And there are many varieties available to choose from. Try settling into an Adirondack style chair with its high back, sloping seat and oversized armrests. Put your feet up with a matching ottoman and enjoy some refreshing relaxation in an American classic. Maybe you want to live the resort lifestyle and lounge on a chaise or maybe you want to enjoy a little Southern comfort in a rocking chair. Or snuggle up with your honey on a garden bench amongst lush foliage and bright blooms.

Before you decide what kind of chair you want you have to figure out what kind of chair you need. Are you going to be sitting on it to relax or to eat? Do you want it to move? Do you want to stretch your legs out and put your feet up? Do you want to share it? Once you answer these questions you can begin looking at the different styles of dining chairs, lounge chairs, swings, rockers or gliders, chairs with ottomans, chaises, steamers, benches and settees.

Most commonly patio chairs are made of wood. Different types of wood have varying life spans. Teak with its natural weather resistance generally lasts for fifty years, other woods like pine, cypress and mahogany have shorter life spans but most will last at least five years. Chairs made of resin have the look and feel of painted wood and will last a lifetime with virtually no maintenance.

A patio can't function without chairs on it. Where would your dinner party guests sit? Where would you relax in the misty morning with a hot cup of Joe and a songbird symphony?
