Bojitoes Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi all We were at the NEC the other week looking for a couple of recliners. We spoke to man on the Towsure or similar stand and he said that we could probably get our present ones restrung or rethreaded but did not have the names of any companies who do it with him. We need new elastic thread to tie the panels to the frame as the thread has broken in a couple of places- probably due to an excess of either paella or strudel! So if anyone knows of a company who do such a thing, preferably in the Midlands, it would be much appreciated Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 The only firm that I know of that does 'Repair Kits' for loungers is Lafuma, the guy at Towsure should have known that, as they stock them ?? But then he was just a salesman. http://www.lafuma.co.uk/index.php?p=products&pid=295&prodname=twin%20pack%20lacing%20cords You can get them direct from here. This is a DIY job.

peacock312 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 My 10year old crespo recliner was showing its age,lot of use,plus I weigh 19 stone plus, I bought a new,very heavy duty , extra wide, Kampa recliner,guaranteed to carry my weight, for only £36.00 at recent NEC show. I am sure if you shop around you might find one, is it worth restringing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyg3nwl Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi,I have done the restringing for Lafuma recliners. Google Lafuma spares and order read made restrings for your type of chair. Excellent speedy response, and dead easy to do.if a bit fiddly. tonyg3nwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david lloyd Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We have restrung our Laguna recliners twice now - obtained the elastics from www.gardenxl.com. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyishuk Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I have used the services of this site, next day delivery if you phone early enough http://www.uktarps.com/bungee/bungee-cord Rgds PS Word of warning, Re-thread one side before taking of the other sides old bungee cord. Luckily we had two loungers that I could copy the threading from when I made the fatal mistake of taking the seat out completely ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb6981 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I purchased a Lafuma RSX lacing cords set (re-laces one chair) in Hyper U, Agde, France this year for 8 euros: they are £15.00 in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojitoes Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks for the advice everybody, had not heard of lafuma before but will get some laces over the weekend - and then spend the next 3 months working out how to put them in !

Mad Mitch Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 We purchased Lafuma loungers in May this year and so far have had to "restring" them twice. The cords rub on the metal and gradually wear out. The replacements seem in short supply currently, as one supplier could not fulfil our order before we left the U.K. in September for six months. Lafuma gave us the first replacements free, but advised that no other replacements would be forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Riversway leisure also offer the cords for £9.95 a set ,but there is a restriction on the minimum price of an order, order 2 sets it is then £3.95 p/p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B. Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You can get Lafuma elastic strings at virtually any caravan dealer in Europe-very popular even in Eastern Europe-Czech, Hungary, Slovenia etc etc. I have re-strung ours this year-absolute doddle, takes about 10 minutes to do but as stated above, leave one side in while you do the other-keeps it taught and in place for lacing plus it's easy to copy Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wills Wagon Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Lafuma spares are available from: www.oxford-therapy-supplies.co.uk We did ours earlier this year for about £15 each, they are genuine spares at competitive prices.

corkbuoy Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 All boat chandlers stock rolls of shock cord in a range of sizes, take along a sample and buy the length you need. I redid mine using slightly thicker cord than the original, great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retread24800 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 If you read the guarantee with your recliners you might find that the warranty is invalid for those more generously proportioned people ie over 110Kg or sharing the same relaxer! If you are having to restring twice a year perhaps you need to double up the bungee in the seat area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
