I had several tall patio chairs that had good frames but the fabric was ripped. I had already replaced the fabric once and because these chairs are in the weather all year long I wanted something that would hold up better.

Materials:

• Boards for the seat (You can buy pre-cut boards the size of your choice or we cut pieces out of a 2×4)
• Self-Drilling Screws (They go thru the wood and then into the metal frame)
• Stain or paint
• Countersink drill bit

Instructions:

1. Remove the chair frame and the old fabric
2. Cut wood the width of the chair frame
3. Attach each piece of wood to the frame with the self-drilling screws (Countersink them at this time)
4. Use a piece of wood the size of the spacing you want between each piece of wood to make sure all the pieces are evenly spaced. Attach all the pieces.
5. Stain or pain the wood

I love how these turned out and the best part is I won’t have to worry about them for years.
