Where exactly is that?

On the port side of the swim platform.

I think I noticed that and wondered what it was at the time. Thanks.

Need more details!

Are you just replacing elastic across the top of the netting? Where did you get the elastic?

Is it a pretty simple procedure?

Yep, very simple, about 5 minutes per chair.

Items needed:

- 1 inch wide elastic strips from Wal-Mart ($2 a pack, probably need 1 to 2, you'll find these in the fabric section)
- Scissors
- Phillips Screw Driver

1. Take just the top left and right screw of of the chair to get at the top of the netting.
2. On mine the elastic band (no elasticity left) was partially sewn into the net, so I cut a quarter inch off both sides to release the elastic.
3. Safety pin the new elastic strip to the old one, pull the old one through as it pulls the new elastic in place.
4. Then screw in one side (left or right) putting the screw through the netting+new elastic
5. Pull the the other side as taut as you'd like, and screw through the netting+new elastic on that side, then cut the excess.

All done - looks great!
