In order to obtain the width of the chair frame, a measurement must be taken from center rail to center rail of the chair frame. Imagine a center line that runs the length of the slot in the chair rail. This is the center point of the rail. Measure from one center point to the opposite.
When measuring the frame for width three measurements should be taken. Chair Care Patio has found it is best to measure in areas where the bolts and spreader bars are attached. For instance, on a chair frame, measure the back of the chair where the bolts attach, the seat of the chair, and the front of the chair where the bolts attach near the knees.
Please do not provide measurements taken from the very top of the chair rails as they tend to naturally flair out overtime. Always measure at least five inches down from the top of the chair frame.
Take the average of the three measurements and round to the nearest eighth of an inch and this will be the width. If your chair has a slight taper of a quarter inch of less from top to bottom keep in mind that this is most likely due to the natural movement of the sling rails. Chair Care Patio recommends that customers provide one overall measurement as often as possible as most chair frames/slings are made square with the exception of a few with evident tapers of a half inch or more.
Be sure to measure all chairs in your set as some of them may differ in size. If the size varies by a random quarter or eighth of an inch here and there please provide an average overall measurement for all pieces in the set as they should be made at one standard size.
Replacement slings are non-returnable and non-refundable if made to your specifications.
Make certain that the measurements you provide are accurate before placing an order. Remember, measure twice, cut once. All measurements should be made to the nearest eighth inch at all times. Do not make any adjustments to the measurements that you take. Chair Care Patio will add the necessary seam allowances for the length and width. |
