Have you given much thought to the seating options you have when furnishing your outdoor oasis? Even if you haven’t, we have and we’d like to present to you all the reasons why outdoor bar stools are a perfect match for a San Diego backyard made for entertaining.
Why Bar Stools are Popular San Diego Patio Furniture
Did you know? Bar stool seating has been around since the time of ancient Egypt. Once considered purely utilitarian and used by artisans to craft their wares, over the centuries barstools received several upgrades to looks and comfort. Today, furniture stores in San Diego CA carry a myriad of different styles and materials for these popular seats. They are a great match for our moderate climate and give your outdoor space a casual vibe.
Advantages of Outdoor Bar Stools
We can think of several ways that using bar stools for outdoor dining and gathering with friends and family.
For one, when it comes to outdoor bar stools San Diego homeowners find they are easy to move, as needed. This can come in handy when you need to relocate your al fresco get-together, or a windy storm is headed your way and the furniture needs to be secured.
For another, using outdoor bar stools gathered around a pub height or chat height table gives your space a casual and friendly vibe. This is the place where your guests are sure to gather, whether it’s for a meal, to dry off after a dip in the pool, or to play games while enjoying a favorite beverage. After all, bar stools got their name because they were often used in pubs, particularly in Europe.
If your backyard oasis is limited in area, outdoor bar stools are an excellent way to save space. Opt for stools without arms so they tuck underneath a tabletop. If you choose a set of stacking stools, they can be stowed away when not in use and easily brought out when extra company arrives.
Styles and Types
For San Diego patio furniture should be durable and stand up well to our weather conditions, including sea spray, sun rays, wind and humidity. This is true for outdoor bar stools, as well. You will want to select stools that are made from a sturdy material, such as wrought iron, cast aluminum, teak or HDPE.
While upholstered seats add a touch of comfort, they are not the most practical choice as they are prone to attracting dust and dirt and could stain. A sling bar stool may be the best choice as the fabric “breathes”, preventing your legs from sticking to the seat, and they are also easy to keep clean. Remember, too, that Hauser’s Patio can replace sling fabric when it gets worn or dirty.
You may want outdoor bar stools that come with a back, for added support, perhaps arms and definitely a foot rail for extra comfort. Just remember that these features add to the weight and bulk, thus making them a bit more difficult to move.
