How to Repair Wicker Furniture - Replace wicker/rattan with durable wood slats on sofa and table

- My outdoor sofa, made of a steel frame and wrapped with vinyl wicker, deteriorated. The damage was likely due to UV light and/or weather. Faced with the decision to trash the sofa or repair it, I decided to attempt a DIY refurbishing. After removing the rattan/wicker material, I prepared the steel frame for priming and painting. Finally, I attached slats of wood to the metal frame using custom 3D printed brackets and stainless wood screws. Someone else might consider using off-the-shelf metal straps cut to length, instead of printed brackets. The fix spared the sofa from the landfill and resulted in a piece of furniture that is far more durable than even a brand new wicker sofa. My patio furniture is now ready for many more years of use! Further, I plan to complete a similar fix on my broken outdoor wicker table. The same do-it-yourself fix can be used on outdoor chairs, loungers, and beds.
The plastic clips, connecting the metal frame to the wood, were custom made. You may purchase clips by contacting me at JMorgan@ZeshEnterprises.com. Please include the dimensions of the tubes on your furniture. Thanks!

Great job! Mine isn't that far gone yet but if i can't make it presentable I'll do as you have.
I have this exact set and was getting ready to toss it but now I’m going to take a shot doing this. Thanks for the great video.
Love this project. I am gonna do the same for my wiker sofas.
Love this project. I might do this but actually wood on the whole thing
Thank you!
Es mi pasion❤
looked like Rover doggie had a field day with that wicker, LOL
Good job revitalizing your old wicker furniture. Wood is extremely expensive now. How much money did your renovation cost? Also, did you use weather resistant wood and cover it with a urathane to protect it from rotting? Those cushions are going to prevent the wood from drying out quickly so you need to protect from rot.
Cost was ~$25, including exterior grade treated lumber.

How many pieces of lumber 🪵 did you use?
I would also like to inquire about the plastic parts that connect the wood to the frame. Also what size screws did you use for both the frame and wood?
@AustynAbles-od6jm You may reach me at JMorgan@ZeshEnterprises.com. I'll have to know the dimensions of the tubes on your furniture. Thx.
How much were the 3d printed brackets?
If he printed them, probably 0.20-0.40 a piece looks about 35 grams. Just depends on how much you paid for filament
Got the .stl file?
Take some calipers to it and make it in tinkercad. Hell I can make an STL for you in my downtime if you want
Where did you buy those plastic parts to connect the wood to the frame?
I custom made them. You may purchase some from me if you like. PM me for details. Thx.
