Rather than throwing away a lounge chair whose fabric has torn, it is easy to repair it.
Rather than throwing away a lounge chair whose fabric has torn, it is easy to repair it.
First of all rid the frame of the remnants of the torn fabric. It is necessary to remove the staples holding the fabric on the uprights. Help yourself with this with a thin screwdriver or a small knife. Sand the wood of the deck chair - if you don't have a sander you can use a stainless steel pad, cleaning as you go with a damp sponge
Then measure the yardage of fabric you will need. To do this, place the folded chair on the ground and measure the distance L between the two attachment bars. Add 15 cm Then measure the width D of the fabric - Add 10 cm
Cut a rectangle of sturdy canvas to the right dimensions. you will easily find fabric scraps of sufficient size in stores that make curtains Hem it on the four sides. You can sew it by hand, by machine, or even use an iron-on strip Attach the fabric to the frame by using (enough) stapples - you'll need at least 10 stapples on each end
Tuck the edges under the fabric and secure with additional staples
You are done
