1. Mounting and weight ratings

Confirm the beam or stand rating exceeds the combined chair and user weight. Use outdoor-rated hardware and check fixings seasonally after wind events.

2. Materials for sun and coast

Powder-coated steel or aluminium frames and PE rattan weaves handle UV better than untreated timber. Rinse salt spray on coastal sites.

3. Comfort, cushions and covers

Look for removable outdoor cushions and a breathable cover. Open-weave seats dry faster after summer storms.

4. Placement and neighbours

Keep swing arcs clear of glass doors and shared fences. On balconies check body-corporate rules before drilling into slabs or ceilings.
