In this case, our two zero gravity lounge chairs have moved with us from Minnesota to Oregon to Georgia. That’s a lot of miles, baby! I’d guess that makes them 8 or 9 years old. While we do store our outdoor furniture indoors during the winter, 8 summers is still a long time to be exposed to the elements. And let’s face it, aging gracefully is hard to do. When you start to sag, sometimes your only option is to do a little nip, a little tuck… We’re still talking about chairs, right? When we pulled the chairs out this summer, we found the cord holding the seat to the frame was rotten and broken in places. For awhile the chair would hold our 4 year old, but that didn’t last long. We considered replacing the chairs. The actual replacement for this particular chair Travel Chair Lounge Lizard

was pretty pricey at $169.99. Clearly, it is a good brand though because they have lasted a long time.

Anyway, we started by cutting off all of the old cord with scissors. It always looks worse before it gets better. Then The Hubby started threading the cord through the holes, starting at the bottom and working his way to the top. styling chairs for sale canadaIt really wasn’t as hard as he’s making it look here.dining room chairs jackson mi When the cord was pulled all the way to the top, he secured it with a knot. dining room chair recovering costFrom the knot, he started pulling it tight, working his way back down to the starting point at the bottom of the chair.bloom high chair user guide

Once the cord was pulled tight and the tension looked even with the other side, he cut the cord and secured it with another knot. Then we sat back (literally) and enjoyed our handiwork and some big time savings. It’s been a few weeks and the chairs are still holding strong! It’s the small things that make me happy. Now, if someone would do something about the stain on the deck… Moral of this story, if you find any of these zero gravity chairs for cheap at a garage sale or on Craigslist, it is worth fixing them up!

Measure the length and width of the chair seat, and add 2 inches. Cut enough strips of each size to weave your seat. Lay strips across seat from front to back, leaving 1 inch on both sides; fold ends under 1/2 inch, and secure with a staple gun; use a rubber mallet to cover staples with upholstery nail heads as you go. Place strips over these from side to side; staple and finish one of the sides. Weave the loose ends of the strips across the seat. One at a time, tug strips until taut and fasten.
