Castelle Berkeley Padded Sling Outdoor Lounge Chair Set

Details at a Glance

Cast and extruded aluminum construction resists rust, corrosion, and UV fade season after season, making this pair of high-back chairs built for years of poolside use in sun, chlorine spray, and humidity. The Castelle Berkeley Padded Sling Lounge Chair Set is a commercial-grade pair of outdoor lounge chairs handcrafted in the USA, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Cast Aluminum Handle Pool Chemicals and Salt Air?

Cast and extruded aluminum is completely rust-proof -- no protective paint to chip, no steel core to corrode in coastal zones or near chlorinated pools. The powder-coated finish bonds to the metal surface under heat, forming a UV-resistant shell that won't fade, peel, or blister when exposed to salt air, pool chemicals, or direct sun. Aluminum won't rot, warp, or crack like wood, and it dries instantly after rain, so mildew has no foothold. This is the same contract-grade material used in five-star resort furniture, engineered for full-time outdoor exposure.

What Maintenance Do You Actually Have to Do?

Hose off the frame and sling fabric after pool days to rinse chlorine and sunscreen residue -- that's it for regular care. The mildew-resistant padded sling dries fast and can stay outside through light winter weather in temperate climates. In zones with freeze-thaw cycles or heavy snow, bring the chairs into a garage or shed to protect the sling fabric from prolonged moisture and ice weight. The aluminum frame itself can stay out all year, but covering or storing the set extends the sling's lifespan. Never pressure-wash -- standard garden hose pressure is enough.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Position these high-back lounge chairs around pool decks, resort terraces, or covered patios where you want ergonomic lumbar support for hours of relaxed seating. Pair them with pieces from our outdoor lounge chairs or coordinate finishes across your outdoor dining chairs for a cohesive look. The 37-inch height and curved backrest make them ideal for reading, conversation, or poolside naps -- not just quick perching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The aluminum frame is rust-proof and can stay out year-round, but in freeze-thaw climates you should store the chairs or cover them to protect the padded sling fabric from ice and prolonged moisture.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The powder-coated finish is UV-resistant and engineered to resist fading -- it's the same finish used on commercial resort furniture exposed to full sun daily.

Is it suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- cast and extruded aluminum won't corrode in salt air, and the powder coat blocks oxidation, making this set ideal for beachfront patios.

What is a sling chair?

A sling chair uses suspended fabric stretched across the frame, promoting airflow and quick drying while conforming to your body for flexible support.

What makes a chair commercial grade?

Commercial-grade chairs feature reinforced joinery, thicker-gauge materials, superior weather-resistant finishes, and construction that meets hospitality durability standards.

Does the set ship fully assembled?

Each chair requires minimal assembly -- 15 to 30 minutes per chair. Free curbside delivery is included; assembly service is available for an additional fee upon request.
