Frontier Aluminum Outdoor Lounge Chair

Details at a Glance

Corrosion-resistant aluminum and synthetic Lloyd Loom wicker hold up to sun, rain, and salt air without rust or rot, while solution-dyed Sunbrella cushions keep their color under poolside UV exposure. The Lloyd Flanders Frontier Aluminum Outdoor Lounge Chair is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 45.8 pounds it's light enough to rearrange across the patio but steady enough to resist wind.

Will Aluminum and All-Weather Wicker Rust or Mildew?

No -- aluminum won't corrode in coastal humidity or chlorine spray, and synthetic Lloyd Loom wicker doesn't absorb moisture so mold can't take hold. The Durium modified polyester enamel finish guards the frame against chemical exposure and holds color across twenty finish options. Sunbrella acrylic uses solution-dyed fibers, meaning pigment runs through the entire strand rather than sitting on the surface, so UV rays can't bleach the cushions the way they would dyed cotton or untreated polyester.

Can This Lounge Chair Stay Outside Year-Round?

Yes, though winter storage extends finish life. The aluminum frame and synthetic wicker resist freeze-thaw cycles, but the manufacturer recommends wiping the frame dry after heavy rain and applying automotive wax twice a year to protect the enamel. Store the Sunbrella cushions indoors or in a ventilated deck box during months of freezing rain to prevent ice from stressing seams.

Where Does This Work Best on a Deck or Poolside?

Place it anywhere full sun and chlorine or salt air demand materials engineered to resist both. The all-aluminum build suits coastal patios, hotel pool decks, and rooftop terraces where steel would rust and wood would warp. Pair it with pieces from the outdoor lounge chairs or outdoor accent chairs collections for layered seating, or add outdoor dining chairs in a matching finish to tie the patio together. More layout advice is in the outdoor lounge furniture guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will aluminum furniture rust near a pool?

No -- aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant, and the Durium enamel finish adds a second layer of protection against chlorine and salt spray.

Is this lounge chair light enough to move but heavy enough to stay put in wind?

At 45.8 pounds it's manageable for one person to reposition but stable enough that gusts won't tip or slide it across the deck.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The modified polyester enamel is formulated for outdoor UV exposure and resists color shift, though waxing twice a year helps maintain the original luster.

Do the Sunbrella cushions fade?

Solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic retains color through years of sun because the pigment is embedded in the fiber, not applied as a surface dye.

How do I store it over winter?

The frame and wicker can stay outside, but bring the cushions indoors or store them in a ventilated bin to prevent ice damage to seams.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Standard free curbside delivery includes the chair ready to use; white-glove setup is available for an additional fee upon request.
