Having video recorded the dis assembly of my sofa, fitting the new “nailed metal tack strip” was simple. I bought a longer than needed size so as to trim prior to fitting. Very good quality product very good price.
Recovering the top of an old Lloyd loom single seat ottoman I found this gave a very neat finish down the two long sides, but was not able to use it on the two shorter sides because of the length of the tacks and the lack of manoeuvrability in the fabric once the two long sides were fixed in place.
It was great. First time I’ve done this and it did the job well.
I’m relatively new to upholstery, had bought some tack strips from Amazon which were very flimsy and too short, not true to the stated size. These from Black Barn are great. Sturdy, perfect size, very easy to work with, I’ll definitely be buying them again.
