About Notched Replacement Chaise Slings
A notched chaise lounge sling is a one-piece replacement sling with a rectangular cutout (the notch) that gives clearance around hardware sticking out of the rail - usually the adjustment bracket, recline hinge, or bolt heads on certain chaise frame designs.
Without the notch the sling can't sit flat against the rails or feed all the way into the spline channel.
Notched chaises are common on adjustable poolside lounges from brands that have a visible hinge or ratchet between the seat rail and the back rail.
Every notched chaise sling we ship is custom-cut and hand-sewn in our USA workroom from your measurements, with the notch placed exactly where the old fabric is cut.
Nothing is stocked; each sling is made to order to fit your specific frame.
How to Measure a Notched Chaise Sling
Take all five measurements to the nearest 1/8 inch, with the old sling still installed on the chaise if possible.
- Top Width: rail-channel to rail-channel at the top of the back.
- Front Width: rail-channel to rail-channel at the front of the seat.
- Seat Length: rail-channel length along the seat rail.
- Back Length: rail-channel length along the back rail.
- Overall Length: total length from the front of the seat to the top of the back.

Email a photo of the existing sling through our contact page and we'll review your information before you order.
Spline Sizes
Every replacement notched chaise sling includes vinyl spline to lock it into the rail channels.
Pick the spline thickness that matches your existing spline: 1/4" (most common) or 5/16".
We send a continuous roll of roughly 10 to 14 feet of spline per chaise that will need to be cut during installation.
We also sell vinyl spline cord separately by the foot that can be cut to your desired length.
Sling Fabric Options
Choose from three families of solution-dyed outdoor sling fabric.
All are UV-stable, mildew-resistant, and rated for poolside use:
- Sunbrella Sling: 100% solution-dyed acrylic and vinyl-coated polyester yarns. Premium grade, soft to the touch, fade resistance, and a five-year fabric warranty.
- Phifertex: vinyl-coated polyester mesh with hundreds of solid and jacquard patterns. Excellent breathability and a great value compared to Sunbrella.
- Textilene: PVC-coated polyester woven sling fabric. Strong, easy to clean, and the standard choice for many original-equipment patio furniture brands.
