The most important part of the replacement sling process, aside from selecting a great new patio sling fabric, is the replacement sling measuring process. As they say, measure twice and cut once! No need to be intimidated by measuring your patio chair. It's relly quite easy. You will need a flexible measuring tape, or tailors tape. This kind of tape measure works better than a metal measuring tape. The cloth tape is flexible and can easily follow the curve of the chair frame.
Use a soft measuring tape for best results.
You will take 6 meaurements from the patio chaise lounge frame.
Top width, bottom width and length.
Make sure that the metal rails, aka sling rails, that hold the sling to the frame are tightly installed. Check all the bolts that secure the rails to the frame and make sure they are not acceptionally loose.
Do not measure the old sling that has been taken out of the frame. This will not be an accurate measurement. Over time, the old sling fabric has lost its stretch or flexiblity. We can not guarantee your new replacement sling will fit if you measure the old fabric sling.
Take your measurements a few inches down from the end of the sling rail. Over time, with the weight of the body, the metal rails can change position and be uneven at the very ends. It's best to take the measurements a few inche in from the end where the rails will be every and parallel from side to side.
Most of the time, (99.99999%) the top width and bottom width of your patio sling chair should be the same. Or pretty close. You may find that either width is not exactly the same and that's ok. It might be off by a very small amount. Don't worry. When in doubt, round UP to the closest 1/4".
For example, if the top width measures 21 3/8" then round up to 21 1/2.
Example of rounding up.
If your measurement is:
Step One - Measuring the Top Width and Bottom Width of your Chaise Lounge Frame - Chaise Back
Starting at one side at the back of the chaise lounge back section, omeasure a few inches down from the end of the sling rail, as instructed, measure across the patio sling chaise lounge frame and fabric to the other side of the frame.
Measure from the edge of the metal where the fabric disappears into the metal rail to the other side. Some one to help you measure and hold one side of the tape measure can be helpful. Team work is the best course of action! Make sure your tape measure is taught and flat against the old sling fabric.
DO NOT measure the old sling that is not installed in the chaise lounge sling frame.
DO NOT add anything to the measurements from rail to rail and the length. We understand that there is fabric inside the rail that you can't see and each patio sling has hems on all 4 sides. We add the necessary fabric for seam allowances and stretch.
Step Two - Measuring the Top Width and Bottom Width of your Chaise Lounge Frame - Chaise Seat
Starting at one side of the sling chair frame, a few inches UP from the end of the sling rail, as instructed, measure across the patio sling chair frame and fabric to the other side of the frame.
Measure from the edge of the metal where the fabric disappears into the metal rail to the other side. Make sure your tape measure is taught and flat against the old sling fabric. Measure to the closest 1/4". When in doubt, round UP.
For example, if the bottom width measures 19 7/8" then round up to 20".
DO NOT measure the old sling that is not installed in the patio sling chair frame.
DO NOT add anything to the measurements from rail to rail and the length. We understand that there is fabric inside the rail that you can't see and each patio sling has hems on all 4 sides. We add the necessary fabric for seam allowances and stretch.

