A web stretcher is used to stretch out webbing for items such as chairs, sofas and beds. It is important that webbing is held taut to provide a firm platform for the upholstery.
The web stretcher is used to hold the webbing tightly in place over the item, so it can be secured onto the object with nails or staples.
A web stretcher is an important tool as webbing is used in most upholstery applications, as well as in the re-upholstering of items such as dining chairs.
Re-upholstering has become more popular in recent years with the trend of DIY upscaling and recycling furniture.
