How to properly set up a beach chair in the garden

As a symbol of German coastal regions, a beach chair is reliably weatherproof. This attribute enables a high degree of flexibility for the installation location. However, a classic two-seater weighing around 100 kilograms is a real heavyweight that turns every transport into a sweaty show of strength. We therefore recommend a location where the maritime relaxation furniture can linger from March to October.

Proud beach chair owners want an authentic base made of sand. Unfortunately, experience has shown that sandy soil is suboptimal for a location in the garden. Moisture accumulates and rises. Above it, weeds make their way through the sandy bottom. In the worst case scenario, cats running freely abuse the sand as a litter box.

You should therefore ideally place your beach chair on a surface in the garden

Natural stone slabs, Gravel, wood or WPC (wood-plastic composite) boards. Relocated to Weed control,(€ 13.47 at Amazon *) brazen dandelions, annoying clover and other annoying plants don't stand a chance. In addition, no soil splashes on when it rains, so the beach chair stays clean longer.

So your beach chair stays tip-top - care tips

Classic beach chair models are made of high-quality wood, sides and hoods made of wickerwork and a textile lining. Foam seat cushions and a fabric-covered awning complete the construction. With the following care program, your beach chair will stay in top shape for many years:

• Treat wooden parts with wood care products every spring
• Ideally, paint with wood stain every 2 years
• Clean plastic braids with warm soapy water
• Treat the rattan wickerwork with linseed oil varnish (hardware store) after clearing it out

You can wash soiled cotton fabrics in warm soapy water. As the impregnation wears off over time, please refresh the weather protection regularly with a special spray. High-quality Dralon covers that you simply wipe with warm water and a cloth are easier to look after. It is important to ensure regular ventilation, especially after a summer rain shower.

This decoration sets your beach chair perfectly in scene
