbed chairs, follow these steps to spruce up your chairs. It’s best to do one strand at a time so that you keep the pattern.

  1. Unscrew the fastener of your existing webbing, or pry it out with pliers.
  2. Remove the existing webbing, being sure to get any random strands out.
  3. Lay the existing webbing down on the floor or on a craft table, and use it as a guide to cut a new piece of webbing. If the old webbing is in really bad shape, take a new strip of webbing and weave it into place on the chair (over and under), leaving at least two inches of extra fabric on each end. Cut the new piece.
  4. Place the new piece of polypropylene webbing on one end of the chair, and weave it through to the other side.
  5. Place end clips onto each side of the chair webbing. If you’re not using clips, fold the ends over in a triangle shape, and punch a hole through so that a screw can be inserted.
  6. Screw the clip into the chair with a new fastener.
  7. Repeat until you’re done the chair.

What You’ll Need

You’ll need a flat head screwdriver and an Exacto knife or good scissors, and the following items:

Patio Chair Webbing Replacement Screws

Use these screws to attach the lawn chair replacement webbing to your furniture tube. These screws are a must, and should fit any tubular aluminum patio furniture frame.

Each package contains 20 screws, and for most chair models, you’ll need one screw per strap end.

Count the number of straps, vertical and horizontal, and multiply by two to determine the total number of screws you’ll need per chair.

If you don’t plan on using webbing replacement clips, use a washer to help take the load off of the screws, and to slow down the fraying process.

Replacement Webbing for Lawn Chairs: Clips

The cleanest way to secure your webbing ends and prevent them from fraying over time is to use patio furniture webbing replacement clips. Each package includes 12 clips.

For each strip, vertical and horizontal, you’ll need two clips. Count the number of strands on your chair and multiply by two.

These clips fit all tubular lawn chairs with slots, and are rust and fade resistant.

That said, these are a little bit difficult to use, and many people may prefer to simply skip the clips. The patio furniture webbing may fray more quickly if you don’t use clips but the changing process is easier.

Lastly, the fun part. The patio chair webbing material!

There are several different color options available, and we have highlighted a few here. In general, a single patio chair will use around 33 feet of fabric, though individual chairs will vary in size. Have fun and experiment.

    It’s funny changing your old chair’s webbing. I tried with my 2 pieces of old lawn chairs just for fun but I loved them at the end. I mixed several colors and styles of the webbing and the chairs look colorful and funny. I had to try and wasted 3 pieces of webbing before it can be done because I didn’t check the length carefully. So be patient, you better do it slowly and measure the length properly before you cut the webbing and make the holes to put the clips in.

    Tan material from Webbing Pro lasted only one season before breaking down. Apparently not fade or UV resistant. Where is a source for better webbing that won’t break the bank?

      Oh no only one season? That is terrible. What part of the country do you live in and did you leave it out uncovered during the winter?

    Have you ever re-webbed a chair with the opposite method of securing the strips than it originally had? Like if it initially had screws, can you replace with clips? Or are the holes going to be fastener specific?
