How to Adjust the Brackets on a Chaise Lounge

Chaise lounges are great for the patio and pool side. The headrest of the chaise lounge adjusts on brackets on the back of the head rail. When the brackets become loose or out of shape the only adjustment that you can make is to replace the adjustment brackets. For a more-adjustable chair, purchase replacement brackets that have eight adjustment hooks instead of the four that are standard. Replacement brackets for chaise lounges are available through the manufacturer and some home improvement centers.

      Line up a new adjustment bracket lower mounting hole with an existing lowest mounting hole on the head rail. The adjustment brackets have three holes. The hooks of the adjustment bracket should face the upper part of the head rail.

      Mark the remaining mounting holes on the head rail with a marker. Drill new holes at the marks with an 1/8-inch drill bit.

      Place the new bracket onto the head rail and secure with the retaining screws. Repeat for the other side of the head rail.
