Pirelli Rubber Webbing / Rubber Webbing Clips

Use our heavy metal clips, made especially for the Pirelli webbing, to fasten two-inch rubber webbing to the frame. These clips are needed for Henry Link, Morris and Mission-style chairs.

You'll need two clips for each strip of webbing.

Price is by the clip: input desired quantity before clicking "add to cart

1. Grab a pencil, paper and a tape measure.
   
   
2. For your furniture frame, think rows (the width if the seat) and columns (length of the seat from front to back). You'll need to interweave the webbing to get a firm, solid surface / seat. Some people only span one side and not interweave. While this saves money upfront, the seat will sag much sooner and will not be comfortable. Perhaps you've already experienced this? Why skimp on materials when you're spending the time and effort to repair something that you want to last?
   
   
3. For this example, we're going to use a seat frame that is 20" wide (side to side), and 18" long (front to back).
   
   Get ready for some simple math, and if you need some help, enlist a teenager, because they know everything, right? 🤣
   
   
4. Grab that tape measure and measure the width (side-to-side) of your seat frame. Write that number down and divide by 2. The reason why we're dividing by 2 is because the webbing is 2" wide. This measurement will determine how many columns are needed to go across. For our example, a 20" width needs 10 columns (10 ÷ 2" = 10 columns).

   

5. Now do the same, but in the other direction (side-to-side). This will determine how many "rows" you need to span side-to-side. For example, an 18" length needs 9 rows (18" ÷ 2" = 9 rows).

   

6. Let's now focus on the columns (front-to-back). This next measurement will tell us how many inches we need to cover all the columns. Remember how you wrote down 10 columns? Now multiply that number by the height of your frame, which for our example, is 18". Here's what that looks like: 10 columns x 18" length = 180 inches)
   
   
7. We're going to do the same thing for the rows (side-to-side). This measurement will tell us how many inches we need to cover all the rows. Multiply the number of rows (9) by the width of your frame. For our example, this would be 9 rows x 20" length = 180 inches)
   
   
8. Now we're going to add the rows and columns together to get the (almost) total amount of inches of webbing you'll need. Continuing with this example: 180" (columns) + 180" (rows) = 360 total inches.

   

9. You're doing great! And that teenager isn't even near you.
   
   
10. Now convert the inches to feet, so:
    
    360 (total inches) ÷ 12 (one foot) = 30 feet
    
    
11. Almost there! You'll need to add a few extra feet to account for stretching/pulling, etc. Remember: you'll need to grip the webbing to pull and affix to the clip or frame, which means you'll need something to hold onto. Better to be safe and order a few extra feet than to order under and be short in the middle of a project.
    
    
12. We strongly recommend the following for projects requiring:
    • less than 20 feet: add two more feet
    • 20 - 40 feet: add three more feet
    • 50 - 70 feet: add four more feet
13. Continue adding one foot for every 25-30 feet as such. Thus, the total amount needed for this example:
    33 running feet
    
    
14. Extremely important note: we strongly recommend you cut each length only after you've measured the distance the strip of webbing will span. If you pre-cut all the strips at the onset, you risk wasting material if all the spanning distances are not uniform.
    
    
15. Congrats! You did it! Woohoo!!!
