I'm not sure if this is the right part of the forum or not. I have four patio chairs upholstered of "plastic wicker" which is coming apart at the edges. Unfortunately the sides are woven right around the frame of the chair. I wish the centers were just square like placemats and I could just replace the looping around the frame, but it won't be that easy :wall: There are no holes at all in the frames, and they're not aluminum. Does anyone have any ideas?

Your best bet will probably be a shop that does chair recaneing and reweaving. They probably won't have the vinyl product, but should be able to get it.

my shop does caning and my advice is to buy new furniture.
