All-weather wicker handwoven over a rust-proof aluminum frame gives this chair the resilience to handle covered-patio humidity and temperature swings without cracking or corroding. The Lloyd Flanders Weekend Retreat Outdoor Lounge Chair is a 32-inch wide, deep-seated lounge chair with plantation-style proportions available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Lloyd Flanders has manufactured outdoor furniture in Michigan since 1906 using proprietary vinyl wicker engineered to resist moisture.
How Does Vinyl Wicker and Aluminum Hold Up on a Covered Patio?
Vinyl wicker resists the cracking and moisture damage that destroys natural wicker, and Lloyd Flanders' proprietary weaving survives covered-patio condensation and rain mist season after season. The aluminum frame underneath won't rust the way steel or wrought iron will, so you're not dealing with oxidation stains on the deck or structural weakening over time. This combination handles the temperature swings and humidity of screened porches and covered patios -- the placement it's engineered for -- without the brittleness you'd get from cheaper resin or the maintenance cycle of natural materials.
Can This Stay Outside All Year?
It can stay on a covered patio year-round, but Lloyd Flanders recommends moving it to a garage or shed for winter in freeze-thaw climates to extend the lifespan of the cushions and wicker finish. The aluminum frame itself handles cold without issue, but repeated freezing moisture can degrade foam-core cushions and fade fabric faster than summer sun alone. If you're keeping it out, pull the cushions inside and cover the frame -- that's the realistic middle ground most people land on.
Where Does This Work Best?
Position it on a covered patio or screened porch where it anchors a conversation zone alongside other pieces from the outdoor lounge chairs collection, or pair multiples to create a dedicated reading corner. The 35.25-inch height and traditional sloped arms suit pool decks under pergolas or large umbrellas, and the plantation aesthetic bridges the gap when you're mixing outdoor accent chairs with indoor pieces on a three-season room. The lightweight aluminum frame makes rearranging easy when you're switching from solo reading to group seating.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the cushion fabric fade in direct sun?
- Yes -- outdoor cushions fade with prolonged UV exposure, which is why Lloyd Flanders recommends covered placement to preserve color and extend cushion lifespan.
- Is the aluminum frame rust-proof?
- Yes, aluminum doesn't rust, so you won't see the oxidation stains or structural weakening that steel and wrought iron develop over time.
- How do I store the cushions over winter?
- Pull the cushions inside to a dry garage or basement before the first freeze to prevent moisture from degrading the foam core and fading the fabric faster than necessary.
- Does this work on a pool deck?
- It works poolside when placed under a pergola or umbrella -- the all-weather construction handles splashes and humidity, but the cushions need shade to avoid accelerated fading.
- What's the difference between a lounge chair and a chaise lounge?
- A chaise lounge has an extended seat for full-body reclining, while this outdoor chair offers deep seating with a more upright profile for conversation and reading.
- What assembly is required?
- Minimal assembly takes approximately 30 minutes -- free curbside delivery is included, and white-glove assembly is available for an additional fee upon request.
