FAQs

What types of chairs can these cords be used for?

These cords are designed for most strung lounge chairs, including standard and XL sizes. They are compatible with chairs from brands like Faulkner, Lafuma, Caravan Sports, XtremepowerUS, and BestChoiceproducts.

How long are the cords included in the kit?

The kit includes two long cords measuring 2.0 meters each, suitable for the leg rest, and two short cords measuring 1.3 meters each, suitable for the backrest.

Are these cords difficult to install?

The cords are designed for easier installation with pre-attached molded metal ends to simplify threading. While it requires some manual effort to pull them taut, the process is generally straightforward for most users.

What material are the replacement cords made of?

The cords are made from high-quality, durable dichotomanthes rope, chosen for its excellent elasticity and stability.

Do I need any special tools to install the cords?

While not strictly required, pliers can sometimes be helpful for gripping and pulling the cords taut. A thin wire or hook might assist in threading if the metal ends encounter resistance.

How should I care for the replacement cords?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth as needed and store them in a dry place. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the rope material.

Can I use these cords for chairs other than lounge chairs?

These cords are specifically designed and tested for strung lounge chairs. Their length and elasticity are optimized for this application, and they may not be suitable for other types of furniture or applications.

Troubleshooting

Cords are too long or too short for my chair.

Measure your chair's specific cord requirements before purchasing. While designed for universal fit, individual chair dimensions vary. If cords are slightly too long, you might be able to adjust by re-tying or tucking the excess. If significantly too short, the kit may not be suitable for your specific chair model.

Difficulty threading the cord through the frame.

Ensure the molded metal ends are securely attached and not bent. Try wiggling the cord gently as you push or pull it through. You can also use a thin, stiff wire or a bent paperclip to help guide the cord if the metal end cannot pass through.

Chair still feels saggy after replacing cords.

Check that the cords are pulled sufficiently taut during installation. Uneven tension can also lead to sagging. Ensure both cords for each section (leg rest and backrest) are tightened equally. Verify that the replacement cords are compatible with the weight capacity of your chair.

Molded metal ends came off the cord.

Contact the manufacturer for a replacement kit, as the ends are intended to be permanent for ease of use. If out of warranty, you may need to use a strong adhesive or clamp a new stopper onto the cord ends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Remove the old, worn-out cords from your lounge chair. This may involve cutting them or untying them from the frame.
  2. Thread the new cords through the designated holes or channels in the chair fabric and frame. Use the molded metal ends to guide the cord.
  3. Start with the longer 2.0m cords for the leg rest section and the shorter 1.3m cords for the backrest section. Ensure you are feeding them through the correct corresponding channels.
  4. Once threaded, pull the cords taut. You may need to use a tool or significant hand strength to achieve the desired tension. The metal ends can be helpful for grip.
  5. Secure the ends of the cords, typically by tucking them back through the grommets or tying them off according to your chair's original design. Ensure the tension is even across the chair for stability.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed to be universal for most strung lounge chairs, including standard and XL sizes. It is confirmed to be compatible with brands such as Faulkner, Lafuma, Caravan Sports, XtremepowerUS, and BestChoiceproducts. However, it is crucial to measure your existing cords and the chair's dimensions to ensure the provided 2.0m and 1.3m lengths are appropriate before purchase.

Care:

  • Clean the cords periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rope.
  • Store the cords in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
  • Regularly check the tension of the cords and re-tighten if necessary to maintain optimal chair support.
