Today, we will show you how you can fix the broken swing in your backyard using polypropylene lawn furniture re-webbing, a needle and upholstery thread.
Staple the edge with a stapler to remember where you started from. It will also provide a temporary support till you finish the process.
Step 1:
Cut the worn out canvas and throw it away. Repaint the whole swing to cover any rust stains. Wait for a day for the paint to dry.

Step 2:
Begin with the process of re-webbing. Take one end of the webbing, fold it up to an inch and wrap it around the top left side of the metal frame.
Step 3:
Take the webbing and wrap it vertically around both, the back and the seat, and go back and forth all the way down the swing. A little over halfway, staple the second strip of the webbing to continue the weaving.
Step 4:
Once you’re done re-webbing the whole swing vertically, repeat the same process horizontally. Use a stapler to attach the strands. At the very end of weaving, wrap the last strand around itself and staple the end.
Step 5:
Now, remove the stapler pins with a scissor and use an upholstery thread to weave the swing.
Step 6:
Place a nice, warm cushion over the seat and your swing is good to swing.
