Webbing for Aluminum Lawn Chairs: A Step-by-Step Guide

When it comes to webbing your aluminum lawn chairs, there are several measurements and calculations you'll need to make to ensure a proper fit. In this article, we'll walk you through each step of the process, from measuring the vertical straps to weaving the final product.

The first measurement you'll need to take is for the vertical straps. Measure 4 inches beyond the center hole on the front of the top of the seat, down around the metal bar at the back of the seat, and up to the center hole on the top of the front of the seat. This will give you the length of the strap.

Next, measure the distance between the holes for the vertical straps with the chair folded. Add 4 inches to this measurement to calculate the length of the horizontal straps. For the straps that run from one side of the chair to the other, measure the distance between corresponding holes on either side of the top of the seat. Measure the distance between the holes in the frame of the chair as well.

To replace any missing strips, start by sticking another screw through the strip so it aligns with the hole in the frame. Wrap the end of the strip around the other side of the frame, making sure to go under the bar at the bottom (back) of the seat. Hold the other end of the strip into another point with the folds facing down.

When weaving vertical strips with the chair folded, remember to alternate between going over and under each strip. Wrap the strip of webbing around the frame and weave it over and under every other strip. Screw it into the hole on the bottom or back of the frame where a strip is missing, so the strip sticks out from the frame.

Finally, stick a screw through the center of this point to secure the strap in place. The end of the strap will be a 90-degree point, and you'll need to fold it down so it's perpendicular to the side of the webbing. Fold the end of the strip at a 45-degree angle as well, so that the top of the strip is touching the side of the strip.

By following these steps, you should be able to web your aluminum lawn chairs with ease. Remember to take your time and measure carefully to ensure a proper fit. With practice, you'll be a pro at webbing your lawn chairs in no time!
