Measuring for Pre-Cut Vinyl Replacement Straps
Chair Care Patio furniture repair makes it easy and convenient for anyone to repair their vinyl strap outdoor furniture. Chair Care Patio offers pre-cut straps to customers who supply the hole to hole dimension of their vinyl strap patio furniture. Supply Chair Care Patio with the hole to hole measurement and we will produce quality pre-cut vinyl replacement straps to perfectly fit your furniture. Our pre-cut vinyl straps ship with the necessary rivets and will be ready to install onto your chair frame after heating.
Chair Care Patio will make the necessary deductions to the vinyl pre-cut straps ordered through our website. All we ask from our customers is to take a quick measurement and we will handle the rest. Please be advised that the vinyl pre-cut straps ordered from Chair Care Patio furniture repair will ship smaller than the hole to hole measurement provided to us. The reason for this is so that when the vinyl is heated, our customers will be able to stretch the vinyl pre-cut strap over their chair frame and fit tight. Do not be alarmed by the shorter strap size as the vinyl pre-cut straps offered from Chair Care Patio, once heated, will easily stretch two to five inches.
To properly measure your furniture all you will need is a cloth measuring tape. Please use the following line drawings as reference for measuring.
| Single Wrap |
|
|
Single wrap chairs will almost always have the holes on the inside of the chair frame. The vinyl strap and rivet are affixed to the inside of the chair frame and the strap comes around the outside of the frame then across the top. In total, the strap makes a ¾” revolution around the chair frame. Measuring for single wrap is simple. Take the cloth measuring tape and start at the hole on the inside of the chair frame. Simply wrap the tape around the outside and over the top to the opposite side. Wrap the measuring tape around the opposite side of the chair frame and finish at the inside rivet hole. The tape measure should be used and wrapped around the frame exactly as the purple line illustrates. This will be the hole to hole measurement. |
| Double Wrap |
|
|
Double Wrap chair frames have holes on the bottom side. The rivet is affixed to the bottom side of the chair frame and is not visible due the strap being wrapped over top itself. Double wrap straps start on the bottom side of the frame and wrap around twice. Again, take the measuring tape as if it were the strap itself and start on the bottom side of the chair frame. Wrap the tape measure around the frame, over itself, and back around. The purple line illustrates how the tape measure should be wrapped around the frame. The measurement from the first hole to the opposite will be the hole to hole measurement. |
Chair Care Patio's goal is to make it easy for our customers to order pre-cut vinyl replacement straps. Please do not make ANY deductions to the hole to hole measurement. Chair Care Patio will make all the necessary deductions to the supplied hole to hole measurement based upon strap orientation (single wrap / double wrap) and will ship the necessary rivets needed for installation. Please remember that the pre-cut vinyl replacement straps shipped from Chair Care Patio will be a few inches shorter than the supplied hole to hole measurement and will need to be heated before installation.
