Patio chairs are manufactured from a variety of materials, such as wood, wicker cane, and vinyl, plastic, metal and even stone in the extreme case.
They come in variety of colors to suit anyone's choice and add functionality to the patio to enable everyone to enjoy the outdoors on those sultry summer days.
Ideally in the selection process of purchasing them, one should always exercise discretion in choosing the most weather resistant material to avoid degradation of them when you forget to put the chairs away.
An interesting development in the manufacture of patio chairs is the usage of handmade wrought iron versions, which offer a certain rustic and durable effect to one's décor motif, this material, although quite cumbersome, is very durable and can be complemented with stylish cushions, this can be the ideal finish for the modern patio.
The original wicker cane or rattan range, has kept up with current trends, with designers revamping the dreary weather beaten look by adding a range of patio chair covers for the older furniture.
The newer designs incorporate the deep seating selections which have become increasing popular over the last few years - it must be noted that the crisp clean starched white cushions are the perfect complement to the cane ones, and almost recreate that ambiance of the colonial era.
Just imagine sitting on the patio in the deep seating cane selections sipping on the proverbial gin and tonic and watching the sun set.
Although with some of the patio chairs the construction and materials used can be questionable, some prefer to opt for a sturdier ones, like the mentioned deep seating choices.
Alternatively the sturdier options include the cedar or teak Adirondack patio chairs, which offer the comfort of form fitting seats, contoured back support, as well as the oversized arm rests - which might just be a perfect place to set down that gin and tonic we were talking about, whilst sitting back and relaxing.
Adaptations to this selection include the rocking chair, the loveseat and the smaller child's version.
To complement this, one can purchase the ottoman which is an ideal accompaniment to the set of furniture.
Similar to this type are teak folding patio chairs, which is more sleek in design and exceptionally durable due to its natural oils and weather resistant properties, slightly more expensive yet well worth it for those looking for the space saving and sleek sophisticated design and finish of this very special wood type.
The teak versions also come in a variety of options to make up a decent set them, included are the benches, the arm option, the armless folding version, and even teak steamers - all in that stunning natural wood finish that will last more than a lifetime.
