Can I repair my Acapulco chair myself?

 
Yes you can!
Repairing your own Acapulco chair can be a rewarding DIY project, especially if you have a bit of patience and a few basic tools. These iconic chairs, known for their woven designs and vibrant colors, sometimes need repairs due to wear and tear in the string or frame. Here’s how you can tackle the most common issues.
 

Replacing the PVC cord

For broken or frayed strings, you'll need some durable replacement cord, such as our high-quality replacement cords or any other cord that has your preference. Start by carefully removing the damaged cord. It’s important to note the weaving pattern as you remove it, so take pictures or make sketches to help guide you. Once the old cord is out, begin weaving the new one in the same pattern, ensuring it’s taut and evenly spaced. This can be a bit time-consuming, but the result will be worth it. You can find some videos that may be of help here.
