Patio Chairs

Sitting back in a patio chair is a delightful way to take in the evening, watch a sunset or relax during a backyard barbecue. You can put a couple of patio chairs on a balcony to enjoy the view or supplement a larger patio furniture set to accommodate more guests.

For temporary outdoor seating that you can store as needed, consider foldable outdoor chairs. If you want to rest by the pool or sit back and put your feet up, reclining patio lounge chairs are a perfect option. Patio bar stools are great if you have a high table or an outdoor bar. And a rocking patio chair is a peaceful place to take a breather after a long day.

When it comes to materials and style, you have a lot of options. Wicker chairs and wood patio chairs are classic options. Aluminum patio chairs are great if you want a lightweight metal patio chair. Plastic and resin patio chairs have become popular for their durability and style options as well.

Whenever you are choosing new patio furniture, you should take your climate, the intended use and the layout of your space into account. For instance, if you plan on sitting outside when it gets chilly, you might want a cushioned patio chair that provides some insulation rather than a breathable poolside chair. You may also benefit from patio heaters or a firepit.

If you have a grill and want to use your outdoor furniture for enjoying meals in the fresh air, make sure that the chairs you choose are a comfortable height to work with a patio table. You might pair chairs with an outdoor dining table or a patio side table for supporting drinks and small plates.

Measure your space, especially if it is a limited space, like a porch or balcony. You don’t want to choose deck chairs or porch chairs that leave no room for anything else. If you have an outdoor rocking chair or you are installing a porch swing, make sure you also leave room for the motion.
