Redondo Sunbrella Outdoor Club Chair

Details at a Glance

Fully welded powder-coated aluminum with a hand-brushed Slate finish stands up to coastal salt air, freezing winters, and daily sun without corroding or scratching. The Sunset West Redondo Sunbrella Outdoor Club Chair is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Five Sunbrella Grade A cushion options let you match any patio palette while locking in fade resistance and mildew protection.

How Does Powder-Coated Aluminum Hold Up to Rain, Salt, and Sun?

Powder-coated aluminum won't rust -- even in humid or coastal climates where salt air accelerates corrosion on steel. The hand-brushed Slate finish is electrostatically bonded and heat-cured for scratch resistance, so the chair holds its color through years of UV exposure. Clean it with mild soap and water to remove pollen or sea spray; there's no annual sealing, no repainting, and no risk of the structural integrity breaking down from moisture. You're looking at a frame that outlasts wood, resin wicker, and untreated metal by decades.

Do Sunbrella Cushions Fade, and Do You Have to Oil Them?

Sunbrella Grade A fabric is solution-dyed -- the pigment saturates every fiber, so there's no surface coating to wear off or bleach out. That means the cushions resist fading even under full-day sun, and they repel mildew and stains far better than standard outdoor textiles. You don't oil Sunbrella -- just hose it down and let it air-dry between uses. The high-resiliency foam core is wrapped to resist moisture, but covering the cushions during storms or storing them indoors for extended wet seasons keeps them from sitting damp.

Can This Chair Stay Outside Year-Round?

The aluminum frame can stay outside through winter without damage -- it won't crack from freeze-thaw cycles or rust from snow melt. Cover the chair when you're not using it to protect the powder-coat finish and extend the cushions' lifespan; moisture and UV exposure add up faster when the chair sits uncovered for months. If you live where winters are harsh or extended, bring the cushions inside and cover the frame. Many of our customers pair this chair with other pieces from our outdoor accent chairs and outdoor chairs collections for flexible seating they can leave out or tuck away as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Slate finish fade in direct sun?

The powder-coat finish is heat-cured and UV-resistant, so it won't bleach or chalk under full sun exposure. Regular cleaning with mild soap preserves the hand-brushed look.

Can this chair handle coastal or salt-air locations?

Yes -- aluminum doesn't corrode from salt air the way steel or cast iron does. Rinse the frame occasionally to keep salt from dulling the finish.

Does the frame require any annual maintenance?

Clean it with mild soap and water and cover it when you're not using it regularly. There's no sealing, staining, or painting required.

How long do the Sunbrella cushions last outdoors?

Sunbrella fabric is solution-dyed for maximum fade resistance and can last a decade or more with routine cleaning and seasonal storage during extended wet periods.

Can I leave the cushions outside in rain?

The fabric repels water, but sitting wet for days invites mildew growth. Cover the cushions during storms or bring them inside when you're not using the chair for extended stretches.

Does the chair arrive fully assembled?

The aluminum frame ships fully assembled. Custom Sunbrella cushions are fabricated to order and ship within approximately four weeks.
