When you need some extra seating on your patio, deck or lawn, outdoor folding chairs are the way to go. Their foldability makes them ideal to break out when you have lots of guests and easily fold up and store when not needed. Forgot leaving all of those chairs out in the elements or crowding up your garage; with your new outdoor folding chair set you can discreetly stash them away and keep them in tip-top condition for your next big bash.

Which material is best for outdoor folding chairs?


Since all folding lawn chairs are fairly easy to carry and move around, material is more of an aesthetic preference. Wooden folding chairs will look substantial and high quality, and can suit styles from rustic to modern. Be careful leaving wood out in the rain though, as not all woods will tolerate the moisture and will thus have a shorter lifespan. The same goes for metal — while they will no doubt be sturdy and bring an industrial look to your space, leaving them out in the hot sun or rain can cause them to rust, depending on the type of metal. If you do plan to leave your folding patio chairs outside for a substantial amount of time, you might consider going with plastic so they are easy to clean and will withstand the elements. Much like their indoor relatives, outdoor fold up chairs benefit from comfortable outdoor cushions, regardless of their material.

Which outdoor folding chair features should I look for?


Since you are likely purchasing folding patio chairs so that you have the freedom to add and remove them for seasonal activities, look for features that will come in handy for your intended activities. Will they be used for relaxation? Find an adjustable folding lounge chair that can recline into multiple positions. Plan on catching a few rays in the summertime? Look for outdoor folding chairs with built-in cup holders for a cool drink. Will they be used at a dining table? Make sure they will fit under the table if they have arms. Lastly, consider how your folding patio chairs will be stored; if you want them to have a little extra protection, get a set that comes with storage bags.
