The raw material of waiting chairs is polyurethane. Although polyurethane row chairs are resistant to high temperatures, long-term exposure to sunlight will accelerate aging. Exposure to the sun and rain will also cause oxidation of the hardware parts of the row chairs. Therefore, waiting chairs, row chairs, bar chairs, dining chairs, office chairs and other series of products with polyurethane seat cushions are not suitable for outdoor use where they are exposed to long-term sunlight, which will shorten their service life.

 

All outdoor open-air stadiums, including football fields, are semi-open venues, which are different from large indoor stadiums. Therefore, most of the seats in open-air stadiums are made of plastic PP materials such as polypropylene. The seating feel is as hard as that of polyurethane seats. The comfort level is completely different. A sports event usually lasts 2-3 hours, and international events even last 6-8 hours. Audiences require higher comfort, which promotes the widespread application of polyurethane seats in indoor stadiums. As my country's national finance increases its investment in the national sports industry, public indoor gymnasiums are gradually popularizing polyurethane seats to improve the quality of the gymnasium in line with international standards.

 

Waiting chairs are corroded by the sun and rain for a long time, so maintenance is very important. If they are not maintained manually, they will be damaged very quickly.

 

Waiting chairs


Let’s learn how to maintain outdoor furniture with you.

 

1. Protect outdoor furniture. If it is a wooden waiting chair or leisure chair, spray anti-moth products on the seat regularly. To prevent borers and beetles, you can also add some peppercorns to prevent mice.

 

2. When placing outdoor furniture, especially public waiting chairs, choose the right center and place them stably to ensure the safety of the seats to the maximum extent and avoid damaging the furniture structure. Waiting chairs are generally connected by welding and bolts. If they are often in an unstable state, the fasteners will loosen over time, posing safety hazards and leading to local cracking, which will also affect the life of the waiting chairs. Therefore, if the ground is uneven, be sure to pad the furniture legs firmly. Especially when placing stainless steel waiting chairs, it is necessary to stabilize the force on the furniture legs.
