How to Measure for  Sling Replacement

We have had a busy season with customers ordering replacement slings for their patio furniture. Due to the fact that our patio slings are made from direct customer measurement specifications, it is very important to accurately measure your sling furniture before ordering. Below are detailed instructions on how to make these measurements of your outdoor patio sling furniture accurately.  Like the old saying goes, "measure twice and cut once."

Instructions:

When measuring a sling for replacement, make sure the measurements are taken while the sling is still tightly installed in frame, even if the fabric is cut or ripped. Taking measurements from just the sling will result in an inaccurate size. Measure to the nearest 1/8″ and do not add more. We will add the necessary fabric for seams.

  A tailors measuring tape should be used to measure with as it can follow the contour of the chair which is necessary to get an accurate measurement.
Measure the width starting about 3″ from the top of the sling and by identifying the center of the sling rail channel as shown.Measure across to the center of the channel on the other side to the closest 1/8″.

  

Do not take measurements from the very top or the very bottom as the sling tends to flare out.Measure the width of both the back and seat of the chair as they may differ slightly.

   Measure the width of the seat in the same manner as the width of the back was measured. Start about 3″ from the bottom edge at the center of the rail channel and measure straight across to other center of the other rail channel. Take measurements to the nearest 1/8″.

  
 To measure the sling length, start at the very top edge of fabric. Measure the entire length making sure to follow the curves of chair. Following the edge will give you an accurate measurement remembering to round down and not up to the nearest 1/8″.

When taking measurements of your sling furniture, make sure to gather measurements from several of your sling chairs in the set to make sure there are no random variations. Do not alter or add any adjustments to your measurements. We will add any necessary seams and material necessary for a perfect fit!

We offer replacement slings for chairs, ottomans and chaise lounges. Our prices range from $24-$86.
