The Folded Profile Dictates Placement

When an outdoor chair folds, its geometry shifts from an open seating surface into a compact form. Some makers, such as Fermob with the Plein Air chair, note that their folding designs can be carried from a patio to a garden or indoors, fitting into tight balconies or under-stairs cupboards. The La Môme collection integrates handles directly into the seat and backrest to assist moving and folding for garden, balcony, or dining room use. Measure the chosen chair after folding before selecting its storage spot.

Set the chair nearby when deployed, then choose a stow spot outside the main walking route once folded. If you are planning a broader arrangement, reviewing seating layouts for small yards helps clarify how much clearance remains for temporary storage.

Racks Are Specific Systems, Not Generic Hangers

A wall-mounted rack is a separate product system engineered for narrow compatibility. Lifetime’s Wall-Mounted Chair Rack (product 80719) features folding arms and requires stud-mount installation, typically placed in an indoor garage, utility room, or shed. The maker explicitly lists compatibility only with Lifetime Loop Leg and first-generation Lifetime Folding Chairs, noting incompatibility with Lifetime Padded or Generation II Commercial Folding Chairs. A rack with this compatibility list should be considered only for the chair models it names.

Check the chair and rack instructions together before planning wall storage.

Evaluating Storage Volume

Whether resting against a wall or standing inside a dry alcove, the folded chair occupies physical volume. To compare another storage volume, see the documented interior dimensions of an outdoor bench; measure the folded chair before assuming it fits.

Match the chair’s measured folded profile to the storage spot, then check any dedicated rack against its compatibility list.
