In Response To: Re: Webbing for springs on a curving frame? (Carol Harris)
Date: 6/10/3 00:49
I have had to cut and fix extra strips of wood to some frames for webbing that wasn't going in right. Usually because the webbing just wouldn't stay put, but the issue here seems to be that you have a concern that the springs will end up as lumpy as the webbing, as it follows the curving frame. Check to see if the springs are about the same legnth when relaxed, if the seem to be two sizes, it may be that they planned it that way and you need to put them in the right spots. If I am right then you don't need to change anything, it seems to me that you need to follow the original configuration and make sure that when you tie the springs that they end up flat across the top of the cushion plane. Cover the springs with a 17 Lb. burlap or heavy canvas and sticth the spings to it, cover that with the decking, and when the cushions go on you shouldn't have any lumps. Then go to the library and pick up a good book on the subject, I think that will help a lot.
