1. Work stool vs entertaining stool

Choose wheeled gardening seats for beds and borders. Choose outdoor bar or bistro stools when the goal is drinks on the deck.

2. Height, weight rating and stability

Confirm seat height against your table. Wide bases resist tip-overs on pavers. Check load ratings before sharing stools with guests.

3. Materials for outdoor use

Powder-coated steel, aluminium, UV plastic and outdoor rattan cope with rain and sun. Add foot pads to protect timber decking.

4. Storage and care

Stack or fold when storms hit. Wipe grit from wheel axles on rolling seats. Rinse coastal salt to slow corrosion on metal frames.
