Outdoor Chairs and Garden Seating for Patios and Decking

A garden with nowhere comfortable to sit rarely gets used as much as it should, and the right outdoor chairs turn a patio into somewhere people actually want to spend an afternoon. Whether you need stackable chairs that store away easily, a set of dining chairs to match an existing table, or something more relaxed for lounging on decking, FastDaddyshop stocks garden chairs and outdoor seating to suit spaces of every size. On our site you can order lightweight stacking chairs under 5 kg for easy storage, cushioned dining chairs rated for everyday outdoor use, and reclining garden chairs with 4–5 adjustable positions for relaxed afternoons.

Choosing outdoor chairs: what our customers ask most

• Stackable or fixed chairs — which is better? Our consultants often advise stackable chairs for smaller gardens or balconies, since they store away in a fraction of the space when not in use, while fixed dining chairs generally feel sturdier and suit households that leave furniture out for the whole season. From the experience of FastDaddyshop's managers, stackable is usually the better choice for anyone without dedicated garden storage.
• Rattan, metal or wood — which lasts longest outdoors? In practice, synthetic rattan and powder-coated metal cope far better with damp British weather than untreated wood, which typically needs re-oiling once a year to stay in good condition. Rattan chairs rated to withstand temperatures down to -5°C are usually sturdy enough to stay outside through a typical UK winter with a breathable cover.
• How much weight can outdoor chairs hold? From experience, most outdoor dining chairs are rated to 110–120 kg, similar to indoor equivalents, while reinforced reclining chairs sometimes carry a slightly different rating. We'd flag an expert caution: always check ratings specifically for chairs with slim metal frames, as these can be lower than solid wood alternatives.

Once your outdoor chairs are sorted, it's worth thinking about the rest of the seating area around them. Many of our customers pair chairs with a matching outdoor table, add an outdoor sofa for more relaxed lounging, or bring in an awning for shade over the whole setup.
