Outdoor Deck Chairs
Chairs made for sitting back in rather than sitting up at a table, which usually means a reclining or a deeper set frame. The Nardi Folio is the folding reclining armchair in the range and packs away flat, which suits a balcony or a boat where the chair cannot live out permanently. The Net Relax and Net lounge chairs take the other approach with a fixed deeper recline and an open resin weave that drains after rain. Headrest cushions and seat shells are available on several models and are listed as separate items, so you can add them later rather than committing at the outset.

Outdoor Deck Chairs - FAQs
-
What is the difference between a deck chair and a sun lounge?
The leg position. A deck chair keeps the legs down and suits reading, conversation and a drink on a shaded deck. A sun lounge takes the legs up and is built for lying flat in the sun beside a pool. People often buy one when they wanted the other.
-
Which models fold?
The Nardi Folio is the folding reclining armchair and packs flat, which is the answer for a balcony, a small courtyard or a boat where the chair cannot live out permanently. The Net Relax and lounge chairs have a fixed recline instead.
-
Why does the open weave shell matter on a deck chair?
Water drains straight through it rather than pooling in the seat. On a deck chair this matters more than on a dining chair, because the seat is deeper and a solid one holds water for far longer after a shower.
-
Are cushions included?
Headrest cushions and seat shells are listed as separate items on the models that take them. That lets you add them later rather than committing at the outset, and lets a cushion come inside overnight while the chair stays out.
-
Can these chairs stay outside all year?
The resin is UV stabilised and needs nothing beyond washing. Folding mechanisms benefit from a rinse to keep grit out of the pivot, because once grit is in the hinge the action stiffens and the chair starts being forced rather than folded.
-
How do I clean them?
Warm water and a mild detergent, or a hose. Avoid abrasive pads. On folding models, rinse through the joint every few weeks rather than only cleaning the surfaces.
-
Are they stackable?
The fixed recline models generally stack; the folding models fold instead. Both approaches solve storage, and which suits you depends on whether the chairs live out permanently or come away between uses.
