Outdoor Chairs For Every Outdoor Space

Whether it’s a shady spot in the garden, on a compact balcony or out in a family-sized pergola, we have the outdoor chairs to transform that space into an inviting place to relax, dine and entertain.

What is an outdoor chair?

Outdoor chairs come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, designs and materials. From classic, timeless and always popular timber and wicker outdoor chairs to stackable polypropylene and lightweight aluminium, there is a vast selection of outdoor chairs designed to provide comfort, style and durable resilience in outdoor conditions.

Outdoor chairs do need a degree of care and maintenance but they are designed to be waterproof or water repellent, and UV stabilised to resist damage caused by exposure to

moisture and UV rays.

Outdoor chairs may sit undercover in a pergola or alfresco or outside exposed to the weather, depending on the construction. Our wide range of outdoor chairs incorporates:

• Outdoor lounges
• Patio chairs
• Outdoor folding chairs

Which are the best outdoor chairs?

The secret to designing the perfect outdoor space is choosing the best outdoor chairs for your environment, lifestyle, and available space.

You’ll find a variety of materials used to make outdoor chairs including:

• Powder coated steel
• Aluminium
• Solid timber
• UV resistant PE wicker
• UV resistant rattan
• Plastic and polypropylene

Many outdoor chair designs will incorporate more than one material and often come with UV resistant seat and back cushions. Regardless, it is still a good idea to protect your outdoor furniture from the elements wherever possible, either by:

1. Storing seat cushions or chairs during unfavourable weather.
2. Oiling or waxing your timber outdoor chairs regularly.
3. Using outdoor furniture covers.
4. Providing some shade protection such as with an outdoor umbrella.

To ensure you choose the best outdoor chairs for your space, consider your prevailing weather conditions first and foremost:

1. In places with intense dry summer heat, UV resistant materials will be important unless your outdoor chairs are fully undercover.
2. In humid conditions choose materials which resist mildew and mould.
3. In windy conditions choose heavy outdoor chairs.
4. If your outdoor chairs need to be moved frequently, choose lightweight, folding or stackable outdoor chairs.

Consider how your outdoor chairs will be used - are they for family dining outdoors, outdoor entertaining, outdoor relaxation or do they need to be multi-functional, for both dining and relaxing like the beautiful Riana 6 piece outdoor setting?

Affordable outdoor chairs which are easy for young children to get on and off are ideal for families. Consider the black Amarillo outdoor chairs made from sturdy steel and rattan or bench seats such as the Elwood bench seat made from aluminium and Weathergrain faux timber.

Patio table and chairs sets such as the Anchor 3 piece outdoor setting or the Replica Adirondack chairs are ideal for small outdoor spaces.

The best casual outdoor chairs for relaxation span:

1. Outdoor hanging egg chairs such as Sanibel, Aviara and Braye
2. Outdoor lounges with canopies such as the Asbury or the St Kilda daybed
3. Outdoor lounges in a wide variety of sizes and designs
4. Outdoor deck chairs like the Amari perfect for poolside
5. Feature outdoor chairs such as the Joy outdoor sun chair or the Bede outdoor nest chair.
