Dryness and brittleness are the common causes of caning breaking with holes and sagging. This tends to be the most common reason many decide to re-cane. Oiling your cane panels twice a year with Old English lemon oil can rehydrate the caning and maintain tensile strength. Alternatively, you can spray warm water lightly onto the cane to rehydrate and prevent drying.