Are you wondering if there are certain types of patio chair replacement slings we do not manufacture?
The answer is yes!
While we specialize in custom patio slings, there are specific chair styles that we do not make slings for due to their complex design and difficult installation process.
While the majority of replacement slings can be installed by the customer, there are a few that we strongly recommend you NOT try to install.
Some chairs and chaise lounges have welded stabilizer bars at the back of the frame that give the chair back strength. The stabilizer bar can not be removed making the installation and correct fit of the sling very difficult.
We highly recommend that you not attempt this type of installation at home.
As noted in our return policy during the checkout process, replacement slings are non returnable and non refundable due to the inability to install.
Please inspect your chair or chaise to determine if it has a welded stabilizer bar or a removable one BEFORE your order.
Before ordering replacement patio slings, please review the information below to ensure your chair or chaise lounge is suitable for a DIY installation.
1. Chairs with Horizontal Spline (Curved Top & Tapered Bottom Seats)
We do not manufacture slings for patio chairs where the spline runs horizontally instead of vertically. These chairs often feature:Many of these chairs were originally sold at big-box retailers, and replacing them is often more cost-effective than attempting to repair them. Sending an old sling as a pattern will not work due to inconsistent sizing. Our advice: Do not invest your time or money into repairing this style of chair.
2. Patio Chairs with Welded Stabilizer Bars at the Back of the Frame
Chaise Lounges that have a welded stabilizer bar.
Some patio chairs and chaise lounges feature welded stabilizer bars at the back of the frame for added strength.
If the bar cannot be removed, installing a new sling is extremely difficult.
Important:
Our measuring formula will not work for this chair style.
These slings require professional installation.
Slings are non-returnable and non-refundable, as outlined in our return policy.
How to check your chair:
Before placing an order, inspect your chair or chaise to determine if it has a removable or welded stabilizer bar. If welded, we highly recommend contacting us before purchasing.
3. Sling Chairs with Side or Back Rail Openings

What Are Patio Slings and Why Do They Need Replacing?
Patio slings are durable fabric panels used in sling patio chairs, sling back chairs, chaise lounges, and outdoor sling chairs. Over time, exposure to sun, rain, and general wear can cause them to sag, tear, or fade. Instead of replacing your entire patio chair set, patio sling replacement is a cost-effective solution that extends the life of your outdoor furniture.
If you notice fraying, sagging, or faded sling chair fabric, it's time for sling chair repair or full sling chair replacement.

If you are unsure about your measurements, please call us at 1-866-638-6416 before ordering. We are happy to walk you through the measuring process to ensure your slings fit properly
Sling Size Discrepancy – Please Install Before Calling
DO NOT compare the size of your new sling to your old sling. Over time, old slings stretch and expand, so a new sling may appear smaller before installation.
If your sling feels too tight, ensure you have completely disassembled the chair, loosened all bolts, and properly inserted the sling fabric into the rails.
If you are having trouble installing your sling, please refer to our sling installation video tutorials for step-by-step guidance.
Slings are non-returnable and non-refundable, but if a mistake was made in production, we will gladly adjust or remake the sling at no charge.
Errors in Sling Manufacturing by Cascadia
If your sling was manufactured incorrectly by Cascadia Outdoor Cushions, we will make adjustments at no charge.
Requests for alterations must be made within 45 days of the invoice date to qualify for free adjustments.
Any adjustments requested after 45 days will be subject to additional fees at the discretion of our sewing manager.
Errors in Measuring by Customer
If a measuring error was made by the customer, we will work with you to adjust the sling size for the best possible fit.
Alteration fees range from $10 to $20 per sling, depending on the extent of the changes needed.
All alterations must be requested within 45 days of receiving the order.
After 45 days, alteration fees will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Sling Alteration Request
If you have followed our patio sling installation instructions and still feel your replacement sling is too large or too small, you must contact us to obtain a Sling Alteration Request Number.
Our technical support team will review your installation process and compare your original measurements to the final sling size.
If an alteration is required, you will be assigned a Sling Alteration Request Number to include when returning your slings for adjustments.
DO NOT return your slings without an assigned Sling Alteration Request Number.
Sling Alteration Tolerances
Because replacement sling fabric has a natural stretch, small variations in size do not require alterations.
We will not alter slings if the final width is within ± ¼ inch or if the length is within ± ½ inch of the original measurements.
If your sling is slightly too wide, we can send you additional sling spline, which will help tighten the fit.
Sling Installation – Important Information
Installing a new sling requires complete disassembly of the chair or chaise lounge.
Loosen the bolts at the back of the chair to allow the sling rails to fall away, making installation easier.
The new sling will be tight and must be stretched across the frame to achieve a proper fit.
We offer a low-cost spreader tool to help with stabilizer bar installation, ensuring an easier and smoother process.
Please view our sling installation videos before installing your replacement slings.
