Grand Traverse Barrel Outdoor Dining Chair Sunbrella

Details at a Glance

The vinyl Lloyd Loom wicker doesn't absorb water or expand in humidity, and the welded aluminum frame carries a corrosion-resistant polyester enamel that holds up to rain without rust. The Grand Traverse Barrel outdoor dining chair with Sunbrella cushions, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, is a USA-made all-weather wicker chair built for patios that see full sun and seasonal moisture. The barrel silhouette includes arms at 25.5 inches and a decorative button-back for ergonomic support.

How Does Vinyl Wicker and Aluminum Hold Up to UV and Rain?

Vinyl Lloyd Loom wicker -- a material handcrafted since 1906 -- doesn't crack, peel, or rot because it's inherently non-absorbent. The welded aluminum frame resists corrosion, and the Durium polyester enamel finish repels moisture and salt air without flaking. Sunbrella cushion fabric is solution-dyed, so the color runs through the fiber and won't fade in direct sun; the moisture-resistant foam casing keeps the fill dry after a downpour. The combination of these materials makes this chair suitable for coastal locations and open decks where high UV exposure and humidity are constant.

What Maintenance Does Wicker and Sunbrella Need Off-Season?

You can leave the frame and wicker outside year-round -- wipe the weave with warm water and mild detergent to remove pollen and grime. The Sunbrella cushions are water-repellent and mildew-resistant, so they don't need to come inside between uses, but storing them in a bin or shed over winter extends their lifespan in climates with heavy freeze-thaw cycles. The aluminum frame requires no oiling or sealing -- its finish is baked on and won't corrode from snow or ice melt.

Where Does a Barrel-Back Dining Chair Work Best?

The 31-inch width and 25.5-inch arm height fit comfortably around a rectangular table on a covered patio or open lanai. Pair it with other pieces from the outdoor dining chairs collection for a cohesive set, or mix the barrel silhouette with armless chairs from the outdoor chairs lineup to vary seating around a large table. The antimicrobial, mildew-resistant materials also suit commercial restaurants and hospitality settings where seating sees daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, the vinyl wicker is non-absorbent and the aluminum frame resists rust and corrosion through freeze-thaw cycles. Cushions can stay out in mild climates or be stored in a bin to extend fabric life.

Will the wicker or cushion fabric fade in direct sun?

The vinyl wicker is UV-stable and doesn't bleach, and Sunbrella fabric is solution-dyed so color won't fade even under intense sunlight.

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

Yes, the welded aluminum frame and polyester enamel finish repel salt air without corroding, and the vinyl wicker doesn't absorb moisture from sea spray.

Do the cushions need to be removed after rain?

No, the Sunbrella fabric is water-repellent and the foam fill has a moisture-resistant casing, so the cushions dry quickly. Wiping them down speeds the process.
