Patio stools are an essential piece of outdoor furniture and should provide maximum comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Selecting an attractive seat can take your backyard bar to new heights!
Dedon is widely respected for his sophisticated, luxurious woven furnishings that can be seen poolside at various resorts and hotels around the world. Their contemporary Arena collection blends both modernist and traditional elements into its designs.
Durability
If you plan on spending much time outside, your patio bar stool must be strong enough to withstand everyday use. A sturdy metal frame with powder-coated finishes should provide adequate rust and weather resistance; lightweight yet strong aluminum frames may also make for good outdoor seating; plus this material offers natural abrasion resistance as well as being simple to cut and shape to suit individual preferences.
Wood patio stools can make durable outdoor stools that stand the test of time, with various varieties used in outdoor furniture offering aesthetic variety to match any space. When purchasing one made of wood, be sure to choose waterproof fabric; there are various choices including leather, microfiber and polyester options available as water-resistant fabrics for you to consider when selecting one with upholstery that includes it if applicable. Furthermore, any wooden chair featuring UV resistance should also be UV protected before making your selection.
Modern alternatives to wooden or metal patio stools include those made from woven ropes. AllModern’s version, for instance, boasts a square seat and backrest made of hand dyed cords in eight distinct colors that come together seamlessly in the chair’s base made of powder coated aluminum which claims resistance against UV radiation, mildew growth and rust formation. However, in areas with strong winds steel patio stools may be best as windy conditions may easily blow lightweight aluminum chairs around and cause potential damages or injuries to customers.
Style
Patio stools can add extra seating for outdoor bars or island seating arrangements, as well as being great additions to poolside, lawn or garden furniture. Patio stools come in an assortment of styles and colors to match the decor in any home, made from resilient materials that can withstand outdoor elements. Choose wood for an old world rustic vibe; metal offers contemporary designs; while wrought iron gives classic designs. Stools with backs or swivels make an excellent addition to patios as they allow you to easily mingle with guests while remaining seated at your table. Furthermore, these types of stools help improve circulation, support feet and back, and make sitting for extended periods more comfortable.
