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.
