Outdoor Chaise Lounge
An outdoor chaise lounge can be commonly seen poolside.
The chaise lounge chair originally created in the 1500’s during
the renaissance period. The long chair was designed specifically for
lounging and soon found its way outdoors when it arrived in America.
An outdoor chaise lounge should be weather and water resistant. Most
lounges are made from plastic and stainless steel. If a wood chaise
is chosen make sure the wood can withstand the weather, such as teak.
A slatted design will allow water to drain instead of pooling where
one sits. Cushions should also be mildew resistant to prevent the cushion
from rotting. Fabric cushions should be taken indoors during a storm.
An adjustable back can be found on most lounges. This is perfect for
getting the right amount of sun or reading. Another fun twist is the
double outdoor chaise lounge which is wide enough to hold two people.
Remember just because a lounge made for outdoor use doesn’t mean
all lounges are safe to leave outside. Check to make sure the materials
can handle the elements.
