Choosing a Replacement
You'll want to request sling samples before placing an order to ensure the correct color and fabric choice.
Computer screens can be deceiving, so it's essential to see the actual fabric before making a decision.
If you're unsure about the brand and model of your outdoor chair, you can email a picture to confirm the measurement and model.
To get the right fit, measure your furniture according to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
Removing the old slings and measuring them won't give you accurate measurements, as they stretch over time.
Here's a quick reference guide to help you choose the right replacement:
The quality of the sling is also important to consider. Look for a single layer model that's made to stretch and hold weight over time.
A new sling will be very tight, so be prepared to install it when you receive it and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
The processing time for new slings is typically 20 business days, plus the delivery time of your selected carrier.
Keep in mind that once you receive your old slings back, the manufacturer is not responsible for shipping them back to you.
Make sure to review the return policies before making a purchase to avoid any confusion.

Replacing Your Sling Chair
Replacing the slings on your sling chair is a relatively simple process that can be done with a few tools and some basic knowledge. You don't need to be a home repair expert to do it.

Before you start, it's essential to measure your furniture accurately to ensure the new slings fit properly. Please note that removing the old slings from your furniture and measuring them won't provide accurate measurements as slings stretch over time!
To get accurate measurements, you'll need to measure the actual chair, chaise, or ottoman, and follow our guidelines for measuring slings. This will ensure that we make the slings the proper size.
You'll also need to choose your new sling fabric from our wide variety of options, which include solid colors, florals, and modern patterns. We'll cut the fabric according to your specifications and include 2 plastic sling rods or spines that you'll insert into the left and right sides of the replacement slings.
Here's a list of tools you'll need to install your new sling:
- Scissors or a box cutter
- Tools to help with installation (listed in the instructions provided)
When installing your new sling, make sure to pull it taut to ensure that it lasts well into the future. A new sling will be very tight, which is because the fabric was made to stretch close to 1.5" and to be able to hold weight for a long period of time without getting saggy quickly.

Ordering and Preparing
To start replacing your outdoor chair seat, you'll need to order a replacement kit. You don't have to be a home repair expert to do it, just have some spare time and a few tools.
Measure your furniture carefully according to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer. Removing the old slings and measuring them won't give you accurate measurements, as they tend to stretch over time.
Choose your new sling fabric from the variety of options available, which include solid colors, florals, and modern patterns.
Fill out the form and follow the instructions for taking the correct sling measurements. This will ensure the new slings fit properly.
The replacement slings will be sewn with a double hem on four sides using Gore Tenara thread, a premium thread that resists degradation from sun, rain, snow, salt, and cleaning chemicals.
Your kit will include two plastic sling rods or spines that you'll need to insert into the left and right sides of the replacement slings.
Installation
Installing a replacement sling for your outdoor chair seat is a relatively simple process, but it does require some care to ensure it lasts well into the future.

First, you'll need to remove the old, damaged sling by slicing through the middle with scissors or a box cutter and then pulling it from the left and right sides of the frame through the sling rails.
To properly install a replacement sling, it's essential to pull it taut to prevent sagging over time.
The new sling will be very tight, which is normal due to the fabric being made to stretch up to 1.5 inches to hold weight without sagging quickly.
You'll need to insert the plastic splines (rods) into the left and right sides of the replacement slings, which are included in the replacement kit.
Here are some general tips for installing a replacement sling:
- Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the replacement kit.
- Use the correct tools, such as scissors or a box cutter, to remove the old sling.
- Pull the new sling taut to ensure it lasts well into the future.
