Summit Aluminum Frame Outdoor Lounge Chair

Details at a Glance

Corrosion is the enemy of any poolside chair, and this one is built to outlast it: the all-aluminum frame does not absorb moisture and will not rust in chlorine spray or salt air. The Lloyd Flanders Summit Aluminum Frame Outdoor Lounge Chair with hand-woven Lloyd Loom wicker is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The Durium modified polyester enamel finish resists UV fade and chemical exposure across 20 color options, and at 28.3 lbs you can move the chair where you need it without dragging heavy furniture across the deck.

Will Aluminum Furniture Rust Around a Pool or in Coastal Air?

No -- aluminum does not rust. Unlike steel, which corrodes when exposed to moisture and oxygen, aluminum forms a protective oxide layer that blocks further oxidation. That makes this lounge chair safe to leave poolside through chlorine splash, humidity, and salt spray. The fully welded frame has no joints where water can pool, and the Durium modified polyester enamel finish adds a second barrier against chemical exposure and UV degradation. You still need to rinse off chlorine and dirt with mild soap and water, and twice-yearly automotive wax keeps the finish looking sharp, but you will not see rust pitting or frame failure the way you would with untreated steel or low-grade powder coat.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

It can, but covering it or bringing it into a garage over winter extends the finish life. The aluminum frame itself is corrosion-resistant and handles freezing rain, snow load, and summer UV without structural damage. The hand-crafted Lloyd Loom wicker is rated for both indoor and outdoor use, so moisture will not rot the weave. That said, any outdoor finish benefits from protection during months of non-use -- a furniture cover blocks ice buildup and keeps the enamel from chalking in extreme cold. If you leave it out uncovered, plan to clean and re-wax in early spring.

Is It Light Enough to Move but Stable Enough for Wind?

At 28.3 lbs, you can lift and reposition this chair without help, but it is heavy enough that moderate wind will not tip it. Aluminum's strength-to-weight ratio means the frame stays rigid under load while remaining easy to rearrange as you shift your outdoor lounge chairs from sun to shade. For high-wind areas or open rooftops, you can still anchor or cluster chairs together, but in typical patio and poolside settings the weight is right where it needs to be. Pair it with other pieces from the outdoor accent chairs and outdoor chairs collections for a mixed seating setup that is easy to reconfigure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The Durium modified polyester enamel is formulated for exterior durability and resists UV fade better than standard paint, though any outdoor finish will show some change after years of full-sun exposure. Twice-yearly waxing slows that process.

Is this comfortable without a cushion?

The woven Lloyd Loom seat has some give, and the 24.5 in. arm height supports relaxed posture, but most people add a cushion -- the seat height with cushion is 20 in., which makes standing up easier.

How do I store it over winter?

Cover it with a breathable furniture cover if leaving it outside, or move it into a shed or garage. Rinse off dirt and apply automotive wax before covering to protect the finish.

What is Lloyd Loom wicker?

Lloyd Loom is a hand-crafted woven material made in the USA from paper-wrapped wire, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It resists moisture better than natural rattan.

Can I use this near saltwater?

Yes -- aluminum does not corrode in salt air, and the Durium enamel resists chemical exposure. Rinse the frame and wicker regularly to remove salt residue and prevent buildup.

Does it ship fully assembled, or do I need to put it together?

Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA. Assembly status is not specified; white-glove setup and in-room placement are available upon request for an additional fee.
