serpentine spring couch repair

[hippygypsy]

i did this and it did not work. it only stretched the springs out more and now it's even worse. i am going to replace the springs.

I came up with a great solution! check out my video!

Great idea, sorry it didn't last. What about wire, a strong, stranded wire, with a clip to hold the two ends together... have you thought of that??

[rickodemilo]

just what I was looking for! Thanks!

I'm trying to fix my couch, my sister jumped up on it when she saw a mouse, and broke the metal piece that hold spring to the wood. Does anyone know what they're called and where I can get on?

@1000OceansWide

Thery are called spring clips. You can buy it from diyupholsterysupply

@fushizelmyniz 4 months I've waited for an answer, thanks!

excellent idea !!!! use good quality zip ties the don't stretch! i did mine cause my friend said, you will be tired of your sofa in 5 years anyway, get a cheapie, now it is 8way-cable tied!!!

I'm going to use steel wire instead of plastic, Great idea thanks.

Who cares what she sounds like. it was an awesome idea. I just did this. It worked great. Went to Home depot and got really thick zip ties. 14 inch. cost like 40 bucks for this,

Unfortunately, it only lasted about 6 months before I had to replace the ties. They stretch out eventually and break. I've been trying a couple approaches from DIY Upholstery Supply. I'll repost if any work. I couldn't get the twine to work, I think because the couch is too big. everything else costs $100+ between tools and materials. That's a lot of ties, so if you are looking for a shorter term solution, this is still a good way to go.

thkyou brilliant idea better then having nothing wonder why the sofa manufacturer

doesnt do this way

[neberu55]

thank you.. thank you ... thank you !!!!! ive has the same situation and youve helped me greatly.

[rosabw]

Thanks...I have another problem with springs, and wouldn't have thought of ties either. Couches are made so cheap today, and this is a cheap fix.

Long live geeks!!!!

[dorfone]

Thanks, a big help. Ties are brilliant!

Possibly the most boring woman on planet earth!

[quisquis01]

You're brilliant; I would never have thought of cable ties.

[jpp2410]

Great idea I actually fixed my couch following your instructions

thank you!

[DrewKsdy]

Brilliant idea. I have a couch I can't part with and need to repair the exact same type of springs.

Thanks.
