Weatherproofing your patio furniture is possible without throwing out big bills.
Here’s how to give your existing mesh chairs a new look.
Channel a vintage feel in youroutdoor spaceby crafting woven seats and seat backs for your patio chairs.
Useweather-resistantpolypropylene webbing for the best defense against nature.
Unify mismatched chairs with the same colorpaintand webbing pattern.
Multiply that number by the horizontal circumference to determine how much webbing in inches the horizontal layers will require.
Repeat the process vertically around both the seat back and front-to-back around the seat.
Add the horizontal and vertical totals plus 10 percent to determine the total amount needed.
Let sit for 24 hours until adhesive has fully cured.
Step 6
For a pop of teal, wrap the tape measure to determine the amount needed.
First overlap the ends about 12 inch, then push the awl needle through both layers of webbing.
Push the needle through the webbing again to create a zigzag stitch.
Push the tail through the loop that formed between the awl’s thread and the needle.
Step 8
Pull the needle back out of the webbing to finish the stitch.
Continue making zigzag stitches across the width of the webbing.
Step 9
Tie a square knot to finish combining the webbings.
Double-knot for extra security.
Then continue wrapping until the chair seat is covered.
Begin weaving up the front of the chair, alternating under and over the horizontal layers.
Add a vertical pop of teal by repeating Steps 59.
Thenpull up a seatand relax in your completed project!
