Last year, we put our 4 person dining table on the sunporch and got quite a bit of use out of it...HOWEVER- the oldest dog did, too..! She scratched her face on the seats and wore them out and made them smell...Here's what the chairs looked like a week ago...
I wanted to recover them inexpensively and also keep the exposure of the seats to a minimum... so of course I looked for material and found a great mix packaged altogether (mostly for quilters) at Wal-mart!! I also found clear plastic material there for 97 cents a yard that is made especially for covering tables, picnics, and this type of furniture... Here's how I went about it...

| Removed the screws and the seat... |

 |
| I used the can of spray adhesive to initially attach the material...(and no, I did not do this on the carpet- this is an after shot) |

Cut the clear cover and stapled it over the material onto the back of the seat! Notice I chose a DIFFERENT but compatible fabric for each seat, instead of making them all the same!! :)
Here is a picture of a couple of the completed chairs! I'm very pleased with the way they turned out...
 |
| screwing the seats back on was the hardest part ironically! |
And here is a couple pics of the finished product! Hope this helps somebody with their decorating issues! The dog is going to hate these- they are way too slick for her to scratch her face- she'll have to move onto the fence ;)
 |
| Happy, happy, happy for now! |
