Of the many brands and styles of patio furniture, installing slings is easier in some than in others. We strongly recommend you look at how your furniture is built before you begin. All “tight slings” are cut narrower than the frame and then tightened to the sling rails to achieve a tight sling. Step 1: Remove Sling Rail CapsCarefully remove the sling rail caps from the chair, and avoid scratching the finish. A flat-head screwdriver and a hammer may be required. Step 2: Remove Bolts from One SideRemove the bolts holding one side of the sling rail to the chair frame. Most manufacturers use a 1/4" x 20 thread bolt; a 7/16" socket or a 3/16" hex head socket is usually effective. Use a ratchet to break the bolts loose, and remove them with a drill socket. Step 3: Remove Support BarsThe chair may have support bars. If they are straight, spread the sling rails apart by using a screw clamp that stretches instead of squeezes. If the support bars are curved, pull on the center while pushing on one end of the bar near the sling rail.

Step 4: Remove the Old SlingTo remove the old sling, pull it through the sling rail. Sometimes a pair of pliers makes this job easier. If the sling will not be used as a pattern or for another purpose, cut it down the middle and remove it. Step 5: Install the New SlingInsert the sling spline (included with your sling order) through the sling pockets (one on each side). Starting at the top, insert the sling into the sling rail; Cat Rescue North Torontoslide the sling to the end of the rail.

If the bolt does not reach the chair frame, loosen the bolts on the opposite sling rail, then tighten all the bolts.

Step 7: Finishing TouchesIf your furniture has support bars, reinstall them. If the support bars are curved, it may be necessary to hit the curve dead center with a rubber mallet to tighten the support bar (Figure 6). Cut the excess sling spline (Figure 7).
