Your Fast Intro To Deck Chairs

In life it's often the simple things which give us the most pleasure and deck chairs are a perfect example. With a host of convenient advantages, it is no wonder that their design has not changed since they were introduced so many years ago. Here is your fast introduction to a type of furniture which will always be in style and of course demand.

Simple Convenience

While its design was originally made to be used on the decks of ships, today this chair and its features can be taken advantage of by anyone at home. Made up of only two basic parts a wooden frame, and a fabric seat, deck chairs were also designed to fold down completely flat to save a huge amount of space. The wooden frame is often made from attractive woods like eucalyptus and the seat from canvas or polyester. The seat is referred to as a sling and is attached to the frame on two ends, with no cushions needed. Colorful slings combined with the natural look of wood can be incredibly attractive and is one of the top reasons people purchase them. Since they do so save so much space they are easy to keep in closets, garages, sheds, basements, or wherever you store your extra things. Plus they are easy to carry which means no hassle taking them out and putting them away but also if you decide to move to a sunnier or shadier spot it's a cinch.

Versatility That Is Unmatched

Next to the pool deck chairs are one of the best sun bathing or lounging options. However they are also perfect for use in the garden to read a book, nap, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Many homeowners use them on the patio when having their morning coffee or tea since their comfort can't really help to start the day in a relaxed way. Deck chairs also make for fantastic looking guest seating instead of cheap plastic furniture since you can keep so many in such small storage space and easily take out however many you need. Other than at home, because these chairs are so easy and convenient to use many people utilize them on the beach, in the woods, for fishing, portable seating when taking road trips in cars and RV's., and for all types of sporting events.

More Options Than Most Realize

You might also see two other types of furniture that are advertised as deck chairs but don't look the same as the traditional variety described above. While they are different they both can be an excellent choice if they fit your needs. A marine deck chair is made to be a portable chair used on boats. They are much safer than using other types of chairs not made for this job since they are sturdy and designed not to fall or fold when the seas get rough. They also only use materials that can handle the extreme weather and conditions of the ocean. Portable deck chairs are the other type, and these look almost the same as camping chairs, but are actually much stronger, a little wider, and able to handle much more weight.

As you can see deck chairs are not only handy but attractive and versatile as well. To make the most of your summer fun and relaxation plus add a splash of color, be sure to consider this classic option. And don't forget for camping and boating both portable and marine deck chairs are great ways to go too!


The Different Types Of Outdoor Furniture

Whether it is a deck, a sun room, a patio or a porch, you would need to furnish it with some outdoor furniture. Furniture that is placed outdoors comes in a wide variety of price ranges and styles. Depending on the furniture styles and needs, you can select individual pieces and furniture units. Here are some types of furniture.

Plastic resin and plastic furniture

There are tables that are full sized for outdoor arrangements in plastic resin as well as chaise lounges to relax along with smaller ones for an arrangement that is more casual. Plastic furniture is one of the most popular choices in outdoor furniture since it is weather proof and does not get easily damaged. It is also easy to clean plastic outdoor furniture. However, most pieces of plastic furniture are highly inexpensive and can be purchased easily from a store that sells them. One of the drawbacks of plastic furniture is that they are lightweight in construction and when an umbrella is used with them, they tip easily.

Powder cast aluminium furniture

This kind of furniture is stronger as compared to furniture made of plastic resin. It often has designs that are a little more intricate and is also highly expensive. Cast aluminium furniture often features the other materials while constructing it such as tables having glass tops, etc. Cast aluminium has different qualities. So, the price range is higher than that of plastic outdoor furniture. In order to get a more elegant space, you would find more design options in cast aluminium and they will wear nicely.

Wooden furniture

Cedar is the popular choice in wood that is used in the construction of furniture. You will get many individual pieces such as gliders, swings, benches, and chairs in many stores. You can also custom order sets from stores. Wooden furniture is a little more expensive as compared to other outdoor furniture. If properly cared for, it will last you a lifetime or even longer.

Custom furniture

You might want to consider matching and mixing pieces of different types of construction, whether it is plastic with PVC or wood with any other material. The furniture should be practical, but comfortable. So, also keep in mind the frequency of its usage while deciding how much to spend. Garden retailers and large lawn retailers, home improvement centers, etc. have a lot of outdoor furniture with them. Before you can buy furniture, you could also compare the prices at online stores that would give you a wide range of options to choose from.
