So these chairs come in a set of 3, which includes the outdoors table. There are two variations of this chair set. One set is a rocker style of chair and the other pictured on the right is your more traditional patio chair. The patio rocker has a 350 lbs weight capacity, while the other set has a 300 lbs capacity. Both styles of chairs are available in beige or red.
While the spring rocker type of patio chair has a higher weight capacity and a wider seat, I prefer the more stable base foundation. However, if you want to check out the Phi Villa 350 lbs rocking patio chairs you can check them out on amazon here.
While these more traditional patio chairs don’t rock, they do recline. Only two positions but that is enough for me. I really like how the chairs are made for the outdoors.
The steel frame is powder coated to resist rust from water while the padded cushions are UV resistant. Do note the padding is attached to the chair. So you can’t remove it. However you can scrub them down with soapy water and a hose as the fabric is meant for the outdoors. It won’t go moldy on you. For more choices visit our heavy duty patio chairs.

More Overweight Chairs For Big People
So you want more?. Of course, don’t we all. Ok, so there’s a few more outdoor chairs available to us heavier folk. These chairs are a little different in their own ways. Different but still very stylish. I could easily have all of these chairs out on my back patio, if the Wife allowed it of course. But I do think I’m starting to sway her towards the ‘Dream Chair’.
I love the unique design, it's like being on a hammock, but with the feeling of more support. The built in canopy is a real nice touch. Especially if you know exactly where you want to put this chair, all you have to do is set it up in the opposite direction of the sun and your laughing.
Oh it's also available in many different colors to match many styles and decors.
Love The Look Of The Dream Chair
But Think Its TOO Hard To Assemble? WRONG!
If your anything like me and just by the sight of the Dream Chair you quivered in your chair from the thought of assembling it. Well don’t be. My Wife kindly pointed me in the direction of this video on how to assembly the Dream Chair. Now I guess that means we are getting one. Or maybe 2, who knows!
Outdoor Deck/Garden/Rocker Stylish Chair For Big People
So this chair by DC America could have fit into many categories, so I just added it down here because it really is a unique chair in it’s own league. It’s one of my personal favorites chairs for outdoors only tho. Although I do advise you to invest in a nice comfortable cushion because after long sitting periods you tend to get the pattern from the metal on the backs of your legs. However it’s a really comfortable chair that can also rock by its springs (see picture), it just looks fantastic and it shouldn’t rust on you. Which is what we want from an outdoors chair.
*Heavy Duty Wrought Iron - What we want!
*Professional & Stylish Chair - We Deserve it
*Gentle rock motion - Perfect for lazy days
Best Outdoors Pool Chair For Heavy People
For anyone big or small looking for a new pool chair, then I recommend the Caravan Canopy Oversized Zero Gravity Recliner. It’s an ultra tough hard wearing rust resistant work of art. Ok so maybe I went a tad overboard. But you get the picture.
It’s a super strong chair with double thick stitching and can hold up to 330 lbs. Not the biggest chair by any means but still it’s definitely one of the nicer pool chairs going around for the larger people.
So I hear grey is the ‘in’ color for 2016, maybe so. I’m not that much of a decorator. Anyways, point being this chair comes in the grey variety as well as other colors. So if grey turn’s out to not be the new color for 2016, then we got options.
*Movable comfy pillow - Nice touch
*330 Pound weight capacity
*Long and comfortable arm rests
*You can lay in the 'Zero Gravity' position - Which is the most relaxing position known to man as it supports the best blood flow, relieves stress to the heart and has virtually no stress on the muscles, joint, bones etc.
Do u do deck chair for 400lbs people
Hi Jen, you could try our listing on Patio chairs and Wicker Chairs: https://forbigandheavypeople.com/wicker-chairs-for-heavy-people/
, https://forbigandheavypeople.com/heavy-duty-patio-chairs-for-heavy-people/
I came here looking for an outdoor storage bench about 52 inches long
You won’t find them here sorry MarlaAnne.
Hi, looking for a outdoor chair with a 400 lb – 450 lb weight capacity.
Have you considered a directors chair?. These chairs here have a high weight capacity https://forbigandheavypeople.com/extra-heavy-duty-directors-chairs-for-big-tall/
Looking for a resin chaise lounge with adjustable back for use at the pool. Weight capacity 290. Any recommendations?
Hi Kathleen. I’ve had a quick look around. It’s not easy getting weight capacities on these. However, I did find one that states in the comments for the product: “The Omega Lounge is rated for 150 kilos (approx.. 330 lbs.) via ENI Testing”. They are Italian made and come in a set of two. You can find them on amazon here. I will keep an eye out for more.
Hi. Looking for black or dark green furniture for front porch. The Mainstays Stanton set of love seat, two chairs and table with red cushions would do OK but we already have a glass topped black wrought iron table. I fell in love with the DC America Charleston black wrought iron chair but it’s out of stock — everywhere. I’ve found some affordable black wrought iron rockers to accompany a chair for my husband, Mike, but I need to find a chair for HIM!
There could be many choices but we’re on retirement incomes and need something low-ish in cost. ALSO, we have a really picky HOA. The really affordable resin rocker is just too — UH — cheap looking for the front porch. Do you know of ANY other wrought iron chairs? I’ve checked a lot of sites and have found chairs to 300 LBS and even benches to 350. 350 would handle his weight, although I’d like a chair which could handle 400 LBS for a margin of safety.
Do you have any additional suggestions??
THANKS!!!
Carlie
Hi Carlie, the DC America wrought iron chair certainly is in a league of its own. I hope that they do become in stock for you soon enough. I looked around and couldn’t find anything similar with a weight capacity of 400 pound which is a shame. Hopefully another reader can lead you in the right direction?.
