Finding the right deck chair type to suit your style
When it comes to deck chair types there are many varieties to choose from to suit your style. Finding the right deck chair type for you means understanding your options and what they mean. Thinking about comfort, colour, style or shape are the starting points to finding the perfect fit for you.
For me, thinking about deck chairs brings back that summer feeling of sitting on the beach in the afternoon sun, with melting ice cream in my hand. Now you can have that feeling in your garden, patio or outside space. In this blog, I will outline the deck chair types there are and what they are best suited for. I will cover the basics as well as some things you probably didn’t know before.
What are the Main Deck Chair Types on the Market
Deck chairs come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. This type of outside furniture needs to be functional and easy to pick up and move when needed. Over the last 50 years, deck chairs have been re-designed again and again to give you so many options for your space. So, there are many different deck chair types available for you!
You’ll find that deck chair types range from the classic folding relaxing wooden deckchair to the comfy canvas and metal folding deckchair. Depending on what you prefer and how much space you want to fill you can find a range of different types to fit perfectly into your garden or outdoor area.
The Unmatched Classic Deck Chair
It’s most likely that when you think of a deck chair, you probably think of this type, wooden frame, foldable, material comfy swing seat. It’s a classic for a reason and it’s been around a while because of its dependable design.
It’s an ideal deck chair type for the everyday person who might use it in the garden or transfer it to the beach or park without a worry. The foldable design helps to make it easy to carry from a sun trap to a staycation. When it’s not in use, the deckchair folds to a slimline profile which makes it incredibly easy to store away without using up valuable shed storage space.
As this design is an incredibly popular favourite of the nation, we have a wide range of colours and patterns to tickle your fancy. Whether you prefer a bold blue, a stylish black stripe, or a soft baby pink we have you covered.
The Beaches Best Friend
The Harbour Housewares Folding Metal Beach Chair continues to be a summer must-have. Gardens, terraces, balconies, and beaches, there isn’t anywhere this chair wouldn’t suit. The stylish sleek 19mm tubular steel black frame offers the optimum blend of lightness and durability, allowing you to manoeuvre easily and relax comfortably.
The foldable design of this deck chair type is again helpful for transferring or storing away, especially in the winter months when it might not be in use. Having the option to get it out without the fuss or faff of the loft or the back of the garage is always a bonus!
Our current range carries 6 styles including, black, grey, a tropical banana leaf print, a nautical blue stripe, red stripe, and green stripe. Our most popular is the banana leaf print which is also part of a set that has a folding sun lounger and a folding stool. Ideal for a family or friends day out in the garden or down the beach!
‘How do I know what deck chair type is right for me?’
I’ve gone through a few deck chair types that are most popular in today’s market. However, you still might be thinking, well, I’m still not sure.
Firstly, let's talk about your needs, if you are wanting a ‘sit back, tan in the sun, comfort is key’ type deal then the Harbour Housewares Folding Wooden Deck Chair is perfect for you.
But, if you are wanting something a little more relaxed like ‘having a BBQ, sitting back with a large glass of wine while chilling with the girls’ type of vibe, then I would suggest the Harbour Housewares Folding Metal Beach Chair as it’s packed with style, fun and functionally. This is certainly the deck chair type for you.
Now let's talk about space, sets, and storage. If you’ve got the space, the deck chair type for you would not only be the deck chair, but the whole garden set! Why not set up your own mini beach in your garden or outdoor area. This would be perfect for evenings in the spring and summer, soaking up some rays with a Pina colada in hand.
If like me, outdoor space is limited then the deck chair type you should look at would be those that are most convenient in small spaces. This means a set of folding beach chairs are a must. Perfect in summer but also all year round, as they can be used in the house or on camping trips or holidays!
