Sling Collections

Details at a Glance

Sling furniture is built around one thing: a mesh fabric that drains instead of pooling. Rain runs straight through, the seat dries in minutes, and you're not wrestling wet cushions every time a storm rolls in. The Sling Collection is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Well Does Mesh Sling Fabric Hold Up Outdoors?

It's designed for exactly this. The mesh is woven from solution-dyed yarns that lock UV inhibitors into every fiber, so fading is minimal even in full sun. Water drains on contact -- there's no standing moisture to breed mildew, no cushion to rot. The fabric stretches slightly under weight and returns to shape when you stand, so sagging over years is far slower than you'd see with a solid seat. Salt air and humidity don't break down the weave the way they would untreated canvas.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

No, but you'll extend its life if you do. The sling fabric itself is frost-proof -- freezing won't crack or delaminate it. Powder-coated frames resist rust through most winter weather. That said, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and months of snow load will wear the powder coat faster, and ice can stress frame joints. If you leave it out, tip the chairs forward so snow slides off and water doesn't sit in the sling. If you have storage space, covering or moving pieces indoors in the off-season keeps them looking new longer.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Poolside, where wet bathing suits are the norm and you need seating that dries before the next person sits down. Coastal decks where salt spray corrodes anything with exposed metal -- powder coat on aluminum holds up far better than bare steel or wood hardware. Open patios in full sun, where cushioned furniture would either fade or need constant rotating into shade. Pair sling chairs with pieces from our outdoor dining collection for a cohesive setup, or anchor a conversation area with tables from our outdoor occasional tables range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can sling furniture stay outside all year?

Yes, the mesh and powder-coated frames are built for it, though covering or storing during heavy snow and ice will preserve the finish longer.

Will the mesh fabric fade in direct sun?

Minimal fading -- the yarns are solution-dyed with UV inhibitors throughout, not surface-coated, so color loss is slow even in intense sun.

Is the frame rust-proof in coastal or salt-air locations?

Powder-coated aluminum resists salt corrosion very well; steel frames can develop surface rust over time in salt air unless rinsed and kept dry.

How do I clean the sling fabric?

Hose it down and scrub with mild soap and a soft brush. The mesh drains immediately, so there's no drying time.

Does the sling fabric sag over time?

It stretches slightly under use and returns to shape when unloaded; sagging happens eventually but far more slowly than cushion compression.

Is assembly included with delivery?

Standard delivery is free curbside; assembly and setup are available as optional paid services upon request.
