1. Why re-canvas rather than buy cheap deckchairs?
Solid acacia, teak, or beech wood deckchair frames frequently outlive their original fabric by decades. Discarding a well-built wooden frame merely because the fabric faded after a single summer is economically wasteful and ecologically unsound.
Replacing the sling with high-performance solution-dyed acrylic canvas from Kansotex restores your outdoor furniture to luxury hotel standards at a fraction of the cost of new loungers.
Rénover la toile d'une chilienne de qualité s'inscrit dans l'esprit Kanso : la simplicité épurée, le respect des matières nobles et le refus du jetable.
2. The winning fibers against Marrakech sun and pool chlorine
Poolside loungers endure intense solar radiation compounded by chemical splashes containing chlorine and bromine.
Our sling canvases are woven with solution-dyed acrylic yarns treated with an active chlorine-resistant and anti-fungal barrier that prevents fabric degradation and mildew.
“Une chilienne réussie est celle qui accueille le corps avec fermeté et douceur. La toile doit tendre sous la charge sans jamais s'étirer irréversiblement.”

4. How to accurately measure your existing sling (Standard 43 cm width)
Measure the width between the frame rails (most commonly 43 cm) and the total unfolded length including the hems that wrap around the wooden dowels (typically 125 cm to 130 cm).
