White Pod Rattan and Aluminum Hanging Chair

Details at a Glance

Powder-coated aluminum won't rust and synthetic rattan won't crack from UV exposure, so this chair handles the conditions on a covered porch or three-season room without the maintenance headaches of natural materials. The Artesia White Pod Rattan and Aluminum Hanging Chair -- a 33-inch wide suspended chair with a 200-inch hanging rope and Dacron-filled cushion -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

Will Aluminum and Synthetic Rattan Hold Up Outdoors?

Powder-coated aluminum resists corrosion, so rain and humidity won't cause rust spots or structural weakness the way bare steel would. The synthetic poly rattan covering is UV-resistant and won't fade, crack, or splinter like natural wicker, making it a low-maintenance choice for covered patios where the chair sees indirect sun and occasional rain. Both materials handle temperature swings and damp air without warping, though this chair performs best in covered outdoor areas rather than fully exposed decks.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to bring the chair inside, but you should remove the cushion and store it indoors during prolonged rain or freezing months to prevent mildew and extend its life. The aluminum frame and synthetic rattan can stay mounted through winter if they're under a roof or pergola, though wiping down the weave with a damp cloth before storage prevents dirt buildup. If your patio is fully exposed, covering the chair or bringing it into a garage protects the finish and the weave from heavy snow and ice.

Where Does a Hanging Chair Work Best on a Covered Patio?

This works best in a corner of a covered porch or alongside your outdoor dining chairs where the swinging motion won't interfere with foot traffic. The white finish and curved cocoon shape pair naturally with other pieces in outdoor accent chairs and outdoor chairs collections if you're building a layered seating area. You can also suspend it indoors near a window in a bedroom or living room corner to create a reading nook, though you'll need a ceiling beam or support structure strong enough to hold the weight -- mounting hardware isn't included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the aluminum frame rust if it gets wet?

No, the powder-coated aluminum resists corrosion, so rain and humidity won't cause rust spots or weaken the frame.

Can synthetic rattan fade in direct sun?

Poly rattan is UV-resistant and won't crack or fade the way natural wicker does, though this chair is recommended for covered areas rather than full-sun exposure.

Can this stay outside all year?

The frame and weave can stay mounted in a covered area through winter, but you should remove and store the cushion indoors to prevent mildew and damage from freezing temps.

Is it light enough to move but stable in wind?

The aluminum frame keeps the chair lightweight for repositioning, but once it's hung and weighted with a person, it's stable -- strong wind may cause swinging if the chair is empty and fully exposed.

How do I clean synthetic rattan?

Wipe the weave with a damp cloth to remove dirt and pollen; no special cleaners or oil treatments are needed.

Does this ship fully assembled?

The chair itself arrives pre-assembled with the 200-inch rope included, and LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA. You'll need to install your own ceiling or beam mount hardware, which isn't included.
