Hi @Supersession84,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

As the material is sewn to the frame of the sun lounge, and is not a removable part, replacing it would be tricky and potentially unsafe.

For the time and effort it would take, it might just be easier to replace the sun lounge as a whole. This Marquee Sling Steel Sun Lounger might be a suitable option.

Let me know what you think.

Hi @Supersession84,

I'd also encourage you to replace the sun lounge. We've discussed repair with our manufacturer before, and they have advised against it due to the safety risk. The sling fabric is typically installed with a machine, and any repair wouldn't be as strong. I also share their concerns, as if your repair were to fail, it could cause significant injury.

unfortunately the manufacturer does not supply replacement slings for these sun lounges.

Not to safety factor, but not worth while for them.

They simply want you to buy an other.

I've got the same problem with these lounges.

Thay are not installed by machines, they the tracks are bolted to the frame.

Unbolt the tracks, slide out the fabric and get a upholsterer to make them for if its price affective.

Hi @cosmo90,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. 

Unfortunately, we can only advise based on the information the manufacturer has provided us. If you'd like to reupholster them, then the method you've advised seems like the way to go, but you would need to consider the risk involved.
