Outdoor Folding Chair
An outdoor folding chair is a lightweight, portable seating option designed for use in external environments. These chairs are characterized by their collapsibility, enabling easy transport and storage.
Material
Frames are commonly constructed from:
- Steel: Offers high strength and durability, but is heavier and susceptible to rust if not properly treated. Powder coating is a common finish to improve rust resistance.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and rust-resistant, making it ideal for frequent transport and varied weather conditions. Generally less robust than steel.
- Alloy Steel: A balance between the strength of steel and the lighter weight.
- Plastic: Often used for lower-cost chairs, offering water resistance but typically with lower weight capacity and durability.
Seat and back materials include:
- Polyester: A common, affordable fabric, often treated for water resistance and UV protection.
- Mesh: Provides breathability, making it comfortable in hot weather.
- Textilene: A woven PVC-coated polyester fabric known for its strength, durability, and resistance to stretching and fading.
- Heavy-duty Canvas: Offers greater durability and a more traditional aesthetic.
Purpose
The primary purpose is to provide portable seating for outdoor activities.
