Outdoor Chairs

How to choose the right Outdoor Chairs

• Start by measuring your outdoor area and allowing enough space around each chair for safe movement and comfortable dining.
• Choose materials such as powder-coated steel, PE wicker or durable resin depending on exposure to rain, sea air and daily wear.
• Match chair style and colour to your existing outdoor tables, branding and the atmosphere you want to create front of house.
• Consider stackable or folding models if you need to clear pavements, store furniture overnight or reconfigure layouts frequently.
• Think about comfort for longer sittings, selecting chairs with supportive backs, armrests or contoured seats where needed.
• For high-volume venues, prioritise commercial-grade frames and finishes that can handle constant use and frequent cleaning.

Care and maintenance

• Clean frames and seats regularly with mild detergent and water, avoiding harsh abrasives that can damage coatings or wicker.
• Inspect fixings, joints and feet frequently, tightening screws and replacing worn glides to keep chairs stable and safe.
• Where possible, stack or fold and store Outdoor Chairs indoors or under cover during extreme weather to extend service life.
• Rinse off salt, grime and spilled food or drink promptly to prevent staining and corrosion, especially on metal chairs.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on maximum stacking heights and lifting methods to protect both staff and furniture.
• Schedule periodic deep cleans and visual checks so your outdoor seating always looks presentable for guests.
