SLING MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS
Slings are non-returnable and non-refundable if made to your measurements. As the saying goes, measure twice, cut once. Make sure your measurements are accurate before placing your order. Measurement should be made to the closest 1/8". Please don't make any adjustments to the measurements you take. Don't add a bit here or take away a bit there. Please follow the exact measuring instructions provided. Casual Refinishing will add the necessary seam allowances for length and width.
_______________________________________________
Measurements should be taken while the sling material is still installed, tightly in the furniture frame. Measuring an old sling that has been removed from the frame is not accurate. Measure only installed slings. For the width, we require the distance from sling rail channel to sling rail channel. Do not be tempted to add to these measurements. Measure to the nearest 1/8”. Casual Refinishing will add the necessary fabric for seam allowances.
STEP 1 - Identify the sling rail
Most slings are installed by sliding the edge of the material into a channel or slot that runs the length of the chair. Imagine a center line that runs down the length of this slot. You will be measuring from center line to center line.
STEP 2 - Top sling width
Using a tape measure (a flexible cloth or plastic type works best) measure the distance from the center of one sling rail to center of the opposite sling rail. Measure to the nearest 1/8". Casual Refinishing will add the necessary fabric for seam allowances.
STEP 3 - Bottom sling width
Repeat this process on the bottom of the chair or chaise. Never assume the top and the bottom measurement are the same. Measure from center to center of the sling rail and record your measurement to the closest 1/8".
STEP 4 - Sling length
Starting at the top of the chair, measure the overall length. Make sure you follow the contour or curve of the chair. It is best to measure along the edge of the chair or sling rail and not in the middle of the chair. Use the curve of the sling rail as your guide. Measure to the closest ¼". This measurement will be the finished length of the sling. Casual Refinishing will allow yardage for the necessary seam allowances.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For accurate measurement, make sure the sling rails are tightly fastened to the chair frame. The sling should not be baggy or loose on the frame.
DOUBLE CHECK ALL MEASURMENTS! SLINGS ARE NOT RETURNABLE IF YOUR MEASURMENTS
ARE NOT CORRECT!
2 PIECE SLINGS - Separate top and bottom
Measure the top width, bottom width and length of both the back and bottom portions of the sling. Use the same method as described above in step 1-3. You will have six separate measurements for this type of sling.
SINGLE PIECE CHASE - With side notches
Because single piece chase slings have a notch where the sling back folds there will be two measurements required for sling length, one for the top and one for the bottom. Measure the top from the top of the sling to the top of the notch. Measure the bottom from the bottom of the sling to the bottom of the notch. The notch is a standard size and we calculate it into the over all length of the new sling. You will have 4 separate measurements for this type of sling
