Very informative videos, but I have a question regarding the webbing. My chairs currently have the cutout and webbing and I wondered if I could use a solid piece of plywood instead to provide more support. The cushions now have 2” foam and it feels like you sink in too far. Also, would it be beneficial to use 3” foam instead of just replacing the 2”?
Hello, Sorry for this late reply we have very busy here lately. Thank you for the question. To your question YES! To both it will give you more support however it will a bit firmer. You can use 3" foam, for sure however with 3" at compression 45 that is used for 2" on a solid plywood board could feel pretty firm. With 3" maybe consider going with 32 Med-firm compression. I hope this has help and is not too late. Please share the videos it helps us when you do. All the best
Love you, guys! Very informative. I’m want to change my slip seats from wrapped cane to foam. Will I need to now use webbing to secure the open to cut-out middle?
Thanks Melinda, Love having you viewing the video. I think I understand what you are asking and YES! Webbing will work perfectly for the support you need. The RED stripe on the jute webbing is for seating really strong.There is a green and black stripe, if you are using jute. Synthetic is very strong, works well, I just favor jute. Please let us know how it goes send Photos to videos@urbancastlesolutions.com . Thank you again, please share the video, it really helps Grant and I out when you do. All the best, Paul
Hey guys! Your videos are so helpful! I have a question about the thickness of foam for dining room chairs. I want to redo mine with new foam as well as fabric, but I would like for the seats to be higher. The iron frame of the chairs would definitely accommodate that, but I'm wondering if there are guidelines to help me choose how thick I should make the foam? Today, it's about 2 inches, but I'd like it to be 3 to 4. Does that seem reasonable? Also, like most dining chairs, the seat is more narrow at the back then the front. Should I attempt to cut a square piece of foam myself? Or is custom ordered to fit a better route to go? Thanks for such an informative and fun format to your instruction!
I love watching your videos...very informative and perfect chemistry btw you too. Thank you! A question: Can OSB be used instead of plywood for the seats? It is much cheaper, but not sure if it is strong enough.

I have a kitchen chair on rollers, and it leans, back, the wood in the seat broke in half. It has a cloth seat, which is good. Do you know who could fix it?
Hey there Rob, thanks for watching the video super glad you did. You can get padding at ucprivatecourses.com I hope this helps you. Please if you haven’t already subscribe and share, it helps us when you do. Cheers, Paul
Hi, you two. You are adorable together! Question is should I use 1" or 2" foam. My chairs are used ALOT and I don't want a "brick" but my friend has dining room chairs that are oh so comfy. I think there must be 2 layers of foam in them because they are firm yet when you sit in them you have a "sinking down really comfortable seating" without an unattractive "dip" in the chair. My friends' dining room chairs are the only ones I can sit in for hour without hurting my back. (I have serious nerve issues at the base of the spine. I would love to replicate her chairs. So I guess the big question is if I "stack" the foam what type of foam (thickness, density, compression) should I get. Thanks so much
Hey, thanks so much watching out videos! Great question! To get a better idea of what they did for your friends dining seats, how thick would you say those dining seats are? If they did do two different foam pieces in the dining chairs it would most likely be a firm one on the bottom and a super soft one on top. Let me know when you can about the thickness of your friends dining chairs, and I will be happy help you the best I can!
HI Abby, I like to use 3/4" Ply, but a 1/2" will work. Look for hardwood ply. Red oak or Birch is common and works well. Thank you for checking out our video. Cheers, Paul
Hey Gwen, Here is my ridiculously slow reply. I really fell behind on replying to the comments. THANK YOU for watching and your comment above all. The BEST staple gun I have ever owned is a Rainco. R1B 7C-16 made in Italy. I have shot this stapler for eight years with NO seal leaks at all, still working strong. I have two other staplers, they tanked in a very short time. Pretty cheap in price, "well you get what you pay for". Please if you have another question fire away, I can reply in 6 months. LOL (: . Thanks again for watching and the comment. All the Best friend, Paul
