How to Web a Couch Before Reupholstering

    • 1). Cut the frayed or uneven end of the webbing with sharp scissors. Place the cut end over the center of the couch’s seat frame and pull it by 1 inch beyond the frame. Insert three staples to secure the webbing to the frame. Fold the extended section over itself and insert staples between the previous ones to hold it in place and keep it from unraveling.

    • 2). Extend the webbing to the opposite side of the couch seat frame and attach it to the teeth of a webbing stretcher. Pull the stretcher taut across the frame and maintain the pressure before stapling it to the frame.

    • 3). Measure and cut the webbing 1 inch beyond the edge of the frame. Repeat the process of folding the cut end over itself and stapling it in place. Continue to place parallel webbing straps every 1 to 2 inches in the same direction across the frame, until the couch seat is completely covered.

    • 4). Push the end of the webbing under the first strap, flush against the corner of the frame. Insert the webbing over and under the previous parallel straps until you reach the other end of the frame. This crosspiece is inserted in the opposite direction to the previous straps.

    • 5). Pull the end of the strap in the previous step 1 inch beyond the frame before inserting staples to secure it in place. Fold the 1 inch edge over itself and staple again. Secure the other end of this strap to a stretcher and pull it taut all the way along the seat.

    • 6). Insert a row of staples to attach the end of the stretched strap to the frame. Cut the strap 1 inch beyond the frame, fold the excess over itself and staple to the frame. Repeat the process of weaving straps of webbing through the previous ones, but alternate the weave pattern until the seat is covered.
