Everything for the garden: beach chair Video Guide

It is a special seating for the beach. In 1595, the armchairs, made of willow wood at that time, were used indoors to protect against drafts. Today beach chairs consist of a wooden frame with wickerwork. The wooden frame is in two parts. The upper element consists of a covered, semi-circular arched seating niche. This can be lowered in different reclining positions to the rear. The basket is lined with weatherproof fabric. Thus, he protects, during a beach stay, from wind, rain, sand and sun. Built-in folding table, one to two suspended side tables, lock in a milled groove, a retractable sun awning and pull-out and padded footstools and armrests make the beach chair a comfortable chair on the beach. In the upper transition of the backrest to the top, almost all baskets have a cross-stretched cord to hang up towels or textiles. In Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Lower Saxony, the beach chairs can be found in almost all seaside resorts and holiday resorts in the Baltic Sea and North Sea. Usually, they can be rented from spring to autumn at Strandkorbwärtern. The beach chair is a cult object of German Gemütlichkeit. The appearance has never changed, neither during the two world wars, nor because of the East-West divide or the social and industrial revolution.

The standard model has hardly changed its design and shape since about 1910. It is a two-seater of 120cm wide, 160cm high and weighs between 70 and 80 kilograms. It consists of four basic elements. The basis is formed by the buck, which is usually made of spruce or pine and treated against the effects of weather. Sometimes a beach chair is made of Asian teak, African iroko, birch multiplex or plywood boards. The two side parts, which are bolted to the box, are equipped with carrying handles on the outside. The transition into a roof back part is called a hood. This is rear, with the help of two to three metal loops, hung on the box. So it can be adjusted to the rear, in four to five locks. The frame of the hood and the side parts is wooden and filled with wickerwork. Most beach chairs, 95 percent, are braided from plastic strips. If natural material is used, it is usually imported rattan or bamboo imported and painted tubular bast. Traditionally, the baskets were made of willow. Such baskets are very rare. The all-weather seat is lined with PVC film or impregnated awning fabric. The seat is filled with coconut mat or foam. For the wicker work are usually used natural or white. Of course, the use of other colors is also possible. So there are beach chairs in bright and sunny colors. The lining is often made of a striped fabric pattern. However, seasonal fashions are also popular. Rental baskets also have wooden lattices. These make it possible to close the seating niche when not in use or when absent. Beach baskets are also available in other sizes on special order. Everything is possible from one-seater to five-seater. It is also possible to produce the baskets with additional equipment, such as sewn-in side pockets, referred to as reading bags, removable tables or with folding seats. The comfortable beach chairs are also becoming increasingly popular as garden or patio furniture. These are often equipped with protective covers and rollers. As in almost all areas, there are also luxury options here. They are equipped with a bar, a music system, a fridge or a built-in heater. The Baltic Sea form, with curved, rounded sides and a curved hood, differs from the North Sea form, which has an edgy top and straight sides. Usually they are half-winners, which can be adjusted up to 55 degrees to the rear. Some North Sea baskets can be adjusted 90 degrees backwards. These are then referred to as a lying model. The Sylt basket is an evolution. His hood can be moved continuously, via a spring train. The Ostseekorb is more widespread, because he does not seem so edgy. Both forms exist both on the Baltic Sea and on the North Sea. On the beaches in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, there are also rare beach chairs in the construction of the GDR production. Their sides consist of chipboard and the hoods of bent phenolic resin. Since the baskets are not braided and partly consist of chipboard, they are referred to as a type plate. Rehna's made in Rehna are completely dismantled.

First, it must be considered what the beach chair should be used for. If it is for the garden and should serve as a garden lounger, offers a couch model, which can be adjusted with a handle by 90 degrees to the rear. A basket, which should be on the balcony, or on the beach, to look at the environment, does not have to be adjustable by 90 degrees. Here is enough for a half-winner, which can be adjusted by 55 degrees backwards. Another question that arises is the question of form. The Baltic models look round. The North Sea models, however, seem edgy. Because there are many shapes and colors in the baskets, there are no limits to creativity. However, you should definitely pay attention to the material when buying. Natural materials look and are very popular, but are limited or not waterproof at all. They are therefore particularly susceptible to moisture and need more care. Beach chairs made of plastic are more robust. These come visually very close to the natural beach chairs ran, but are easy to clean. If you want to have a beach chair made of wood, there is a basket made of teak, which is naturally water-repellent. But also here the quality must be respected. Was the wood properly stored before processing? Was the wood properly dried? Otherwise, the wood may deform. This can then lead to decay, since the moisture can penetrate by deformation. On the fittings and the clothing should, at the purchase, also be respected. Stainless steel or galvanized steel are suitable for the fittings because they do not rust. For the outer covering offers poly rattan, a special plastic mesh on. It is very durable, UV resistant and easy to care for. In addition, care should be taken when purchasing that it has carrying devices on the sides and over rollers to allow a relocation. If the beach chair is a multi-seater, care should be taken that the backrests are independently adjustable. When buying should also be paid to a sufficient padding. Also for the footrests, because the beach chair should be comfortable. It is advisable to inform yourself about their equipment. Does the beach chair have fold-out tables? Are these needed? Are there side pockets to possibly put a book or the sunscreen into it? Whether in the garden, on the balcony, the terrace or on the beach. Beach chairs are versatile, functional and comfortable.
