Can any chair be used outdoors?

Although technically any chair can be brought outdoors, most furniture will not last very long outside. Chairs that are designed to be used outdoors are typically made of much more durable materials than indoor furniture. They often use strong metals such as aluminum or cast iron, durable woods like teak or wicker, heavy plastics, and sturdy fabrics such as canvas. This means you can leave them outside for long periods of time without them getting damaged.Indoor furniture may crack or warp due to the high moisture levels and frequent temperature changes outside. Fabrics or padding can also mold or mildew from the moisture. Or they can be torn more easily by branches or animals.

What types of outdoor chairs are there?

There are many types of chairs for outdoor use. Some are designed for comfortable conversation around a fire pit or patio. Outdoor lounge chairs, rocking chairs, and Adirondack chairs are all great for relaxing, whether you’re enjoying the sun with a good book or some company.If you enjoy having coffee with the sunrise or grilling on the patio, outdoor dining chairs are also a great option. These often come as a patio furniture set with a table. But they can also be bought individually. Outdoor dining chairs can be similar to indoor ones, or you can get benches for a picnic-style aesthetic. Barstools can also be made for the outdoors to go along with your backyard bar.Finally, if you want outdoor chairs that are easy to move, outdoor folding chairs can be set up and put away at a moment’s notice. This is great for adding seating during a party without cluttering up your patio all the time. Folding chairs can also be ideal for small spaces where traditional outdoor furniture might take up too more space than you’d like.

Can outdoor chairs be left outside?

During the warm months or when the weather is nice, outdoor furniture can generally be left outside all the time. However, there are some times you should move your furniture indoors or to a safe, covered location.Although outdoor tables and chairs are designed to withstand moisture and temperature changes, extreme weather can still do damage. Many materials are sturdy when it’s warm but may crack or warp when it starts to freeze. High winds or storms may also blow lightweight chairs around, causing damage as they impact against the ground or other objects.When it comes to rain or snow, some items can be protected by outdoor furniture covers. Some furniture — particularly concrete, natural stone, and wood pieces — can be cleaned and sealed in order to protect it from moisture in the fall and winter.Generally, if you’re able to store your outdoor patio furniture indoors or in a sheltered area like a shed, it’s a good idea to do so whenever there might be inclement weather. Patio furniture can be a large investment, but it can last a long time if properly cared for.

How To Choose the Right Size Chair for Your Space?

Outdoor chairs come in all different sizes and dimensions. To first decide on the right-sized chair, you need to have an idea of the purpose of the space, whether dining, entertainment, or lounging.

For dining chairs, put aside about two square feet for each chair, plus an additional foot or two to push back from the table. If you are looking for more of a lounging situation, ensure there is enough room for the chair to be fully extended, with walking room on each side.

If your primary purpose is entertaining, have a mix of large armchairs and furniture sets interspersed with temporary seating, such as bistro chairs or barstools. Double-check the dimensions of each chair before buying to ensure the best fit.

What To Consider Before You Buy

Understand Your Dimensions

Keep measurements handy of all usable floor space in your outdoor sitting area. Adding too many pieces of furniture clutters an area. Keep walkways clear between the door to your home and the deck or patio for easy flow between zones.

Plan Your Space

Do you need a chair (or two) that guests can pull up around the outdoor dining table? Are you looking for a seat that brings you instant Zen and relaxation? Separate your outdoor spaces into gathering spots, dining areas, and versatile multipurpose layouts depending on your needs.

Choose Durable Materials

Because your outdoor chairs will be exposed to rain, wind, and extended sun exposure, you’ll want to find a style crafted from an enduring material. - Rust-resistant metals such as aluminum, steel, and wrought iron

- Weather-resistant or treated wood such as teak or wicker

- Synthetic materials, such as plastic or resin, will not wear down with the weather

- Durable fabrics that are resistant to fading and mildew

How To Care for Outdoor Chairs

Constant exposure to the elements can cause wear and tear to your favorite outdoor furniture. But while your patio season may have a shelf life, your outdoor chairs can have an extended lifespan if you care for them correctly.

Here are some tips for keeping your outdoor furniture looking brand new for years to come:

- Maintain regular cleaning. Use soap and water to remove dirt and debris before it builds up.

- Use waterproof chair covers or store out of inclement weather when it occurs

- Store them in a dry, covered area when winter comes or in the off-season
