PVC piping on our newly purchased outdoor...pool,patio furniture....fractured with a small(120#) person sitting on it. It is your PVC Chaise recliner. We had originally purchased a similar product...23 years ago and actually went to the retail vendor looking for new webbing and cushions.This vendor(All Decked Out,Nazareth,Pa) was reluctant and we junked old and bought new....17 pieces...4 PVC Chaise recliners from them....Upon inspection,screws were missing,but set looked good. After the fracture,I inspected and found not traditional PVC pipe,but a plastic replacement.The design led the pipe to fracture at the same point in 3 of the 8 lengths.....I was able to replace 4 of the 8,but will do the remaining 4 rods...when time available....The cost is not significant.....$5/per 10 ft. length.....so intotal $20...repairs this problem....Poor design,I feel...Your engineer should know
I have pictures,If you desire them
