Patio chair was getting a little worn. Herringbone weave with 1” flat reed. (Undecided on the back, though I’ll probably do that too)

Nice. We have those same chairs. They’ve held up great under the entryway porch for 10 years.

Yeah, these were a gift from my sister-in-law a few years back. Admittedly, they’ve been left out in the the summer sun, the rain, and snow, so it’s no surprise the mesh fell apart.

Looks great. How do you secure the weave? I don’t see any tacks.

Friction holds the weave together, you weave the reeds when they’re wet so when it dries everything tightens up. It’s also woven on the bottom as well.

Could you make a tutorial video pls, mind are worn out too and i love to try what you make, would really appreciate

I actually watched a video myself (that makes me an expert right?) https://vimeo.com/57490096
Edit: here’s a link to the reed as well. Commonwealth Basket 25.4mm Flat Reed, 75-Feet
For that seat it took 1 of those plus an extra strip.

If the backs like the bottom.. why not?

That’s what I was thinking, plus I like things to match. The back is the same pvc like mesh. But it’s not falling apart yet.

Please can you film a tutorial? I would love to learn how to do this

It’s surprisingly easy, just a matter of patience. https://vimeo.com/57490096

It looks so nice! Is it flexible or not? Are you going to put some kind of oil or stain on it?
It does have a little flex, but still nice and sturdy. I am trying to decide on finishing, thought about stain or oil, just not sure. Any recommendations?
