Are you wondering if there are certain types of patio chair replacement slings we do not manufacture? The answer is yes! While we specialize in custom patio slings, there are specific chair styles that we do not make slings for due to their complex design and difficult installation process. While the majority of replacement slings can be installed by the customer, there are a few that we strongly recommend you NOT try to install. Some chairs and chaise lounges have welded stabilizer bars at the back of the frame that give the chair back strength. The stabilizer bar can not be removed making the installation and correct fit of the sling very difficult. We highly recommend that you not attempt this type of installation at home. As noted in our return policy during the checkout process, replacement slings are non returnable and non refundable due to the inability to install. Please inspect your chair or chaise to determine if it has a welded stabilizer bar or a removable one BEFORE your order.Before ordering replacement patio slings, please review the information below to ensure your chair or chaise lounge is suitable for a DIY installation.
1. Chairs with Horizontal Spline (Curved Top & Tapered Bottom Seats)
We do not manufacture slings for patio chairs where the spline runs horizontally instead of vertically. These chairs often feature:Many of these chairs were originally sold at big-box retailers, and replacing them is often more cost-effective than attempting to repair them. Sending an old sling as a pattern will not work due to inconsistent sizing. Our advice: Do not invest your time or money into repairing this style of chair.
2. Patio Chairs with Welded Stabilizer Bars at the Back of the Frame
Chaise Lounges that have a welded stabilizer bar
Some patio chairs and chaise lounges feature welded stabilizer bars at the back of the frame for added strength. If the bar cannot be removed, installing a new sling is extremely difficult.
Important:
Our measuring formula will not work for this chair style.
These slings require professional installation.
Slings are non-returnable and non-refundable, as outlined in our return policy.
How to check your chair: Before placing an order, inspect your chair or chaise to determine if it has a removable or welded stabilizer bar. If welded, we highly recommend contacting us before purchasing.
