Types of
outdoor chairs
Outdoor chairs come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, styles and
designs. Each of the materials that they are made from comes
with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and
requirements. Generally speaking, we can think of outdoor chairs
in two broad categories – portable and non-portable. They must
all share the characteristics of being able to support warm,
cold, and wet weather, but they will all do so with varying
degrees of success.
The first kind of non-portable chair is the standard plastic
chair. These outdoor chairs are the most water resistant, PVC is
not generally affected by water at all, but they can be damaged
by exposure to UV rays. Direct sunlight will give colored PVC
that is not protected a washed out look after a while.
Then there are wood and wood/metal combination outdoor chairs.
These have the advantage of being highly decorative, and the
metal parts will be resistant to hot and cold. However, unless
the metal is treated regularly, it can rust if made from iron,
and tends to be quite heavy if you want to move it around.
The wooden part in some outdoor chairs needs also to be treated
after purchase, otherwise wet weather may cause it to rot.
Otherwise, wood makes a very durable, pretty chair material
which resists most atmospheric conditions.
Folding chairs are ideal for taking away on holiday, and outdoor
chairs of this kind can also be very comfortable. Indeed, many
people buy folding chairs for use at home because they can be
easily stored and carried from place to place.
