This bar stool stacks vertically to free up floor space when a rooftop bar or poolside patio needs to clear for weather or events, and the Marine Grade Polymer slats and powder-coated aluminum frame resist rust, rot and UV fade. The Telescope Avant Bar Height Stacking Armless Outdoor Chair, a 40--42 inch aluminum bar stool with MGP construction, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The armless design lets guests slide in and out easily, and the light gray finish holds its color season after season in coastal salt air or full sun.
Will Aluminum and MGP Rust, Rot, or Fade Outside?
No -- powder-coated aluminum won't rust, and Marine Grade Polymer (Telescope's proprietary resin) won't rot, crack, or absorb water. The multi-stage powder coating seals the aluminum frame against corrosion and chipping, while MGP slats resist UV fading, so the light gray finish stays consistent through years of weather exposure. This combination is engineered for coastal restaurants and poolside bars where salt air, chlorine mist and daily rain would destroy wood or uncoated metal. The non-porous MGP surface also resists staining, which matters when a bar stool sees spilled drinks and sunscreen every night of the summer.
Do You Have to Bring These Inside for Winter?
No -- you can leave them outside year-round, though stacking them under cover extends the finish life. The MGP slats won't crack in freezing temperatures, and the powder-coated aluminum frame handles snow and ice without corroding. If you do stack them for the off-season, they nest vertically to save floor space in a storage room or covered patio corner. Wipe them down with soap and water before you stack them so dirt doesn't sit on the finish for months, and they'll be ready to go when the patio reopens in spring.
Where Does a Stackable Bar Stool Work Best?
This chair is built for hotel rooftop bars, restaurant patios, and poolside dining where capacity shifts from night to night -- stack a dozen when you need room for a cocktail party, then pull them back out for seated service. The 40--42 inch bar height pairs with standard bar tables, and the armless design maximizes legroom at tight counters. If you run multi-height seating, pair these with
outdoor counter stools at lower tables, or mix them into a broader
outdoor bar stool collection for a cohesive look. The light gray finish works with most
outdoor chair palettes, and because they're commercial-grade, they'll hold up to the daily wear of a high-volume venue.
Frequently Asked Questions

- No -- the light gray powder coat and MGP slats resist UV fading, so color stays consistent through seasons of full sun.
- How do I store it over winter?
- Stack the chairs vertically in a storage room or under a covered patio -- the stackable design lets you store dozens in minimal floor space.
