Anders Teak Folding Outdoor Deck Chair

Details at a Glance

The marine-grade 304 stainless steel hardware won't corrode when salt air, chlorine, or spray hits the adjustment mechanisms and hinges. The teak's natural oils resist rot, insects, and poolside moisture without any chemical treatment or ongoing sealing. The Anders Teak Folding Outdoor Deck Chair -- a four-position reclining lounge with FSC-certified teak and tool-free folding -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Well Does FSC-Certified Teak Handle Poolside Conditions?

Teak is the gold standard for poolside furniture because its natural oils resist moisture, chlorine splash, and saltwater exposure year-round. This chair uses kiln-dried grade-A teak sourced under Forest Stewardship Council standards, hand-sanded and left untreated so the wood's inherent silica and oil content can do the work. Horizontal slats across the seat and back let water drain immediately, preventing mold buildup or trapped moisture after rain or pool use. The wood will fade from golden honey to silver-grey under UV exposure -- that's normal oxidation, not structural damage, and it happens whether you're near the ocean or on a suburban deck.

Does Teak Need to Be Oiled or Sealed?

You don't have to oil teak, and this chair arrives with no finish applied. If you prefer the golden color, apply teak oil once or twice a season -- but understand you're choosing cosmetic maintenance, not protecting the wood (teak protects itself). Most owners let it grey naturally and simply rinse it with a hose and soft brush once a month. Never use a pressure washer; it can splinter the surface and force water into joints where it shouldn't go.

Can This Chair Stay Outside All Year?

Yes, the teak and stainless steel can handle year-round exposure in most climates. That said, the chair folds flat to five inches thick in seconds without tools, so if you live where ice and snow pile up, it's easy to slide it into a closet or under a bed until spring. If you leave it out through winter, store it upright or angled so snow can't collect in the seat slats and freeze into the adjustment mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will teak turn grey, and can I stop it?

Yes, UV exposure oxidizes the surface to silver-grey within six to twelve months. You can slow it with seasonal teak oil, but the grey is natural and doesn't compromise strength or weather resistance.

Will the hardware rust near saltwater or a chlorinated pool?

No. The 304-grade stainless steel bolts, hinges, and locking pins are marine-spec and won't corrode in saltwater or chlorine spray.

How much does the chair weigh, and is it easy to move?

Weight is not listed in the specifications, but grade-A teak is dense and the chair will be heavier than aluminum or resin. The folding design makes it easy to carry flat when moving or storing.

Can this stay outside in direct sun all day?

Yes. The teak's natural silica resists UV breakdown and won't crack or splinter under full sun exposure, though the color will fade to grey.

Does this chair arrive assembled, or is there setup required?

It arrives fully assembled. The folding mechanism is tool-free and ready to use out of the box; free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.

Where can I use a folding deck chair on my property?

It works well on small patios, apartment balconies, poolside areas, or boat docks where storage space is tight and you need seating you can fold flat between uses. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor chairs or outdoor dining chairs collections, or read more about durable materials in our outdoor lounge guide.
