A corner of the North Sea in your own garden paradise is just bursting with cosiness! We want to tell you what you should consider when buying a matching beach chair.
Beach chair is not the same as beach chair
Beach chairs are now available in a large variety, visually appealing and sometimes even extremely cheap. But not all beach chairs are the same, as you will see if you take a closer look at the associated functions and accessories. Here are our tips on what you should consider when buying a beach chair.
Tip 1 - Beach chair frame
The beach chair frame should be made of high-quality, weather-resistant treated wood. Of course, this also includes fittings made of stainless steel or at least galvanized steel, which do not rust despite the most varied of weather conditions.
Tip 2 - Polyrattan synthetic mesh
Nowadays, a beach chair is covered on the outside with a modern polyrattan synthetic mesh. This allows the legendary beach chair tradition to be perfectly reproduced with modern materials. On top of that, polyrattan is extremely easy to care for, UV-resistant and durable.
Tip 3 - Carrying handles
A beach chair should always have two carrying handles on the side so that you can easily move the beach chair around in your garden at any time - as well as the weight of the beach chair Consider purchase.
Functions
Tip 4 - Adjustable backrest
A backrest that can be locked in four to five positions should ensure perfect seating and lying comfort - for multi-seater beach chairs of course separately from each other. This means that a beach chair could even be converted into a full lounger in order to enjoy a nap or two. Of course, this also includes two easily extendable footrests, which should definitely have sufficient padding.
Tip 5 - Padding
What should be particularly important when buying a beach chair is the strongest possible padding of at least 6 centimeters and preferably more. Covered with a hard-wearing, UV-resistant fabric,which is now available in a versatile elegant design selection. Often even suitable for garden furniture cushions, with which a beach chair can then also be adapted to a complete seating area, e.g. on terraces and balconies.
Tip 6 - Pivotable awning
It is also very important to have an awning that can be pivoted into several positions, which protects the inside of the beach chair from strong sunlight. Before you buy a beach chair, you should definitely test how easy it is to use.
Accessories
Tip 7 - Adjustable neck pillow/cuddly pillow
Accessories and comfort go hand in hand when a beach chair has been equipped with adjustable neck pillows, among other things. Cuddly pillows are also an advantage, either to pad the neck pillow again or to place them under the back of the knees. Both pillow variants should have removable covers that you can wash yourself at any time.
Tip 8 - Compartments/rotating tables
Several compartments integrated inside are very practical for storing all sorts of small items, such as a mobile phone, sunglasses or magazines . Side tables that can be folded away, possibly even rotated, serve as additional storage for books or drinks. So that chilling out in a beach chair becomes a real pleasure!
Weather Protection
Tip 9 - Protective cover
In order to be able to leave the beach chair outdoors in wind and weather, a special protective cover should be put on when not in use. Ideally, this was made of boat tarpaulin and is therefore not only 100 percent waterproof, but also winterproof. In this way, the beach chair can be left outdoors all year round.
