Replaced the canvas on a zero gravity chair

Very impressive. I was going to ask how you did all the little rivet holes until I saw you ordered it

The kits for them are cheap, they go in with a hammer.
Punching a couple eyelets is easy. That many? No way.

They make "guns" for them too which are like pliers. Even easier than the hammer and faster.

I definitely would have replaced it if I had to punch my own holes haha

I think I have this exact chair. Nice work!

Interestingly, usually the metal frame would usually go bad and rust before the fabric would go bad

The frame is a little rusty, but still solid. The fabric did its best, but it doesn't help that I'm close to 3 bills and have been using it for years.

Fake. People in zero gravity don't need chairs, especially this one. /s

Is the material canvas?
not_so_handsome_jack@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
It's some sort of sturdy, rough, probably synthetic canvas. Meant for enduring outdoor conditions for sure.

What's a rebuild kit cost, vs a new chair?
Don't get me wrong, up cycling is a much better option vs just trashing the frame; just curious about the price difference.

I believe the replacement kit was 25 dollars and a new chair would have been a little over 100. Took me probably 3 hours to remove the old canvas and rethread the supports.
