Hanging Chair


Let‘s Hang Out!

If you would like something a little different in your garden, a hanging chair might just fit the bill: great for those lazy days in the sunshine!

Of course, it is a must that you have something to hang it from!




So, what is suitable? A tree branch maybe, the rafter of a pergola, a strong bracket attached to the house or under an arch. Wherever you choose to position your chair, it is important that the structure is strong enough to hold the weight.

Don't be disappointed if there isn't anything suitable to hang it from, there is the option of a free-standing frame, which gives you more flexibility, as you can move it about.


If you do have a support then you can go for a normal hanging chair.


Ideas

This type of garden furniture looks great on a seating area such as a patio, deck or under a pergola.

The free-standing style is great for a modern, sleek and sophisticated look, with its curved shapes and clean lines.

Fabric chairs give a more informal feel and can really jazz up an area.

Both have their place, and create something different and special. The free-standing hanging chairs are more expensive, but if that is the style you wish to create then they are well worth it!

Some are weatherproof: those that are made out of all-weather rattan and those made from weather-proof material. Do check this if you would prefer to leave your chair outside.

Co-ordinate it with your other garden furniture and planting to create a really welcoming space. There are many fabrics to choose from so that you can do this easily.

Maybe use alongside some outdoor bean bags, a hammock and colourful cushions for a very relaxed area. Or have dining furniture in one area, with the 'chill out' area nearby.




Wherever you decide to hang it, I’m sure there will be many takers!
