Reddit mentions: The best patio chairs

Pretty happy with my portable lawn chair. There's a cupholder attachment that clamps to it and works out really well. I am the envy of all my friends. I keep telling them it's the best $40 I ever spent (the link has two, which I recommend if you cohabitate,) but so far none have pulled the trigger. Which is fine. I enjoy my luxury and comfort and they can all sit in the grass or on their plebeian folders. :)

Following your formatting lol

⚡️🌲 hmmmm tape, scissors, maybe a marker (to mark what cup is yours). The bigger problem IMO is forgetting “obvious” stuff. My first year, I forgot a toothbrush. This year, my friend forgot a pillow. I have a google doc that I maintain throughout the year. As I remember stuff I should bring, I add it to the list. You’re a lot less likely to forget something if you’ve been compiling the list for months.

⚡️🌲 a super comfy bed setup. I have a queen sized air bed cot and I always bring lots of blankets and pillows. Invest in a comfortable camping chair, not just a $10 Walmart one. You don’t have to splurge, I got a $20 one this summer and it’s 1000% more cozy than the one I had before. Bring lots of string lights (solar ones are great and you don’t have to buy batteries) to put around the campsite so you aren’t fumbling in the dark. Don’t forget a lantern for the table. I like having a camping rug/mat for under the canopy so the campsite isn’t muddy/dirty. Also, this is a game changer.

⚡️🌲 Not a solar charger but this is the battery pack I have. Fully charged, it has lasted me throughout every festival I’ve taken it to.

⚡️🌲 2017 I arrived at 9 pm on Wednesday, this year I arrived at noon. I think I had an hour wait this year and about half an hour last year. They’re pretty good at getting you in quickly. I’d say just arrive at the most convenient time for you.

This is the one we have. It's a reproduction off Amazon. Doesn't look like they have a black option left but when I bought it, it was around $700. It's great quality. Have been pretty happy so far. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8ZM3DQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3Rv.ybB2BSZKC

We have a similarly narrow balcony, though not quite as long (about 20 feet), and also south facing. Took forever to figure out what we wanted to do with it as most patio furniture is too wide to allow clearance space. We ended up installing this bar table set in the center:

https://www.amazon.com/MIYU-Furniture-3-piece-Balcony-Bar/dp/B00HY5HYDA

... I can't say enough good things about this set. It's quite heavy and you anchor it on to the balcony railings. We get a ton of wind as our condo is on the top floor. This set does not budge. It also hasn't rusted or anything and still looks as good as new. The stools tuck underneath when not in use and there's plenty of clearance for people to walk behind. If our balcony was longer like yours, we might've installed multiple sets.

Then on the ends of the balcony we got two large Huron chairs with footrests from West Elm:
https://www.westelm.com/products/huron-chair-h019/?catalogId=71&sku=5683420&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Outdoor%20%3E%20Outdoor%20Lounge%20Furniture%20%3E%20Chairs&na_id=2017031818325831339264129631&kwid=productads-adid^215320075618-device^c-plaid^347330542229-sku^5683420-adType^PLA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6baKjtvk2QIVR7bACh3WkAaREAYYASABEgLW4_D_BwE&cm_ite=[[PLA]%20-%20Good%20Desktop]

Hubby's faces the sunset and mine faces the city view. We put these at the balcony ends as they take up all the 3'11" space and allow no clearance.

Note if you like these chairs, Target and I think some other places offer a much cheaper knock-off of the small version of the West Elm chair. We wanted the larger chairs so we splurged.

Between the pub stools, chairs, and foot rests we can seat 6 people comfortably.

No plants and flowers because we get too much wind for that. To address the sun issue (it's lovely but can get too hot to sit out there) we got some sun umbrellas -- the kind that can attach to the back of a chair and that have articulating arms so you can move them throughout the day as the sun moves. We had looked at other options but this was a simple inexpensive and practical solution. As well as flexible, as we can also attach the umbrellas to the balcony railing if we are sitting at the bar table and want shade there. We can also take them down when the wind is kicking up. And meets HOA requirements (no permanent structures on the decks).

