How It's Made - Installing Jute Webbing
Posted by Frank Bray on
Here is how I install natural jute webbing in my seat frames. I stretch the webbing with a special tool that I made years ago. The webbing gets installed in a checkerboard fashion and is stapled to the frame securing it tightly.
Natural jute webbing is just as good as steel frames, giving great support plus a bit of spring to the seat. With foam and fabric installed on top, it provides a very comfy seating experience.
These seat frames are screwed and glued together for long-term durability and squeak-free service. Most furniture today, even the high-end expensive stuff, is simply power stapled together, but that's not a great way to make furniture to last! I am proud to offer chairs that will give years of faithful service.
