Heavy Duty Vinyl Outdoor Chair strapping
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.

Product Is Very Study - Should Work Well
4/1/2020: We installed the straps on a living room rocking chair that did not have round tubes like typical outdoor chairs. We followed the directions with modifications to account for 'no tubes' including the boiling water requirement. Tried just one strap first and misjudged the amount of stretch and it was more than an inch short. Gave up on the boiling and used exact length which was slightly different for each of the pieces. This worked pretty well - not quite as tight as we would have liked, but adequate. The 10 white "screws' provided would appear to work only for tubes as there were no traditional threads to screw the bolt in, just circular ‘keepers’ meant to hold the strap fast in a metal tube. We fortunately had substitute 'real screws' of the same length and they worked well by predrilling holes in the wood. One improvement would be to include real screws for those who have to screw into wood notwithstanding the instructions saying the straps were meant for tubular chairs. However, we were happy with the results and would give the product four (4) stars when used on non-tubular chairs. We have nothing to report on performance over time as we only installed the straps a few days ago.

Easy to use
Make sure you watch a video on YouTube for instructions. We would’ve done it completely wrong if we didn’t. When completed, looks perfect!

Sturdy product
Worked great. Cut it to the desired length and drill holes in the ends where you will place the rivets. Put in a pot of boiling water for a few seconds to soften, then install.

I fixed my favorite patio chair
My favorite chair snapped a web after many years. I was able to fix the web with enough left over to last a long time. I cut the new web the same length as the broken one, then punched a small hole in the ends. I put the new web in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes to soften it. Then I attached it with the rivet, wrapped it 2 turns then stretched it across. Had to offset it a little to get the rivet placed. As it cooled it tightened up. Sweet. I could have done a better job of color matching but who cares. You can do it.

Little stiff to work with but heavy duty material
I used the strapping to replace the staps under my chairs seat cushions. Product is a little stiff to work with, but if you boil it and use it while it's warm, it is more flexible and does the job. Overall the strapping is heavy duty and did the job.

Price
Lack of screws to attach is my only complaint. Since you charge so much for the strapping including screws seems appropriate. The product appears good.

19.5feet not long enough for the job planned
The media could not be loaded. Don't appreciated being shorted on what we paid for. Will be returning this.
