The Marine Grade Polymer frame resists chlorine, saltwater, rust, rot, and cracking -- built for poolside and coastal exposure without the corrosion problems that attack metal outdoor seating. The Telescope Leeward MGP Sling Armless Stacking Side Chair, an armless stackable patio chair engineered to BIFMA contract standards, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The breathable sling drains water instantly after rain and prevents mold, so you skip cushion storage and mildew headaches.
How Does Marine Grade Polymer Handle Chlorine and Salt Air?
MGP is a non-porous polymer that won't corrode, rust, or crack when splashed with pool chemicals or exposed to ocean spray -- problems that destroy powder-coated aluminum in the same conditions. Both the frame and the UV-stabilized sling include inhibitors that resist fading across multiple seasons in direct sun. The material stays intact from -40°F to 180°F, so winter freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat won't warp or weaken the structure. You can hose the chair clean after a party without worrying about moisture seeping into joints or fabric that stays damp and mildews.
Can This Stay Outside All Year?
Yes -- the non-porous MGP frame and quick-drying sling are engineered to remain outdoors year-round without degrading. If you stack multiples for winter, the 15-chair capacity means you can consolidate an entire dining set in a closet or shed, protecting it from snow load while freeing up deck space. In coastal climates where salt air corrodes metal furniture within a season, MGP holds up without the rust stains or pitting you'd see on aluminum. Just hose off debris in spring and the chairs are ready to use.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the sage green fade in full sun?
- Both frame and sling include UV inhibitors that maintain color consistency across multiple seasons -- far better fade resistance than standard resin or untreated fabric.
- Is this suitable for a salt-air location near the ocean?
- Yes, Marine Grade Polymer is non-metal and won't corrode in coastal conditions the way powder-coated aluminum does.
- How do I store a stack of these over winter?
- Stack up to 15 chairs vertically in a standard closet or shed; the narrow 20-inch width and engineered stacking design prevent tipping or frame damage.
- Does the sling fabric hold water or get moldy?
- No, the breathable sling drains water instantly after rain and resists mold and mildew, so you never need cushions or off-season fabric storage.
- What assembly is required when it arrives?
- Minimal assembly -- the sling fabric attaches to frame anchor points, typically without tools.
- How does this chair ship?
- Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; white-glove placement and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
