Matching the chair to how you use the space

Dining chairs sit upright at table height and are what you want if the area is mainly for meals. They pair with an outdoor dining setting and work best where you can pull a chair out without hitting a railing. Lounge seating is lower and deeper, made for sitting in rather than sitting at, and covers outdoor sofas, recliners and Adirondack chairs. Sun lounges lie almost flat, which suits a poolside more than a covered patio, while benches seat two or three people in a fixed spot and take up no more room when nobody's using them.

Allowing enough room around the seating

Look beyond the chair's dimensions and think about the space you'll need to use it comfortably. Dining chairs need room to pull away from the table, while recliners and sun lounges need enough clearance to extend without blocking a walkway. On a balcony or in a smaller courtyard, measure around doors, railings, planters and other furniture rather than relying on the total floor area. If you're working with a compact space, a smaller outdoor setting can help you fit seating and a table into the available area.

Choosing a material for Australian conditions

PE wicker is the most common material here, a synthetic weave over a steel or aluminium frame made to handle UV better than natural cane. The frame underneath matters as much as the weave, so look at both. Powder-coated aluminium is light to move and won't rust. Timber brings warmth and weight, and needs occasional oiling to keep its colour rather than weathering to grey. Powder-coated steel is the sturdiest and heaviest, which helps somewhere windy. Full Australian sun is the hardest thing any of it deals with, so covers or a shaded spot extend its life.

Thinking about cushions and comfort

Cushions can add extra comfort to an outdoor chair, but they also need a little more care. Check whether cushions are included with the chair and look at the cover material and care instructions, particularly if your seating will be exposed to regular sun or rain. Keeping removable cushions somewhere dry when they're not in use can help protect them between uses. If you'd prefer seating without loose cushions, look at the shape and depth of the chair itself. Adirondack chairs offer a reclined seating position, while papasan chairs have a deeper, rounded design. For dining, a more upright chair can make it easier to sit comfortably at the table.

Checking assembly and how it arrives

Most outdoor chairs will be delivered flat-packed, with the tools and instructions in the box. Folding and camping chairs generally come ready to use, stackable chairs often need only the legs fitted, and a wicker lounge setting takes longer. 

If you'd rather not assemble a larger setting yourself, our Airtasker partnership can help you find someone local to put it together, and a swing chair is another option if you want one seat rather than a set.

Outdoor Chair FAQ

What is the best material for outdoor chairs?

Outdoor chairs come in materials including PE wicker, aluminium, powder-coated steel and timber, and each has different care requirements. Consider how exposed your seating area is to sun and rain, how often you'll need to move the chairs and how much maintenance you're comfortable with. Always check the care instructions for the individual product before leaving furniture exposed to the weather.

What type of outdoor chair should I choose?

Choose based on how you use your outdoor space. Dining chairs provide upright seating around a table, while recliners and Adirondack chairs suit a more relaxed setup. Sun lounges give you room to stretch out, and benches can provide seating for more than one person without needing several individual chairs.

What outdoor chairs are good for a small balcony?

For a smaller balcony, look for chairs with a compact footprint and measure the usable area before ordering. Folding or stackable chairs can be useful when you want to clear some floor space between uses. If you're adding a table, remember to leave enough room to pull the chairs out and move around them comfortably.

Can outdoor chairs be left outside in the rain?

This depends on the chair and its materials. Check that your chosen product is suitable for outdoor use and follow its care instructions for rain and moisture. Removable cushions may need to be stored somewhere dry, while an outdoor furniture cover can provide additional protection when the chairs aren't being used.

How do you clean outdoor chairs?

The best cleaning method depends on the material. Many outdoor chairs can be cleaned with mild soapy water and a soft cloth, while timber, upholstery and other finishes may have specific care requirements. Check the instructions supplied with your chairs before using cleaning products, abrasive brushes or a pressure washer.
