Depending on the amount of use, a new jute-webbing job can last 8 to 15 years. When installed in a furniture item that has to support a lot of weight, the jute webbing needs to be stretched tight using a webbing stretcher with its nail-like teeth providing a good grip.
For added durability, the fixing also requires a row of 5/8" or 9/16"staples or 12oz to 16oz tacks.
