Grand Traverse Outdoor Lounge Chair Sunbrella

Details at a Glance

The Grand Traverse outdoor lounge chair is built around two materials chosen specifically to handle years of sun, rain, and poolside humidity: a rust-proof welded aluminum frame and hand-woven Lloyd Loom vinyl wicker that resists the cracking and peeling common in standard resin weaves. This Lloyd Flanders Grand Traverse lounge chair is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The Sunbrella cushion fabric resists UV fade and moisture absorption, and the wicker cleans with nothing more than warm water and mild detergent.

Will Lloyd Loom Wicker Hold Up in Full Sun and Rain?

Lloyd Loom wicker is a cellulose-strand weave that's been manufactured in Michigan since 1906, engineered to resist cracking, peeling, and moisture absorption where solid resin wicker eventually degrades. The vinyl coating sheds rain instead of soaking it in, and the weave doesn't become brittle under direct UV exposure the way untreated natural fibers do. You'll see the difference after two or three summers -- the weave stays tight and the color holds. The aluminum frame underneath is welded, not bolted, and finished with Durium Modified Polyester Enamel that won't corrode in humidity or salt air.

Can This Lounge Chair Stay Outside All Year?

The aluminum frame and vinyl wicker can remain outdoors through winter without rust or structural damage. The Sunbrella cushions have moisture-resistant encasement, but you'll extend their life by storing them in a covered bin or garage during months of heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles. If you're leaving the frame out, hosing off accumulated dirt and pollen in spring keeps the wicker looking clean. The chair doesn't need tarping in mild climates, but a furniture cover adds a layer of protection against leaves and debris if it's sitting unused for months.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 19-inch cushioned seat height and 24.5-inch arm height make this a true deep-seating lounge chair -- it's built for poolside reading or afternoon conversation, not quick perching. Pair it with other pieces from our outdoor lounge chairs collection or layer in outdoor accent chairs for a full seating arrangement. The customizable Sunbrella fabric and choice of Caramel or Bisque wicker let you match it to covered patios, open decks, or screened porches, and the USA-made construction means replacement cushions and frame parts stay available long after purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this lounge chair stay outside in winter?

The aluminum frame and wicker can, but you should store the Sunbrella cushions indoors during prolonged freezing weather to avoid moisture buildup inside the fill.

Will the Sunbrella fabric fade in direct sun?

Sunbrella-grade fabrics are solution-dyed and resist UV fade far better than standard outdoor textiles -- you'll see little to no color shift after multiple seasons.

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

Yes, the welded aluminum frame is rust-resistant and the vinyl wicker doesn't corrode, making it a solid choice for beachfront patios.

How do you clean the wicker and cushions?

Wipe the wicker with warm water and mild detergent; the cushions' moisture-resistant encasement can be spot-cleaned or hosed off and air-dried.

What's the difference between this and a standard chaise lounge?

A chaise lounge reclines fully and supports your legs; this is a deep-seating lounge chair with an upright back, designed for sitting rather than lying flat.

Does assembly or delivery cost extra?

Standard curbside delivery is free to the continental USA. White-glove services like in-room placement or assembly are available for an additional fee upon request.
