Product Insights
The Kelga Outdoor Hanging Chair, from Simons Maison, is a hand-built, made-to-order piece in Canada, featuring a UV-stabilized vinyl weave that stays cool in the sun, drains water, and needs no cushion—saving $100–300 upfront and avoiding recurring replacement costs. Its single-artisan tensioning prevents sagging, while the 38 lb powder-coated steel frame provides wind stability and supports users up to 250 lbs and 6 feet tall, but requires a separately purchased heavy-duty stand, monthly rinsing in coastal areas, and indoor winter storage to prevent rust.
Verified claims
- Sun performance
- Vinyl weave stays cool in sun, resists UV damage, needs no cushion.
- Ventilation and drainage
- Open weave drains water and allows airflow, reducing sweat and preventing standing water.
- Craftsmanship
- Hand-built by single artisan for even tension that prevents sagging.
- Frame care
- Steel frame is powder-coated, needs care in coastal areas.
- Cost savings
- Eliminates $100-300 upfront cushion cost and avoids recurring replacement expenses.
- Maintenance
- Open weave drains rain, vinyl stays cool, UV-stabilized, and hand-built tension prevents sagging.
- Production
- Handmade in Canada on a made-to-order basis by a single artisan.
- Sizing
- The chair is 56 inches high, 38 inches wide, and 24 inches deep; has a 38-lb powder-coated steel frame that aids wind stability and weather resistance; and supports up to 250 lb.
- Pricing
- At 1100 CAD, it sits between mass-market kits and luxury designer chairs, requiring a separate stand.
- Rust risk
- In coastal areas, a monthly fresh-water rinse helps protect the powder-coated steel frame, and indoor winter storage is recommended to reduce rust risk.
- Weight and stability
- The 38 lb steel frame is heavier and more stable than aluminum alternatives, and it requires a separate, robust hanging stand or ceiling mount.
- User fit
- Typically accommodates adults up to about 6 ft tall and 250 lb; the chair's roomy depth and hand-built tension help larger users sit comfortably without sagging.
- Breathability and drainage
- Open-weave vinyl stays cool, allows airflow to reduce sweating, and drains rainwater immediately.
- Cushionless design
- Chair is shaped to be comfortable without cushion, saving $100–300 and avoiding cushion maintenance.
- Swinging motion
- As a hanging chair, it is designed to provide a gentle swinging motion when suspended from a single point; it has no mechanical swinging mechanism.
- Mounting requirements
- The chair does not include a stand or mounting hardware; a separate heavy-duty hanging stand or ceiling mount is required.
- Sun comfort
- Vinyl weave does not heat up in sun and allows airflow, cushion optional.
- Winter storage
- Indoor winter storage is recommended during snow and ice to reduce rust risk on the powder-coated steel frame.
- Care and cleaning
- Clean twice yearly with mild soap; rinse monthly in coastal zones.
- Vinyl durability
- UV inhibitors throughout strands prevent fading; handwoven tension resists sagging.
- Cushion requirement
- Steel and vinyl construction: no cushion needed, saving on replacement costs.
- Weave
- UV-stabilized, hand-tensioned vinyl weave drains moisture and needs no cushion, extending the chair's life.
- Weather resistance
- The chair is UV-, weather-, and discolouration-resistant, so it can handle outdoor exposure during the season.
- Ergonomic comfort
- The pear-shaped openwork vinyl seat is built from flexible cord that cradles and conforms to the body, so it provides body-conforming support without a cushion for long sitting sessions.
- Minimum hanging height
- Plan for about a 6'3" (190 cm) minimum ceiling or beam height: the chair's full 56" height plus roughly 40–50 cm (16–20") seat-to-floor clearance, then add your mounting hardware length.
- Load rating interpretation
- The 250 lb rating is for the occupant only; the chair's own 38 lb is not included, so mounting hardware should be rated for roughly 290 lb combined.
