Outdoor chairs are different from indoor chairs in several key ways. First, they’re designed to be weather-resistant so they won’t fall apart after the first rain. Many modern outdoor chairs consist of a sturdy, powder-coated steel or cast aluminum frame, along with a natural backing like rattan, wicker or burlap to complement the foliage in your backyard. The seat cushions of outdoor chairs typically are removable for indoor storage, but if they aren’t, look for waterproof or water-resistant fabrics so they won’t absorb rainwater. If you keep outdoor chairs under an awning and you’re concerned about not having enough room, look for stackable chairs. They create a much smaller footprint and reduce clutter.

Loveseats and benches are good for general, all-purpose seating, while Adirondack chairs add a rustic accent to your yard. For poolside seating, consider chaise lounges and lounge chairs with reclining capabilities so you can kick back and work on your tan. Invest in a bench with built-in storage under the seat to keep gardening tools, pool toys and other knick-knacks organized.
