Where to Buy Lawn Chair Webbing

Frugal Vermonters hate to throw away good products. So when their folding chairs need lawn chair webbing, where do you turn. I searched high and low for the 2¼" webbing used on older lawn furniture.

That little re-webbing kit once so common in hardware stores is now rarer than outhouses in Muskoka. After a fruitless search through the websites of possible sources – Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Wal-Mart, Home Depot – and then several phone calls to their head offices I found none.

UPDATE - I found some of this hard to find webbing at

Susan Reno, owner of Outdoor Chair Care in California, doesn’t know much about cottaging in Canada’s north country, but she does know a thing or two about keeping good serviceable lawn furniture going and sells the replacement parts for hundreds of models and styles from her website. But even she doesn’t carry the sought-after re-webbing kit. “Most people just throw those chairs out,” she says sadly.

To know how much you need to purchase take a measuring tape (or a length of twine you can measure later), measure the length of the strap you'll need. The tape or twine will need to go over the hole or slot in the frame, around the frame, over to the other side, and then around the frame again to cover the opposite hole or slot. Then multiply this length by how many straps you will need.If you need strapping for more chairs just multiply this figure by the amount of chairs you have.This seller sells the webbing in rolls of one hundred feet
