Chair Webbing
It used to be lawn chairs all had plastic chair webbing. While those are still out there, there are a lot more choices these days.
Many of the seats have heavy plastic strapping. Both the straps and the webbing can be replaced or you can try something a little different. How about purchasing outdoor nylon cording and weave it across the back and seat of the chair. You can also use the old macramé techniques to knot your way to a new back or seat. These are actually stronger and will last longer than the webbing. You can create a fringe or add beading with these techniques. You can still add the cushion on top for comfort..
Another type of webbing is jute webbing.This is used on most older upholstered furniture. It is used to provide support for the upholstery materials. A good jute webbing can easily hold 400 to 500lbs. The 11lb red stripe jute webbing is generally used in the seats as it is stronger, and the 9lb black stripe is used for backs. Jute webbing is 3 1/2in wide and available by the yard or 72yd rolls.Rubber webbing is a great alternative to springs in many types of furniture, mainly those that have a flat surface (i.e. Morris chairs, Mission-style chairs, dining chairs, rattan furniture, lounge chairs, etc.) When stretched across the frame and secured with special clips, the surface gives an extremely durable, solid foundation that is very comfortable, with just the right amount of bounce and give. Not all strapping is made of the same quality. Strapping made by Pirelli, is the company reknown thoughout the world for their high-quality products.
