Replace Elastic Webbing or Jute Webbing
The following instructions assume you have already identified and purchased a suitable replacement webbing straps from Sofa Rehab and have already removed any fabric, padding, cushions or frames in preparation to start the D.I.Y repair.
To replace webbing straps on upholstered furniture it is the same process whether you are changing the webbing straps on a seat, backrest or armrest of a chair, recliner or larger item.
We recommend taking a photograph of the original layout of the webbing straps to refer back to if required during the repair.
- Make a mark with a pencil on the timber frame at the centre of each webbing strap end as an indicator to locate the correct position for the replacement webbing strap (Tip: Use pencil so you can rub out the mark once finished)
- Carefully remove the original webbing straps by removing all the tacks or staples and fully remove the webbing strap.
- Starting with either the front to back or top to bottom webbing straps, position the free end of the replacement webbing strap at one end of the furniture opposite to where you are standing and fasten the free end directly to the centre of the marker previously made by yourself on the timber frame. Next pull the bulk webbing towards yourself, tensioning the webbing strap until you feel the tension is suitable for your required support. Tip: push down on the centre of the webbing strap to test the tension and either pull or release the strap until the desired tension is achieved. Fasten the webbing strap in position on the timber frame and trim the webbing to free the bulk of webbing away from the freshly attached webbing strap.
As a basic guide, general elastic webbing straps require approximately 2-3″ of tension pulled out when fastening, and this varies depending on the strength of webbing purchased and your required firmness for the repair you’re undertaking. Jute webbing may require a tool to stretch the webbing over the frame edge to achieve the desired tension.
- Repeat this process working along the length of the frame evenly spacing the webbing straps out using the pre marked indicators (generally the spaces between the webbing straps is the same width as the webbing strap being used so example if 50mm strap are used then a 50mm space between webbing straps).
- Next if previously installed or if you require to add support to the original layout weave the webbing straps in a plain weave pattern up and over, down and under the first set of webbing straps you just installed and copy the same pattern and method of attachment but with tensioning its expected you will need to pull more excess webbing to achieve the same tension as previously achieved
- Reattach any padding, fabric or cushions removed at the beginning.
Note – If you are installing the webbing straps for the first time on a new frame then as a guide we’d recommend spacing the webbing straps evenly apart at the same width as the webbing strap. i.e. If installing 50mm wide webbing straps space the straps 50mm apart.
