Pietra Adjustable Backrest Outdoor Chaise

Details at a Glance

Poolside loungers live in direct sun, splash zones, and high humidity -- which is why this one starts with a fully welded powder-coated graphite aluminum frame and UV-stable olefin rope. The Sunset West Pietra Adjustable Backrest Outdoor Chaise, a five-position poolside chaise with all-weather rope construction and commercial-grade aluminum framing, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 78.5 inches long and 28.5 inches wide, it fits narrow balconies and full resort-deck layouts alike.

How Well Do Aluminum and Olefin Rope Stand Up to Pool Chemicals and Sun?

The frame is fully welded aluminum with a scratch-resistant powder coat, so it won't rust when splashed with chlorinated water or corrode in salt air. The stone-grey olefin rope is UV stable and colorfast -- it resists fading even when the chaise sits in full sun all afternoon. That rope is also stain-resistant, so sunscreen and tanning oils wipe away with mild soap and water. The Sunbrella cushions are water-resistant and dry quickly after a rain shower, though storing them under cover during heavy storms keeps the foam core in better shape long-term.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside for Winter?

The aluminum frame and rope can stay outside year-round in most climates without structural damage. If you're in an area with heavy snow or weeks of freezing rain, it's smart to store the cushions indoors or under weatherproof covers so the foam doesn't stay waterlogged and freeze. The frame itself only needs a wipe-down with a soft cloth and mild soap in spring to clear any pollen or dirt buildup. Avoid abrasive scrubbers on the powder coat and rope -- they'll scratch the finish or fray the weave.

Where Does a Five-Position Chaise Work Best on a Patio?

Position it beside the pool where you want to shift from upright reading to flat tanning without moving furniture, or line several along a resort-style deck with a few pieces from the outdoor accent chairs collection for guests who prefer sitting up. The graphite finish pairs well with natural wood decking, travertine tile, and concrete, and at 44.5 pounds the chaise is light enough to reposition daily but heavy enough not to slide in wind. If you're outfitting a narrow balcony, the 28.5-inch width leaves room for a side table from the outdoor accessories range without crowding the space. It also works in covered sunrooms where you want the look of outdoor loungers with protection from direct weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The aluminum frame and rope are built for year-round outdoor use, but storing the cushions indoors during heavy winter rain or snow will keep the foam in better condition.

Will the rope or finish fade in direct sun?

The olefin rope is UV stable and colorfast, and the powder-coated aluminum finish resists fading, so both hold their color through full-sun exposure.

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

Yes -- the powder-coated aluminum won't corrode in salt air, and the rope resists moisture and staining, making it a strong choice for beachfront patios.

What's the difference between this and a standard chaise lounge?

This sun lounger offers five adjustable reclining positions and is specifically engineered with weather-resistant materials for prolonged outdoor use, while many chaise lounges have fixed backs or indoor-only upholstery.

How do the Sunbrella cushions hold up to pool splashes?

Sunbrella fabric is water-resistant and quick-drying, so light splashes dry on their own, though it's not fully waterproof and benefits from covered storage during storms.

Does it require assembly, and is delivery included?

The chaise ships fully assembled and ready to use, and free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
