Garden chairs by material – wood, metal or plastic?
The material plays a key role in determining the appearance, durability and maintenance requirements of your garden chairs. Each material has its own advantages, which prove their worth in different ways depending on how the furniture is used and where it is placed. If you choose the right material for your needs, you’ll enjoy your garden furniture for many years to come.
Wood is a good choice for anyone who appreciates natural materials and timeless elegance. Hardwoods such as teak, acacia or eucalyptus are naturally weather-resistant and develop a silver-grey patina over time – or retain their original colour if you oil them regularly. Garden and patio chairs made of wood, in shades of brown and natural tones, blend harmoniously into natural garden designs – though you should bear in mind that they require annual maintenance with a suitable oil. If you’re looking for a robust wooden look, it’s worth taking a look at our hardwood garden chairs – here you’ll find models made from various types of wood.
Garden chairs made from metal and aluminium are a good option when stability combined with light weight is required. Aluminium doesn’t rust and can be moved around effortlessly – ideal if you want to arrange your patio chairs flexibly depending on the occasion. Powder-coated steel – often available in anthracite, white or grey – offers additional robustness, but weighs considerably more. For a modern patio, aluminium garden chairs can be a suitable choice, such as a stackable aluminium garden chair with a simple design.
Plastic, rattan, poly rattan and wicker are ideal when ease of care is particularly important. Modern synthetic fibres such as poly rattan combine the elegante look of rattan with high UV and moisture resistance – whilst requiring significantly less maintenance than natural wicker. Rattan patio chairs are also very popular. Whether in anthracite, beige or black – wicker garden chairs complement almost any colour scheme. A damp cloth is all you need to clean them, and if it rains, there’s no need to rush the chairs indoors straight away. Woven garden chairs in brown, anthracite or black blend seamlessly into almost any outdoor space. Models made from poly rattan with a comfortable seat shell are particularly popular.
Stackable, foldable or high-back – which design suits you best?
In addition to the material, the design plays a crucial role in choosing your garden chairs. Think in advance about how much space you have available, how often the chairs will be moved, and what’s most important to you – space-saving storage, quick assembly and disassembly, or maximum seating comfort.
Stackable garden chairs are particularly well suited to patios and balconies where space is limited. At the end of the season, six to eight chairs can be stacked on top of one another, taking up barely more space than a single chair. Stackable chairs are also handy for spontaneous visitors – they’re ready in seconds. In our range, you’ll find stackable models made from various materials, such as a stackable metal patio chair.
Folding garden chairs are ideal when mobility is a priority. Whether it’s an evening on the balcony or a quick set-up for a party – folding chairs can be folded away and stowed in a jiffy. Folding balcony chairs can be a practical solution, particularly for smaller outdoor spaces, when flexibility is key. If you’re looking for a lightweight, folding balcony chair, you’ll find suitable models in our range made from wood, aluminium or plastic – including weather-resistant versions.
If you place particular importance on seating comfort, you should opt for a high-back chair with an adjustable backrest The high backrest supports your neck and shoulders, whilst you can adjust the angle continuously to your favourite position. Models with armrests offer additional support – garden chairs without armrests, on the other hand, look more delicate and are easier to slide up to the table. For a classic seating arrangement with individual chairs for four to six people, you’ll often need a table measuring at least 200 × 100 cm. Garden chairs sold as a set—whether a set of two, four, or even six—often offer better value for money than buying them individually.
Weatherproof garden chairs – what to look out for
Garden furniture is exposed to wind, rain and intense sunlight. To ensure your garden chairs still look inviting even after several years, it’s worth checking the weather resistance of the material you choose.
Aluminium and high-quality synthetic materials such as poly rattan are considered particularly weather-resistant – they do not absorb water and hardly fade at all. Weather-resistant garden armchairs made from these materials can be left outdoors all year round without any problems. Wood, on the other hand, benefits from a protective cover during the winter months and annual maintenance with a suitable oil or varnish. When buying, look out for UV-resistant coatings and rust-free fastenings – then you’ll be able to enjoy your garden chairs for many years to come.
At the same time, the combination of weather resistance and stackability is well worth it: weather-resistant, stackable Outdoor chairs can be stored away to save space at the end of the season and are ready for use the moment the sun comes out again. Weatherproof garden chairs don’t have to be expensive: even affordable models made from coated aluminium or plastic will last for many years with the right care. At the same time, our range also includes high-quality, weatherproof garden armchairs for those who place particular value on durability and comfort.
