Why Replace Your Slings Instead of Buying New?
(And Why It’s Worth It for Quality Outdoor Furniture)

If your patio sling chairs or chaises are looking tired, sagging, or faded, your first instinct might be to replace the entire piece. But before you toss out your furniture, let’s talk about why replacement slings may be the smarter—more stylish and sustainable—choice.

Don't Replace the Chair. Replace the Sling.

Many high-quality outdoor furniture brands are designed to last for decades. The frames—typically made from powder-coated aluminum or wrought iron—can far outlive the original fabric. That’s where replacement slings come in. A custom-fit sling gives your furniture a whole new look and feel—without the cost or waste of buying new.

At Cascadia Outdoor Design, our custom-made slings are designed specifically for luxury outdoor furniture brands, such as:

• Brown Jordan

• Woodard

• Tropitone

• Mallin

• Winston

• Telescope Casual

• Agio

If you purchased your furniture from a specialty outdoor retailer, your frames were likely made in the USA and intended to be updated with new slings—not tossed when they wear out.

"I Could Buy a Whole New Chair for That Price."

We get this question now and then, and it’s a valid comparison—if you’re referring to patio sets purchased at a mass-market big box store. Those pieces are usually imported, often from China, and made from lightweight tubing with thin, polyester-based mesh fabric. They are designed to be disposable, not repairable.

Our replacement slings are designed for discerning customers who invested in quality furniture—the kind built to last, with frames strong enough to handle multiple sling replacements over their lifespan.

What Makes Our Sling Fabrics Different?

All of our sling fabrics are made in the USA by trusted industry leaders like Phifertex® and Twitchell®. These high-performance fabrics are crafted from PVC-coated polyester yarns, engineered for strength, comfort, and resistance to UV rays, mildew, and tearing.

Imported sling fabrics, often made with uncoated or loosely woven polyesters, simply can’t compete when it comes to durability or long-term appearance.

With dozens of beautiful textures, colors, and modern designs to choose from, you can transform your outdoor space while maintaining the high-end aesthetic you originally invested in.

A Sustainable, Smart Choice

If you're environmentally conscious, replacing the slings instead of the entire chair or chaise is a smart and sustainable decision. Why send heavy, powder-coated aluminum frames to the landfill when a new sling can give them another 10+ years of use?

You’ll save money, reduce waste, and continue to enjoy the high-quality furniture you already own.
