Vinyl, nylon, and polyester are materials commonly used for lawn chair webbing, and all three will be waterproof and strong enough to be used on any chair. Remember that lawn chair webbing is not commonly used, as this style of chair has essentially gone out of style, but a thrifty homeowner can save money by replacing damaged webbing instead of simply throwing the chair out.
Since webbing is out of style, it may be difficult to find as well. The two most common sizes of lawn chair webbing are 2 1/4 inch (5.7 cm) and 3 inch (7.62 cm). Very old chairs were more likely to use 2 1/4 inch (5.7 cm) webbing, while more recent models were likely to use 3 inch (7.62 cm). Be sure to choose the right webbing before purchasing; simply measure the current webbing size already mounted on the chair and purchase the similar size. Purchasing the wrong size can make re-weaving the chair more difficult, and you may end up with excess material. If your chair uses plastic tubular webbing, you may want to consider switching to wider nylon or polyester webbing for strength and durability. Lawn chair webbing often comes in rolls, and the roll length will vary according to manufacturer or seller. Be sure to buy enough webbing for your chair or chairs. This may mean purchasing more than one roll to accommodate many chairs, or just one roll for part of one chair or one entire chair.
It is a good idea to buy a roll with more material than you need, not only to have spare material for future repairs, but also to have extra material should you make a mistake and need to cut a new length. When you replace lawn chair webbing, it is a good opportunity to change the appearance of your chair if you want to. You can buy a different color or design of webbing than you had on the chair previously, and you may even consider purchasing more than one color of webbing to produce a different weave appearance. Lawn chairs that use webbing tend to be quite old, and it is likely that you will not be able to find an exact color match anyway, so consider carefully how you want your chair to appear once the project is finished.

Maybe the frames of your patio furniture are in excellent shape, but the webbing is not as tight as it once was, or has some broken or torn pieces, making the chair useless.
You can repair and replace either the nylon or plastic strips that go across the chair seats for the fraction of the cost of buying brand new patio furniture. Remove all the screws from the underside of the frame of the chair holding the damaged nylon webbing in place. Remove the damaged webbing from the chair. Save the screws for reattaching the new webbing. Count how many nylon webbing strips go across the chair horizontally. Measure across the seat of the chair for your horizontal strips and add 3 inches. Cut the necessary number of horizontal strips to the required length. Measure from the top to the bottom of the chair and add 3 inches. Cut the necessary number of vertical strips. Attach a horizontal strip by folding the end of the strip into a triangle and inserting a screw through the nylon webbing. Screw the end of the webbing to the hole at the underside of the chair from where you removed the damaged webbing. Repeat with the other end of the webbing strip and repeat with all the remaining horizontal webbing strips.
Fold the end of a vertical strip into a triangle and attach it with the screw just like the horizontal strips. Weave the strip under and over all the horizontal strips. Fold the end into a triangle and attach with a screw on the underside of the chair. Repeat the weaving process, alternating the under and over, until you add all the vertical nylon webbing strips. Remove all the vinyl webbing strips from your patio chair or just the damaged ones if desired, by unscrewing all the screws from the underside of the frame of the chair. Keep the screws to attach the new vinyl strips. Measure from one screw hole on the underside of the frame to the other on the opposite side of the chair. Cut the vinyl strips to this measurement. You may want to start with one strip and see if it fits properly first and then make the necessary adjustment on the rest of the strips. Pre-drill holes in the vinyl webbing by using a 3/16 drill bit to make it easier for you to screw the strips to the chair.
Drill the holes 1/2 inch from the end of the strip. Boil 10 cups of water in a large pot and insert several strips at a time. Let them sit for five minutes to make the strips pliable and easy to work with. Screw the strips to the chair.
