Different Makes of Beach Chairs

Beach chairs are very comfortable when lounging in the beach. Check out the different types and side functionalities offered.


When going to the beach, you will see lots of beach chairs around where you can lounge and relax under the sun. Some lay down on beach chairs while getting a sun tan. Others sit on it while enjoying the view of the vast ocean.


The more common beach chairs have umbrellas attached on them in the center. The umbrella protects against sunburns and gives a cool shade. These are usually of bright and lively colors that add to the attraction of beaches.


There are so many different types of beach chairs if you will look at them closely. Some are detachable and foldable. These are the ones you can easily tow away wherever you want to place them. They are made of lighter materials like plastic or aluminum so they could be easily carried around.


The fixed types are the ones buried deep in the sands and set permanently. Obviously, these are not movable and more often made of more durable materials.


Some beach chairs have side functionalities. You will see some of them with cupholders on the arm rest. Instead of pulling a table nearby for your drinks, your cups can rest on these holders while you lay back to enjoy the beach.


Some beach chairs also feature a reclining seat. The angle of the back rest can be adjusted accordingly, depending on whether you want to lie down completely to sleep or just tilted slightly while reading a book.


Others have wheeled feet so they can be easily dragged or pushed from one place to another. However, these are useless in the sand. These are only normally seen by the beach side in the cemented floors.


The chaise types have overhead screens and are great for pools. These are however bulkier. The footrest equipped beach chair is one of the most famous because it is ergonomically designed for comfort.


Beach chairs are usually made of wood or aluminum. Wood is stronger and more durable but aluminum is lighter. Aluminum has the tendency to disfigure when overexposed in the sun.


Beach chairs come in two basic heights: low boy and high boy. Low boy sits close to the sand about 6-12 inches high. The high boy is similar to common lawn chairs, about 18-24 inches high.


The framework is usually of plastic polypropylene, nylon and canvass fabric. Polypropylene is durable but can cause burn back when exposed to sun. Nylon is also durable but should be kept out of bonfires. One popular nylon variation is the nylon ripstop fabric which is interlocked nylon threads. Canvass fabric is popular because it prevents sliding, but it easily fades when exposed to the sun on long periods.


The most popular brands include: Rio, Debro, Foldaway, Outer Banks, and Wonder Wheels. Debro is popular for their folding beach chairs. Rio is known for their amazing beach chair with wheels.


Some manufacturers also offer baby beach chair with umbrellas and miniature ones. Some offer custom prints on the beach chairs.


To prolong the life of the beach chair some manufacturers designed a packaging or sort of beach chair jacket. They protect it from rain, dust, and rough winds.


Although beach chairs are normally seen in the beach areas, it can also be used in other outdoor functions like watching a baseball game or camping out.

Aluminum Lawn Chair Q&A

I am looking for aluminum lawn chair or wooden frames to make a macrame lawn chair. Where I can buy?

If you live anywhere that people often move (apartments, homes, military housing) could try to drive through the days of garbage. Often see lawn chairs that are perfectly fine on the sidewalk for free. Then just take the material to be off and you have your frame.

Will metal scrap buyers buy any junk?

I have a lot of junk I'd rather not had to dump garbage in the normal / fill health. But I do not know what all the metal is made of, some may be current or aluminum, some may have some copper, etc. For example, I have several chairs old garden, large cooking pots, and some really brilliant waste matter. So the question is: could a buyer of scrap even be able to give a reasonable estimate or is the burden which the seller knows what matter is made of? Thanks

I open a scrap processor in New York. This is how to sort waste. Get a magnet and sort their waste. All that is magnetic, he goes to the steel section. If you have an item that has both magnetic and non-magnetic characteristics, are put into "light" section. Then put all the non-magnetic in another section. With the amount of steel that has most will tell scrapyard that accept steel, meaning steel dump for free. However, call around, somewhere might pay for the amount of light. Price range would be 2Cents to 4cents per pound. There are several types of steel scrap yard would not accept. As oil contaminated and other materials make mat, gas cylinder with the valve attached. Call first to know what is acceptable. For the section of bearing, price varies due to the amount nonmagnetic (Non-ferrous) material. If the non-ferrous metals is copper, the material is called copper. And like wise with aluminum. Well, let's look at its non-magnetic section. Old garden chairs: Heavy aluminum pans: aluminum or cast iron scrap to sell, weight up first and then call all the prices. Some scrap yard would give steal high price but on the scale. Price of scrap is different from state to state. Hope this helps.
