Confused about Leg Straps?
When purchasing a rug from the Skye Park range you can often choose the sort of leg straps you want on your rug. Here is a brief explanation of the various styles.
WEBBING SNAPS AND DEES
Strong webbing leg straps in either black or white depending on the rug required with a trigger snap on the end which attaches to a dee attached to the back of the rug. The leg strap is adjusted with a slider. Should you have issues with the snap at any time, it is easily removed and replaced without a visit to the local rug repairer. The leg strap is permanently attached to the rug with a strong webbing patch on the inside of the rug
SAFETY BACK LEG STRAPS
About 19 years ago Skye Park Rugs came up with a brilliant way to attach the leg strap at the back of the rug. There is no snap fitting on the end of the leg strap. The snap has been replaced with a metal square. This square is then pushed up through the back fitting and a tongue slides through to hold it all in place. Generally this fitting outlasts the life of the rug. Very safe, very strong, very efficient. Leg straps made from strong pliable Biothane.
BIOTHANE SNAPS AND DEES
Strong pliable Biothane leg straps in either black or white depending on the rug required with a trigger snap on the end which attaches to a dee attached to the back of the rug. The leg strap is adjusted with a roller slider. Should you have issues with the snap at any time, it is easily removed and replaced without a visit to the local rug repairer. The leg strap is permanently attached to the rug from the outside to give maximum strength.
ALTERING LEG STRAP LENGTH
Leg straps not long enough. Skye Park webbing and PVC leg straps are generous and provide lots of adjustment within the strap, although extra long straps are available upon request.
To alter a leg strap with a slider, either PVC or webbing: ensure there is at least 10cm of tail on the open end of the leg strap, then simply slide the slider towards to the snap or clip and you will gain extra leg strap length.
