How to Measure a Two Piece Chaise

How to Measure a Two-Piece Chaise for Replacement Slings

In order to obtain the width of the chaise lounge top, a measurement must be taken from center rail to center rail of the chaise top frame. Imagine a center line that runs the length of the slot in the chaise rails. This is the center point of the rail. Take a measurement from one center point to the opposite center point of the chaise top sling rails.

When measuring the frame for width, two measurements should be taken. NET PATIO FURNITURE has found it best to measure in areas where the bolts and spreader bars are attached. Measure at least six inches down from the top of the chaise lounge and few inches up from the bottom when measuring for width.

Please do not provide measurements taken from the very top of the chair rails as they tend to naturally flair out overtime. Always measure at least six inches down from the top of the chair frame.

Take the average of the two measurements and round to the nearest eighth of an inch and this will be the width of the chaise lounge top.

Chaise Top Length

To arrive at the length, measure the length of the chaise top sling rail from top to bottom using a cloth measuring tape. Take a measurement from the very edge of the chaise top rail down to the bottom edge.

Be sure that the measuring tape rests flat along with the chaise back and does not move out of position while measuring.

Chaise Bottom Width

The measurements for the chaise bottom will be taken exactly as the top measurements were taken. Take two measurements for width. For best results, take the measurements where the bolts attach on the patio chaise lounge bottom. Take one measurement near the seat of the chaise lounge frame and another measurement where your feet would rest on the chaise bottom.

Chaise Bottom Length

Measure the length for the chaise bottom just as you did for the chaise top. In most cases, it is best to measure where the existing sling is currently installed. DO NOT measure the entire length of the rail if it prohibits the chaise top from being adjusted up and down.
