Frame Material	Powder-coated aluminum
Sling Material	Quick-dry mesh fabric
Finish	Weather-resistant powder coat
Assembly	Varies by piece

This sling collection pairs powder-coated aluminum frames with quick-dry mesh that drains water instead of holding it. Sling furniture with aluminum construction resists rust in humid climates and handles poolside splashing better than steel. The Sling Collections with breathable mesh seating are available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Powder-Coated Aluminum Hold Up in Rain and Humidity?

Aluminum frames won't rust, even when exposed to rain or moisture daily. The powder-coat finish is baked onto the metal, creating a barrier against UV rays, poolside chlorine, and salt air in coastal yards. Unlike painted steel, which can chip and corrode underneath, powder-coated aluminum resists flaking and maintains its appearance season after season. You can leave these pieces on an open patio through summer storms without worrying about frame corrosion or rust stains on the deck.

Does the Mesh Fabric Stay Dry After a Storm?

Yes, the quick-dry mesh drains water instead of absorbing it. When rain stops, the fabric releases moisture within an hour or two, so you're not sitting on a wet cushion hours later. The mesh also promotes airflow, which keeps the seating surface cooler in direct sun compared to solid upholstery. For coastal locations or humid climates, this breathable material resists mildew better than foam-backed fabrics. Hose off the mesh periodically to clear pollen or dust, and let it air-dry in place.

Do You Need to Store Sling Furniture Indoors for Winter?

The aluminum frames can stay outside year-round without damage, but the mesh fabric lasts longer if you bring the pieces into a garage or shed during freezing months. Snow and ice won't hurt the metal, but repeated freeze-thaw cycles can stress the fabric over multiple winters. If you're in a mild climate where temperatures rarely drop below freezing, the collection can remain outdoors with a waterproof cover. Wipe down the frames with a damp cloth before covering to remove any salt or grime that could sit against the finish all winter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The aluminum frames can, but the mesh fabric will last longer if stored indoors during freezing winters. In mild climates, cover the pieces through the off-season.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The powder-coat finish resists UV fading better than paint, though prolonged exposure over many years may lighten the color slightly. The mesh fabric is designed for outdoor use and holds its color through multiple seasons.

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

Yes, aluminum doesn't corrode in salt air the way steel does, and the powder-coat finish adds an extra layer of protection. Rinse the frames with fresh water every few weeks to prevent salt buildup.

How much weight can a sling chair support?

Weight capacity varies by chair design. Check the specifications for the individual piece you're considering, as frame construction differs across the collection.

Does the mesh fabric get hot in the sun?

The mesh stays cooler than solid cushions because air flows through the weave. It will warm in direct sun but won't retain heat the way vinyl or dense foam does.

What's included with standard delivery?
