  1. Another sling chair restoration complete. This is the sixth I have done, but still learning/relearning lessons.

    Lessons:
    1. Sew the sling slightly smaller than the original (did that this time!) The sling will stretch with use.
    2. Reassemble on cardboard or a soft surface to avoid dinging paint (failed! Forgot.)
    3. Use tougher paint or clearcoat. (Camo paint is not robust, forgot it comes off easily. Ah well, it was free paint)
    4. Need a fuller/full can of spraypaint. Ran out of paint cans twice, cans were only a bit over half full each.
    5. Put end caps on before assembling chair (forgot, had to unscrew, put end caps in, reassemble a second time)

  2. My < 2 year old patio furniture has already given out, consequences of trying to save money by buying online and not covering them. It’s the cheap rattan-like plastic.

    I would love some suggestions on options or research to cover these. I’m not sure if options exist or if I need to have some made. They’re fine structurally so it seems like a waste to replace. #PatioFurniture

  3. Patio furniture covers for winter cost almost as much as the patio furniture itself. My wife had the brilliant idea of just getting a cheap waterproof car cover from Amazon.
