 All replacement slings produced at Patio Sling Store are made to customer specifications. Due to this fact, sling measurements need to be taken by the customer as accurately as possible. These instructions will provide you with the necessary details on how to take an accurate measurement of your outdoor patio furniture.
Patio Sling Store recommends always measuring the actual chaise lounge frame whenever possible. Measuring existing slings removed from the chaise lounge frame typically wields inaccurate measurements as the sling has already been stretched and worn. Measurements may be taken on the chaise lounge frame with either the original sling installed or removed. However, in order to achieve accurate results, it is imperative that the rails of the frame and all spreader bars be intact and tightened before measuring.
Patio Sling Store requires all customers seeking one piece chaise replacement slings to provide five measurements of their one piece chaise lounge.
| Measuring Length: |
|
In order to accurately produce a one piece chaise replacement sling, Patio Sling Store requires that three measurements for length be provided. |
| Top Length |
|
|
The top length will be the length of the chaise back starting from the very top of the chaise back rail to the bottom. |
| Bottom Length |
|
|
The bottom length will be taken at the seat of the chaise lounge from the back of the chaise bottom (seat) to the front of the chaise bottom where the feet rest. |
| Overall Length |
|
|
The overall length will be the entire length of the top and bottom chaise rails including the notch. Start the tape measure at the top of the chaise back and measure all the down the entire length of the chaise.
Take care when measuring the pivot point of the chaise lounge where the chaise back bolts to the bottom. If necessary, measure next to the bolt to avoid a jump in the measurement |
| Measuring Width |
|
|
Two measurements for width need to be taken. In order to obtain the width of the chaise frame, a measurement must be taken from center rail to center rail of the chaise frame. Imagine a center line that runs the length of the slot in the chaise rail. This is the center point of the rail.
Patio Sling Store recommends always measuring a few inches away from the end of the sling rails due to the fact that the rails tend to flair out over time. |
| Top Width |
|
|
Take a measurement about five inches down from the top of the chaise back. |
| Bottom Width |
|
|
Take a measurement a few inches up from the very end of the chaise bottom.
Take the average of the two measurements and round to the nearest eighth of an inch and this will be the width. |
Note: If your chair has a slight taper of a quarter inch or less from top to bottom, keep in mind that this is most likely due to the natural movement of the sling rails.
Patio Sling Store recommends that customers provide one overall measurement as often as possible as most chaise frames are made square with the exception of a few with evident tapers of a half inch or more.
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. Patio Sling Store will add the necessary seam allowances for the length and width.
