We do not make a double layer style sling (pillowcase sling) where the frame is covered by the sling as well as a padded sling. 

There is no way to tell exactly how long patio slings will last. If your furniture remains outdoors, your replacement sling will last an average of 5 to 8 years depending on where you live and how you maintain the slings.

No. An old sling stretches over time, therefore it is not an accurate measurement. You must measure your sling while it is installed. 

It all depends on the type of furniture you have. You only need some basic tools and a sling rail spreader tool DeWalt 36 in trigger spreader/clamp), which is required in most chair sling installations.

Our sling fabrics are made of PVC coated polyester. It is a high quality fabric made in the USA which has UV protection and is specially designed for outdoor use. 

Sling orders are processed in the order they are received. All our slings are custom made and must be produced. The processing time is usually an average of 2 to 3 weeks excluding shipping time. The shipping time will be based on the carrier and shipping method selected at checkout. 

Yes, you can order sling fabric by the yard. In order to make your own sling, you will need a heavy duty sewing machine as well as a UV protected thread for outdoor use.

If your chair has a bar welded to the frame, you will need to email us a picture before you place an order. Since it is a difficult installation, we need to get a picture from you in order to allow us to determine whether you will be able to install the sling yourself.

We install slings in South Florida (Palm Beach county, Broward county and Miami Dade county). You can call us at 561-425-2731 to inquire. 

Most chairs' rods have a medium spline (7/32" in diameter). A few chair models have large spline (¼" in diameter). A smaller size spline is also available, since it is used only in some particular furniture brands.
If you do not select the size of the rod when placing an order, we will by default ship your slings with the medium size spline.

Outdoor furniture should be cleaned periodically with a multipurpose cleaner; we recommend Casual Clean Multipurpose Cleaner. Routine cleaning will help enhance the appearance and extend the life of your patio furniture. This cleaner attacks the sun-baked dirt and mildew stains. Dilute with water for less difficult cleaning jobs.
Hose down. Dilute 1 part of Casual Clean Multipurpose Cleaner to 5 parts of water. Scrub using a nylon brush, sponge or a cloth. Rinse thoroughly and leave in the sun to dry. To prolong the life and beauty of your fabric, we recommend that a towel be placed over the sling when using any tanning or insect repellent products. Should any of these products come in contact with the fabric, wash and rinse immediately as noted above.
Do not use bleach, solvent-based cleaners, or water temperature of 100 degrees. Do not put sling in the swimming pool.

No, all the fabric that we sell is equivalent in terms of durability and quality since they are all made of PVC coated polyester. The only differences are the weaving pattern and texture.
