The plastic line making up the seat in our old patio chairs was deteriorating. I had wondered at my ability to recreate the seats in chord, knowing my skills did not lie in that direction.
Then I remembered seeing some outdoor furniture which used aluminum strips to support wooden slats. Having just installed steel roofing on the barn, I had lots of steel scraps. Ditto for pine boards lying around in the shop. A few hours later, I have these.
Three coats of sealer later we should be good to go.
