Even if beach chairs are described as weatherproof or even winterproof, you should safely overwinter your beach chair. Often the materials suffer from the moisture and frost in winter, so you have to repair the basket afterwards.
How can you properly overwinter a beach chair?
To safely overwinter your beach chair, it is best to store it frost-free in the garage or basement. If it needs to stay outside, place it on wooden planks, wooden pallets or stones and use a breathable cover. Ventilate on dry days.
Winter the beach chair as frost-free as possible
It is best to store your beach chair in a protected place in the garage or basement in winter. Wetness and frost otherwise cause a lot of problems for the material.
If you have to overwinter the beach chair outside, place it on wooden planks, a wooden pallet or stones to winterize it and protect it from moisture from below.
Cover it with a beach chair cover (€37.00 on Amazon), which you can get from a garden store. The cover may only be put on when the beach chair is completely dry. On dry days in winter, you should ventilate the cover occasionally to prevent the beach chair from getting moldy.
Tip
You can easily sew new covers and fabric coverings for your beach chair yourself. Use sturdy, impregnated fabric for upholstery. Awning fabric is well suited.
