Cohousing-L Mailing List: Questions for Alicia - Re: Help Us Choose Patio Chairs - Your Input Needed! (Cascadia Commons, near Portland)

[Mabel Liang (mabel]

Hi Alicia,

Those chairs look very much like the ones we got at Target years ago, 
but I was going to warn about not being to replace the mesh.

Short question - can you please point to info on how to replace the 
fabric?

Long comment - People liked them, but we couldn't figure out how to 
replace the mesh fabric.  So most of them have gone to the land of metal 
recycling.  We have about 2 left of our original set of maybe 24?  We 
_have_ been here for 25 summers now, although I don't think we got the 
chairs the very first summer.  They're my favorite of the chairs we've 
gotten over the years.  I would _love_ to know how to revive the 
remaining ones.

Thanks so much!
