frankenchair

The webbing on a couple of our lawn chairs has deteriorated, so I “fixed” one of them today. I had found a Kwik-Kover replacement at a garage sale and decided that would be much easier than unscrewing and rescrewing a million screws that hold the webbing (though I did have to unscrew and rescrew them all to get the old webbing off. Doh). It’s one big piece of plastic stuff that you lace up like a corset! Unfortunately, it didn’t seem very sturdy, and I think it would be highly unpleasant to be sitting outside sipping a lemonade only to fall through the chair and smash your butt on the concrete patio. SO, I took some of the replacement webbing that came with the chair (also purchased at a yard sale) and put in some reinforcement webbing. It doesn’t look very pretty, but hopefully it will prevent any unfortunate accidents:

I’m going to go eat some cookies now. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
