Outdoor Bar Stools
Bar stools are ideal as outdoor furniture because they are easy to move and store. You can create a sophisticated ambience by placing them in your garden, on your patio, beside the pool, next to the barbecue or next to the outside bar.
The style of outside bar stool can range dramatically. Depending on the amount of storage that you have you may opt for fold away stools or more luxurious swivel stools with sumptuous soft furnishings. The benefit of fold away stools is that you can take them with you to the beach or even away on holiday and do it in style!
Metal & Wood Stools
Metal outdoor bar stools often have sharp lines and look the most contemporary. They are also the most suitable in commercial settings where there is going to be a lot of use. In terms of material, aluminum is the most popular stool metal to purchase. It is durable for commercial use, lightweight for moving around and stacking, resistant and totally weatherproof. Steel is also a popular metal alternative. Always choose a monolithic weldment for a hardwearing metal stool.
Wooden outdoor bar stools can also be very practical. Although wood offers a homely and warm look, you must choose carefully which type of wood will be best suited for the outdoors. Teak is a popular choice of wood as it is extremely dense. Its high content of natural oils means that it resists moisture and withstands the effects of weather extremes without cracking or rotting. It is always important to invest in a good wax in order to keep the wood looking at its best. Always buy wooden stools that are specifically for outdoor use and if unsure seek professional advice.
If you chose your own upholstery remember that it should be waterproof as well. You could invest in detachable cushions to personalize your stool further.
