Can stacking chairs be used outdoors?

Not all stacking chairs are rated for outdoor use. Chairs for outdoor use must be made of UV-resistant resin or powder-coated aluminum with drainage holes in the seat. Standard upholstered or plastic shell chairs are not weather-resistant and will degrade in direct sun or rain. For outdoor event or patio seating, specify resin stacking chairs explicitly rated for exterior use. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, outdoor-rated stacking chairs are identified in product descriptions — call 1-800-460-0858 for outdoor event seating recommendations.
