Outdoor Rocking Chairs

Outdoor Rocking Chairs by Ashley

Rock your way into serenity with an outdoor rocking chair from Ashley. Can't you just picture yourself in a comfortable outdoor rocking chair with a tall glass of sweet iced tea, watching the sunset on a warm summer evening? That dream can be a reality with any of the options from Ashley.

Versatility of Outdoor Rocking Chairs

This isn't your grandma's selection of outdoor rocking chairs. We carry tons of styles here at Ashley, perfect whether you have a giant wrap-around porch or a small balcony on the 30th floor. If space is an issue, you might prefer an outdoor folding rocking chair to maximize your floor plan. When you're not rocking, just fold it up and tuck it away so you can have more room for a quick outdoor yoga session or drinks with friends.

Maybe comfort is your only real concern. In that case, you'll love an oversized outdoor rocking chair. These are especially great for curling up with a good book or even sharing with your partner.

There's also versatility in the color and design of rocking chairs. For example, a white outdoor rocking chair looks great on pretty much any porch, whether you have an old Victorian or an ultra-modern condo. However, you'll probably want a modern outdoor rocking chair for newer homes just to match the existing architecture.

Keep in mind patio furniture and rocking chairs don't have to be too matchy-matchy. A rocking chair is a totally different vibe, so feel free to use it as a bold accent rather than trying to closely match materials or colors.

Best Materials for Outdoor Rocking Chairs

Four popular materials for outdoor rocking chairs are metal, plastic, teak, and wood. With a metal outdoor rocking chair, you'll get superior durability and often a cleaner design. However, metal is a bit more susceptible to rust.

A plastic outdoor chair is lightweight and easy to move around if you think you'll be rearranging a lot. It's also resistant to most elements, with the exception of wind. You may need to keep a close eye on the chair to make sure it doesn't blow away.

A teak outdoor rocking chair offers the best of both worlds. It's lightweight, weather-resistant, and rust-proof. Teak also comes in a variety of colors, so you can find just the accent you want.

For a more traditional look, try wood rocking chairs. Many people love the natural wood grain, but just make sure you take extra weatherproofing steps to protect the chair.

Weatherproofing Tips for Outdoor Seating Furniture

The best tip we can offer for keeping your outdoor seating in tip-top shape is to invest in quality outdoor furniture covers. These can provide protection against thunderous rainstorms and intense UV rays, helping your new chair last even longer. Additionally, consider putting your chairs under an umbrella or awning to limit exposure to the elements.
