Patio Chair Slings We Do Not Make

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

WE DO NOT MAKE REPLACEMENT SLINGS FOR HOMECREST PATIO FURNITURE!!!

Replacement Sling Warranty

Replacement Sling Warranty & Policies

At Cascadia Outdoor Cushions, we take pride in offering high-quality custom replacement slings designed for durability, comfort, and long-lasting performance. Before placing your order, please review our warranty, billing, return policies, and installation guidelines to ensure a smooth ordering process.

Replacement Sling Warranty

All custom replacement slings come with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, ensuring your slings are crafted to the highest standards.
The sling fabric itself is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, which provides three years of protection against fabric defects, fading, and strength loss under normal usage and exposure conditions.

This warranty does not cover:

• Improper installation or incorrect measuring
• Damage from misuse, extreme weather, or improper cleaning products
• Normal wear and tear, mold, mildew, or fading caused by environmental factors
• For fabric longevity, routine cleaning and proper maintenance are recommended.

Replacement Sling Return Policy

Custom replacement slings are non-returnable and non-refundable due to the inability to install them properly.
Measure carefully before placing your order, as incorrect sizes cannot be refunded.
We are not responsible for color discrepancies due to differences in screen displays. For the most accurate color match, we recommend ordering fabric samples before purchasing.

Sling Billing & Order Policy

Custom sling orders are charged in full at the time of purchase.
Since all replacement slings are made to your exact measurements and color selection, they cannot be resold or restocked.
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.
