Beach Chairs

Enjoy a Relaxing Day at the Beach with a Folding Beach Chair

A visit to the beach can be greatly enhanced by having your own beach chair that you can take along with you. Relax and enjoy the beach in comfort with a portable beach chair from the large range available to buy on eBay.

Folding beach chairs are available in a wide variety of different shapes and sizes. You can choose from beach chairs with low seats or perhaps you would prefer a high seat on your chair. A reclining lounger is another option that allows you to sunbathe and sleep in comfort. Think about what size chair you will need and the level of portability. If you need something lightweight, consider the material. As well as the size and shape, it is worth noting whether the beach chair has any special features. Some chairs are specially made to fit into a backpack or come with carrying straps. Other chairs have built-in cup holders or canopies to provide overhead shade.

Folding beach chair frames are usually made from aluminium or steel. Consider the weight of the chair if you are going to be carrying it over long distances. Some beach chairs are made entirely of plastic. If the chair has a fabric component, it might be made of canvas, acrylic, marine-grade material or webbing. Consider these features:

• The ability of the material to withstand beach conditions as the chair needs to function in an environment of wind, sand, salt, and water.
• Folding beach chairs with web or mesh seats might be made from quick-drying fabrics suitable for the beach.
• Mesh chairs allow sand to fall through, look for nylon or UV-treated mesh for sun protection.
• Fabrics that dry quickly are important if you intend to swim in the sea and return to your folding beach chair and don't want to be sitting on a damp seat.
• For durability, look for sturdy fabrics, like polyester, nylon, and webbing.

A folding beach chair with a low seat typically sits less than thirty centimetres off the ground. Some beach goers prefer such low chairs as they allow you to stretch your legs out in the sand. A beach chair with a high seat might be preferred if standing up from a low position is an issue.
