My wife and I are replacing the fabric in patio chairs. There is a spline that runs down each side into a seam that is folded over to insert it into. These go down a channel on each side of the chair.
Then the spreader bars are to be inserted in the lower back to make it all very tight.
I could rent the spreader tool form the fabric supplier for $25.00. I would also be interested of any other solutions. It would take a Gorilla to spread the sides. The supplier is out of state and it took ages just to get the fabric.
Thank you.
