How To Install Vinyl Straps
|
Replacement straps must be heated in order to stretch them onto the furniture frame. We recommend that you wear gloves to protect your hands.
Step 1: Heat the Vinyl Strap Heat a large pot of water to just under the boiling point. Roll a strap and heat it in the pot for approximately two minutes.
Remove the strap with a pair of tongs, and dry it with a towel.
Step 2A: Strapping for Single-Wrap Method Push a single-wrap pin through each end of the vinyl strap. Position one end of the strap at a hole on the frame. Push the pin through the hole until it locks (Figure 1). Stretch the strap around the front to the corresponding hole on the right side of the furniture (Figure 2); push the remaining pin through the hole on the backside of the frame, and lock it into place (Figure 3).
STEP 2B: Strapping for Double-Wrap Method Double-wrap method. Push a double-wrap pin into each end of the strap. Position one end of the strap at a hole on the frame (Figure 1), and push the pin through the hole. Wrap the strap around the bar once (Figure 2), covering the double-wrap pin (Figure 3).
Stretch the strap around the front to the right side of the furniture below the corresponding hole (Figure 4), then wrap around the frame upward towards the hole (Figure 5). Push the pin into the hole (Figure 6). Adjust the strap (Figures 7 and 8).
