More and more people are seeking to recreate the indoor experience in their outdoor gardens. Trendy garden designs now often include a bar area, perfect for relaxing with a drink after a long day's work or on a lazy weekend. As a result, garden bar stools have gained immense popularity in recent years, prompting major garden brands to expand their collections to include these stylish seating options.
At Viva Lagoon, you'll discover a curated selection of bar stools designed specifically for your garden. These stools are not only beautifully designed but also highly functional and built to withstand the elements. Garden stools have become objects of continuous experimentation, both in terms of materials and design.
Materials and Designs
Just like all outdoor garden furniture, bar stools are constructed using durable and weather-resistant materials. Typically, the frames of bar stools are crafted from stainless steel, powder-coated aluminium, polypropylene, or teak wood—known for their exceptional durability.
Polypropylene, aluminium, and steel bar stools are favoured for sleek, contemporary urban gardens, penthouses, and balconies. They often come in an array of trendy colours, ranging from pastels to bold, vibrant hues.
Teak garden bar stools, on the other hand, are known for their sturdiness and versatility, suitable for both modern and classically designed gardens.
In addition to frame materials, there are various options for seat materials. Polypropylene weaving is a popular choice due to its strength, easy maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Some bar stool seats also include cushions and backrests to enhance comfort. These cushions are made from high-quality outdoor fabrics and feature quick-dry foam inserts, ensuring the stools dry quickly after a rain shower.
Choosing the Right Outdoor Bar Stools
When selecting bar stools for your garden, several factors should be considered:
1. Height: Bar stools come in different heights, so it's essential to measure your high table or bar before making a purchase. Counter stools typically range between 65 to 68 cm in height, while bar stools are around 78 cm. We usually offer both heights for each design.
2. Materials: Your choice of materials should be influenced by whether the bar stools will be placed in an entirely open area exposed to frequent rainfall or under a pergola or roof, such as in penthouses. For open areas, materials like aluminium, polypropylene, woven, or stainless steel are ideal as they are easy to maintain and clean with a simple hose spray. Teak frames and upholstered seats are better suited for areas with roofing, reducing maintenance requirements.
Whether you're selecting outdoor bar stools for your outdoor kitchen counter or a small high table on your balcony, they will undoubtedly enhance your outdoor space, creating enjoyable social moments—whether it's a sunny day or a cool summer night.
