Bring the seaside to your garden...

Deck chairs are great for placing on a decked area or patio in the garden. This traditional design is nostalgic of days spent on the beach at the seaside or in the park having a picnic. And now you can bring that feeling straight to your garden this summer with our pick of the best.

There's a great range of wooden deck chairs available to buy, and some alternative options too. The best thing about deck chairs is that out of all the pieces of garden furniture you may want to buy – bistro sets, corner sofas, sun loungers, day beds etc., – they're the easiest and most space-saving of all.

With a deck chair you simply fold it away when not in use, allowing for easy storage during the colder months. And, thanks to its slimline frame, it hardly takes up any space at all. It's also great if you need additional outdoor seating, as it's super easy to carry and set up in seconds.

Most deck chairs boast a canvas fabric, which ensures comfort. And of course, there's a great range of designs available, whether you want to keep it neutral, with classic stripes, or bold and colourful patterns.

When searching for a new deck chair, ensure you look for one that has been made with a sturdy hardwood frame, and one that is ergonomically designed, so that it will provide great support. And most deck chairs come with adjustable positions for comfort so you can truly relax and recline in style.
