Application
Straps from vinyl manufacturers are normally supplied in rolls, which can be cut into individual straps of any desired length. However, some furniture manufacturers or retailers may sell individual and cut-to-fit straps. The most common strap sizes are 1.5 and 2 inches wide.
Vinyl straps are attached to a powder-coated aluminum frame and fastened using a plastic or nylon rivet. There are other means of fastening and rivets can also be made of aluminum.
Furniture is often strapped using a method called double wrap where the strap is wrapped around the frame, the fastening rivet, and itself on each end. This makes it very difficult for the strap to pull away from the frame and normally requires the strap to be cut in order to remove it.
Strapping patterns include horizontal and basketweave.

Famous quotes containing the word application:
“If you would be a favourite of your king, address yourself to his weaknesses. An application to his reason will seldom prove very successful.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