We considered many other options like futons and lounge chairs and bistro sets or a hammock (HOA wouldn't allow that) but ultimately the 3'11" width was the challenge. Measure everything you are considering and think hard about clearance space.

No need to pay $100 for Cabela’s to slap their name on it. You can get zero gravity chairs way cheaper on amazon.

My friends have the set listed above and they are pretty comfortable and easy to adjust. We have a different set, but I can’t find a link for them.


I definitely recommend using zero gravity chairs while camping. They are so comfortable. You need to get ones with the clip on table (or order the table separately).

Just bought basically the same ones and added tray tables with cupholders.

They are quite sturdy. I don't think they are really FOR LIFE per say, but they are of good quality and I would expect them to last quite a few seasons, especially if they are brought inside or stored in a shed/garage.

I highly recommend them. I have enjoyed quite a few cigars and whiskeys in those chairs.

You won't get much ;)

I've done hotels, tents and air mattresses, and cars.

But my favorite is the easiest. A sleeping bag and a zero gravity chair. You will not be more comfortable with such a simple solution. Chairs pack flat, sleeping bag is small and light. And you'll use the chairs all through the comp day and night.

Something like this

I bought a zero gravity chair to use inside for recovery from surgery for a torn hip labrum. We love it so much that we are getting rid of our recliners(which take up too much space in our small house) and replacing them with zero gravity chairs. We can fold them up when we need extra space or take them outside for dual use.

Ooh, I think I'm going to be looking around on Mundo de Unas site for awhile!

As far as Mario stamps go, there's a Mario and Luigi on a Moyou plate. I haven't tried any Moyou plates yet, but I've heard so many good things! There's also a FUN plate somewhere out there that has a bunch of Mario symbols, but I haven't gotten my hands on it.

I am the exact same way. The way I see it, the down-time just makes the freedom all the more satisfying.

PS. I found that being outside helped quite a bit. It was a chore getting to the backyard but I managed to get myself into one of these chairs which let me tilt back and elevate my knee. Highly recommended

Got this from Amazon. Awesome! (Amish stained Cedar glider)

Folding Adirondack chair is best chair for sitting around the fire, assuming he's got room for it.

Also fire ring!

Best purchase I ever made

Here is the one I have. mine
My moms have the strings that hold the mesh to the frame and are replaceable for more BIFL. Not sure if the newer style like mine are replaceable but they don't stretch out much at all like my moms.

I have really enjoyed this chair, https://www.amazon.com/Timber-Ridge-Oversize-Adjustable-Recliner/dp/B0786C8W32/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=zero%2Bgravity%2Bchair&qid=1572454972&sprefix=zero%2Bgr&sr=8-9&th=1&psc=1.

Should i oil it ? tips are welcome!

Info:
-the wood is called "bilinga"
-you can fold the chair
-it still needs a litle sanding and a varnish or oil

here i got the idea from

i know it's not perfect but i try to learn from mistakes.

thanks for all the comments!

You can zoom in on the picture and the legs don't appear to be sawed off. It just looks like this style of chair. I still don't see the WTF.

Many versions of switch guards are available, some, like the one pictured require something like a paper clip or pen to actuate, others can be had with a more open design that can be hand actuated but are still partially covered to prevent accidental switching.

Get a light switch guard like this:

You can find them at breweries and bars as well.

Only if you promise to post pics of your chair when it's done :P

I'm thinking about getting some inflatable stuff for camp, specifically this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G7H7AUS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_g.jIAb9656Q29

Anyone ever used this or something similar? Worth my money?

I was given this one by Bliss They list the shipping weight as 23.6lbs, but I doubt the chair itself is much over 15lbs. Still might be a bit large for a Prius, but I like mine so much I'd strap it on top if I had to. There are lots of cheaper, and perhaps smaller options.
