HOW TO MEASURE A CHAISE LOUNGE FOR NEW REPLACEMENT SLINGS 

 

 

When measuring the width we ask that measurements be taken at the CENTER OF THE RAIL. We realize there is additional fabric inside the rail and we account for this when making the new sling. Our replacement chair slings can stretch ½"-1" when tightened on the chair frame. Sling fabrics are designed to stretch when installed on the frame.

 

 

     

 

Take a measurement about 6 inches down from the top of the chaise back. Most chaise backs have a natural tendency to fl air out at the very top but it's usually not necessary to account for this. Use a soft tape measure and measure from the center of one sling rail across to the opposite. Round your measurement up to the nearest 1/8" inch and record this measurement.

 

 

     
 
    
When measuring the length of the chaise back sling rail simply start your soft tape measure at the very top of the sling rail where the end cap meets the metal frame. Start at the top and measure down to the very end of the sling rail where the end cap meets the metal frame. Be sure to follow the contour of the chaise back when measuring. This completes the measurements for the chaise back.

 

 

      

Measure the width of the bottom or seat of the chaise lounge. To measure the back of the chaise bottom, place your measuring tape a few inches away from the end of the sling rail near the fi rst set of bolts on the seat of the chaise lounge. For the front width, measure a 6 or 8 inches from the end of the sling rail, near where the bolts attach the rail to the frame. Measure both areas by rounding up to the closest 1/8”and record your measurements

 

 

 

Place your measuring tape on top of the metal sling rail and measure from end to end. Round up to the closest 1/4”.

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.

We recommend that our 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.

 

Be sure to measure all of the pieces in your set as some of them may differ in size. If the sizes vary 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.

 

Each replacement patio furniture replacement sling we produce is custom made to your dimensions. No two chair frames are alike. There is no "industry standard" chair size so measure each chair carefully. Measurements should be taken while the fabric is still installed in the chaise lounge frame and all bolts are tight.

 

The old sling has stretched over time and is not an accurate measurement. Our slings will not fit if you use measurements from the old sling. You must measure on the frame with fabric installed.

 

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 the old saying "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. Our sewiers will add the necessary seam allowances for the length and width.
