How to Repair Your Resin Wicker Outdoor Furniture

Although resin wicker outdoor furniture can resist most weather conditions, it can still suffer accidents such as cuts and being chewed by pets. Here are some tips on how to repair your resin wicker outdoor furniture.

Determine the Full Extent of Damage

Check the piece of wicker furniture over carefully to see if the frame is damaged as well as the wicker weaving. If there is no frame damage, proceed with repair below. If the frame is bent or scratched, straighten it and repaint the scratched section with a paint suitable for metals.

Use a Resin Epoxy to Re-glue the Resin Wicker Strips

You can re-glue the resin strips if they were just pulled loose from the weave. Obtain resin epoxy at a building supply center. Ask about the best resin epoxy for the task.

Buy New Resin Strips and Reweave Them into the Furniture Item

If the strips are shredded or cut through away from the frame, you will need new resin strips, which you should be able to obtain from the manufacturer. Pull the old damaged strip out to just above the cut. Trim a piece of resin strip to the length you need and reweave it carefully into the wicker. Use a resin epoxy to secure it to the frame.
