Sling seating is built for the wettest, sunniest corners of the patio -- pool decks, salt-air balconies, or any spot where cushions would stay damp. The Sling Collections catalog at LOOMLAN Outdoor offers chairs, chaises, and dining sets engineered to drain fast and resist rust, available with free shipping.
How Does Sling Fabric Handle Sun and Rain?
The mesh is vinyl-coated polyester treated to block UV -- it won't fade to pastel after one season. Water drains through the weave in minutes, so you're not waiting hours for a seat to dry after a storm. The coating also resists mildew, which matters in humid climates or near a pool where spray keeps surfaces damp.
Will the Frame Rust in Coastal or Poolside Air?
Powder-coated aluminum and stainless steel are both rust-proof, even in salt air. Chlorine spray from a pool won't corrode the finish. The coating is baked on, so it won't chip the way paint does. You'll see our full range of outdoor furniture designed for these exposures.
Do You Have to Bring Sling Chairs Inside for Winter?
You can leave them out -- the frame won't rust and the mesh won't crack in freezing temperatures. Covering them or stacking them under an overhang keeps dirt and pollen off, but it's not required for material survival. If you store them, stack flat; sling fabric doesn't need to be removed from the frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can sling seating stay outside all year?
- Yes. The frame is rust-proof and the mesh won't crack in cold or rot in humidity, so year-round outdoor placement is fine.
- Will the fabric fade in direct sun?
- The vinyl coating is UV-stabilized to resist fading. You'll see some gradual lightening after several years in full sun, but not the fast washout that untreated fabrics show.
- How do I clean the mesh and frame?
- Hose off the mesh and wipe the frame with soapy water. For stubborn dirt on the fabric, scrub with a soft brush and rinse.
- Is sling furniture suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?
- Yes. Both powder-coated aluminum and stainless steel resist corrosion in salt air, and the mesh won't degrade from spray.
- Does the sling fabric get hot in the sun?
- It heats up less than solid cushions because air flows through the weave. It cools quickly in shade.
- How is this shipped?
- Free curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove setup and assembly are optional services available for an additional fee.
