Title: Looking for steel webbing
Post by: MinUph on May 24, 2012, 04:00:11 pm
Who handles this now a days? Not Never sag with the built in spring holders just flat steel webbing. And Strong Hold nails.
As a side does Burch Co. still offer supplies? I see no mention of it on the site.

Yes, Burch still has a nice supply catalog. I can send you my old '09 copy if you want.
They have 300 ft. rolls of Anchor steel webbing listed in it. It has the nail holes punched in it.
They also have the  1" Stronghold nails in a box of 500.

Thanks Sofa. I threw my catalog out it was pretty old.

It's been a few years since we've carried it.  What is the use for steel webbing?

It's used to reinforce jute or poly webbing.

Thanks, Sofadoc.  Does it go on top of the jute (across) over the frame?

Yes, but Anchor steel webbing is not to be confused with Never-sag steel webbing, which actually takes the place of jute webbing.

Anchor steel webbing isn't used much anymore. Probably because most everything has No-sags, or some type of elastic webbing.

I'm not surprised that you don't carry it anymore. I don't think that it was ever a hot after-market item. Too bad, it can be very effective in the right circumstance.

This is why they make steel webbing for furniture.
