10 Tips for Buying Deck Chairs

10 tips for buying deck chairs

Intro

Finding the perfect deck chair

From the choice of model and material to finishing options and practical extras, here you will find 7 valuable tips to help you choose the perfect deck chair.

Tipp 1: Modelle

1. Choosing the deck chair model

Single-seater with armrest

A deck chair with armrests offers a high level of seating comfort and makes it easier to stand up, which is particularly beneficial for elderly people or those with limited mobility. Some models also feature practical extras such as integrated cup holders.

Single-seater without armrests

A deck chair without armrests offers more freedom of movement and allows flexible sitting positions. Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, it is easy to transport and ideal for mobile use at indoor and outdoor events such as trade fairs or pop-up stores.

Two-seater

The two-seater offers a larger lounging and advertising area as well as more freedom of movement, allowing two people to sit comfortably side by side. The double-seater is therefore ideal for couples or friends who, for example, visit a beach bar together.

The children's deck chair, as the name suggests, is adapted to the size of children and therefore allows them to use it easily, without having to climb onto the seat as they would with a standard deck chair.

Tipp 2: Funktionen

2. Practical features

Adjustable backrest

The perfect sitting position can be set easily thanks to the convenient 3-position system, whether upright or reclined.

Foldable

All our deck chairs fold up completely. This makes transport and storage easier.

What's practical about our deck chairs is that the covers can be swapped out really easily!

Tipp 3: Material

3. Frame material

Wood with FSC label

Aluminum

You're also making the right choice in terms of comfort with this natural material, as wood stays pleasantly warm regardless of sunlight and does not heat up.

Aluminium

An aluminium frame also requires no special care and can be cleaned simply by wiping it down.

Tipp 4: Außenbereich

4. Use outdoors

Deck chairs used outdoors are exposed to the elements such as snow, rain and sun. While the frame should be cared for depending on its material, what matters most for the fabric is its durability and lightfastness. Depending on the printing process, different inks are used, which withstand intense UV radiation for varying lengths of time.

5. Deck Chairs as Advertising Media

Tipp 5: Werbeträger

5. Deck chairs as an advertising medium

For anyone looking for a comfortable seat and a suitable advertising medium in one, the advertising deck chair is exactly the right choice. A full-surface digital print on the cover offers almost unlimited design options across the entire fabric area. Custom colours, gradients, logos or photo motifs are all easily possible!

6. Finishing Wooden Deck Chairs

Tipp 6: Veredelung

6. Finishing of wooden deck chairs

Not only can the deck chair cover be designed to your wishes, the wooden frame can also be visually adapted to your preferred design. We offer the following options:

Laser engraving

For anyone wanting discreet branding, engraving on the wooden frame is exactly the right choice. Whether on the side or on the chair legs, the placement of your logo can be chosen flexibly.

Oiling the wooden frame protects it against the elements and preserves the natural beauty of the wood. It also allows the frame to be visually matched to the design of the fabric cover, which is why we offer almost all of our wooden deck chairs in four different oil finishes. From an order quantity of 200 units you can even choose the colour of the frame freely.

Cushion

The matching cushion for the deck chair not only provides a comfortable, soft headrest, but also an additional advertising area that can be printed on.

With the flag for the back of the lounge chair, your advertising message is visible from both sides, making it a great alternative to a double-sided printed lounge chair cover.
