Patio Furniture Glide Installation Tips

IMPORTANT:
The wrought iron furniture cups must have a 1-1/2" or 1-1/4" INSIDE diameter.

  • It's normal for the glides to seem too large initially. However, these pressure-fit glides require force for a snug fit to keep them in place over time.
  • If installation proves challenging, try boiling the glides to make them more flexible. This can ease the installation process.
  • Always use a rubber mallet or hammer when installing the glides. Avoid using a regular hammer, as it could cause cracking.
