Measuring Patio Furniture Slings
|
Over the years we've come to realize that there is a lot of confusion out there when it comes to
slings. We've tried various options in attempts to make it easier for our customers to measure
their old slings and order new ones. Unfortunately, there are too many variables that can occur, so
trying to put a standard process in place hasn't really worked.
The biggest problem is in the measuring. Slings that are still on the chairs are already
stretched into place, so they cannot be measured accurately. Often they are torn, or have been
repaired several times, which makes it even more difficult to dertermine their original size.
So we finally decided that the best way to give our customers slings that are the
correct size is to have them send a sample one into the factory where they're made. We will
provide instructions and the address to send the sample(s) to when you place your order.

First, let's clarify a few things:
Two Types of Slings
Let's make sure we're speaking the same language when it comes to discussing slings. There are two basic
types:
- Seating Slings - these are the type that you sit or lie on directly [no cushion is used].
They are typically a firmer fabric, always a B grade, and come in many colors and patterns [fabrics].
You can learn about how to remove and replace them by clicking the preceding link.
- Cushion Slings - this type of sling is used to support the cushions that are used on the
furniture. They are an A grade mesh fabric, and come in a dozen or so solid colors [fabrics]. Because there are many different styles, shapes and sizes of cushion slings,
ordering them correctly can be a challenge. Click the preceding link to go to a page that will help you
define your cushion sling for ordering.
