Which models are available for outdoor use?
Outdoor chairs are available in different variations. To be able to make a decision, it makes sense to get an overview of the different models at the beginning. You can choose between the following variants:
RIGID OUTDOOR CHAIRS
They are non-adjustable, robust and therefore particularly suitable for outdoor use. Thanks to the robust materials, such as wood, metal or plastic, the outdoor chairs are weatherproof. They also impress with their functional and minimalist design, making them timeless and modern. Other advantages of these chairs are their stability and durability. Due to the lack of adjustability, they can withstand loads better and have a longer service life. Whether on the patio, balcony or in the garden - outdoor chairs are an eye-catcher anywhere and are also very practical. They are therefore the ideal choice for people looking for durable and easy-care outdoor seating.
FOLDING CHAIRS
Folding chairs for outdoor use are very practical and versatile. Thanks to their mobility and folding mechanism, folding chairs are quick and flexible to set up and take down. They can also be stowed away to save space. As folding seats are generally weatherproof, they are ideal for outdoor use. They are therefore not only perfect for patios and balconies, but also a useful companion for fishing trips or camping. Despite the folding mechanism, the seats are by no means unstable. Thanks to good workmanship and high-quality materials, folding chairs are extremely durable. Whether for a relaxed coffee, a barbecue with friends or a garden party - with these chairs you are always well equipped. If your outdoor chair is foldable, you can simply fold it up as required and stow it away to save space.
STACKING CHAIRS
A stacking chair combines the advantages of the two previous variants. A stacking chair has no folding mechanism and is rigid, but is designed so that up to four or more chairs can be stacked on top of each other. Stacking chairs are therefore an equally space-saving alternative for quickly creating comfortable and robust seating. This is particularly advantageous for events and seasonal use in the garden. Their flexibility also makes stacking chairs the perfect seating option for cafés and beer gardens.
WHAT OTHER FURNITURE IS THERE FOR THE OUTDOOR AREA?
In addition to outdoor chairs, there are many other items that will enhance your garden. For example, a matching outdoor table is a must. Make sure it is made of weather-resistant material, as it is difficult to store a garden table in a weatherproof place due to its size. However, there are also special covers that can protect your table from the weather. Practical models can also be folded up, making them easier to store. Loungers or hammocks can also often be found in gardens. They are particularly comfortable for reading a good book or lying in the sun. Rocking chairs or hanging chairs are also popular pieces of furniture for outdoor use.
What features do outdoor chairs have?
Outdoor chairs have a number of positive features that make them the perfect seating option in any outdoor area. Outdoor chairs have the following advantages, among others:
Flexibility: they are lightweight and portable, so you can move them around as you wish. In the product details, pay attention to the weight of the outdoor chair and its maximum load capacity. If the seating is exposed to higher loads, you should also pay attention to a more stable material. If the opposite is the case, it is advisable to choose a lightweight model. This allows you to move your outdoor chairs back and forth quickly and easily.
Comfort: Outdoor chairs are usually designed to be comfortable despite the focus on functionality. If comfort is particularly important to you, an additional seat cushion can help.
High-quality material: Most outdoor chairs are made of weather-resistant and rustproof materials that guarantee both durability and resistance to wear and tear. The robust chairs are also temperature-resistant and often have a special coating to withstand UV radiation and precipitation. Wooden chairs are particularly popular. They give off warmth even after the sun goes down and thus offer the user a comfortable seating experience. Unfortunately, the material is also the most vulnerable. Although wood is naturally quite robust and weatherproof, it is not resistant. Materials such as plastic or metal therefore remain beautiful for longer, even if they get wet. To keep your wooden chair looking good, it should never be exposed to direct moisture and should be regularly cared for with special products. If damage does occur to the wooden outdoor chairs, it can be sanded down and re-oiled or varnished. However, talk to a specialist beforehand so that the repair is not visible afterwards.
Easy to clean: They require little maintenance, which makes them particularly user-friendly. A damp cloth or garden hose is often enough to clean the outdoor chairs.
Various designs: This practical seating option is available in various designs, colours and materials. This allows you to choose the style that best suits your outdoor area.
Multi-purpose: Outdoor chairs are not only suitable for the garden or patio, but also for picnics, camping trips and other outdoor activities.
