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?
A shopper
on Nov 14, 2016
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 or a vice grip. Yes, you would need 2 clips per strap. For people who's furniture doesn't have the slots for the metal clips, the webbing can be stapled or tacked to the frame.

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.

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.

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.

The rubber webbing worked beautifully for my sun porch. Now my guest don’t go thru the seats to the floor when they sit down. This is the second time I have replaced the webbing in 30 years.
