This appears to be a good heavy duty vinyl outdoor chair strapping.The key to the installation going well (which I learned from another site), is to measure the length of the straps to be replaced and cut the new straps about 2.5″ shorter. (The old straps I was replacing on my chairs were 29.5″ long, so I cut the new ones at 27″. It worked out just right.)Punch or drill the new attachment holes in the ends of the new piece of strapping and put whatever you are using to attach the straps to your chairs in the holes.Heat the new straps by submerging them in a pot of water that is being kept very hot (but not boiling) for at least 2 minutes. It doesn’t hurt the vinyl if it remain in the hot water for more than 2 minutes.When you remove them from the hot water with tongs or pliers be sure you are wearing gloves to protect your hands from being burned. Dry the strap quickly and attach one end to one side of the chair. The vinyl will be very pliable and stretchy for a short time so you can get it wrapped snugly onto the chair and attached to the other side. As it dries it will stiffen up again nicely.IMPORTANT: Take whatever precautions are necessary for you to keep from burning yourself with the hot water and the hot vinyl. This procedure worked well for me, but as the site I found this information on indicates, “You use this procedure at your own risk.” I accept no responsibility if you are injured following these procedures.This is just what worked well for me.
