Understand that Pirelli stopped making this product some time ago, therefore, what is date of manufacture of your stock of this 2" wide strapping? Do you also have the compatible size grippers to fit the narrow slots in wood frames, as one needs 2 per replacement strap? If so, does one require a special tool to squeeze tightly?

BEST ANSWER: This rubber webbing is newly manufactured. We carry the metal clips that are compatible for furniture that has the slots in the wood frame. The clips can be closed with a vice, a vice grip, or even pliers. Yes, you would need 2 clips per strap. We have a video and written instructions for how to install the rubber webbing here: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-replace-rubber-webbing/

Which side of webbing should be at top I noticed there is a smooth side and a ruff side?
A shopper
on Sep 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I used the webbing with the rough side up to help grip the cushion on top. I don't think it matters for performance of the webbing.
BEST ANSWER: I used the webbing with the rough side up to help grip the cushion on top. I don't think it matters for performance of the webbing.
We replaced webbing that had the rough side up so that's what we did too. There are YouTube videos showing how to do this.
The texutured side is meant to help keep the cushion in place

My old strapping has stretched. How long should I cut the new straps? Just the width between the slots plus the length of the webbing clips or should I stretch the new strap some when placing it into the slots in the chair?
A shopper
on May 22, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I've read a good rule of thumb is to measure from slot to slot and add 1 inch for each clip on each end. For example, if you measure 18" slot to slot, add 2" (1 inch for each end) meaning you need a 20" piece of rubber webbing. I'm about to try this and will report back after with results.

It depends how stiff you want the seating to be. Having a small amount of give is OK.

the old webbing measures 1.5 inches wide. is 1.5 inch webbing available? or would it have shrunk 1/2 inch over the years?
A shopper
on Jun 4, 2017
BEST ANSWER: It's common for this rubber webbing to shrink over time, so it was probably the same width originally. Also, this webbing is approximately 2 inches, so it could be a little under that.

do I need to use a webbing stretcher with this webbing?
A shopper
on Aug 28, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Depends on how tight you need it. I made my own stretcher with two 1/2 inch wide plywood strips held together by 2 bolts with wing nuts. Clamped it over the strap and used it to pull while wife put metal clip into the slot.

Asking my question again now that I have an account. I was taken directly to a login screen after submitting my question. I need four 18" straps (6'). Are you able to cut the straps for me? I tried cutting the old strap with a box cutter--not happening. Glad to pay extra for the extra handling.
BEST ANSWER: It should cut fine with regular scissors. You can contact our customer service to see if we can cut the pieces. Contact them at either help@onlinefabricstore.net or 877-781-2967 Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm EST.

Easy to install
I had to replace two straps that were broken last year and chose to replace all the the straps, a total of 8. The job was quick and easy. I hope these replacement last half as long as the originals which have been on the chairs since the 1960s.

Now our chair feels like new
This is the best webbing to use when fixing a chair. It has a slight stretch which makes the chair even more comfortable. When ordering, add an extra foot or two in case it is spliced.
