Plywood garden armchair - Indoor and outdoor
Plywood armchair for terrace, garden, veranda or living room. Finish with exterior microporous stain or paint required for prolonged outdoor use. Dimensional variations of 2 to 5% possible depending on ambient humidity, inherent to plywood. Storage in a covered and dry space recommended in autumn and winter to preserve the surface. Matching range: plywood sun lounger and table available separately. Clean with clear water, without detergent.
Plywood Garden Armchair — Indoor and Outdoor, Coordinated Range
This plywood armchair is suitable for indoor and outdoor use: terrace, garden, conservatory or living room. Its plywood construction gives it a structured shape whilst remaining lightweight. It belongs to a coordinated range that also includes a sun lounger and a table in plywood. A protective finish (exterior wood stain or paint) is required for prolonged outdoor use. In autumn and winter, storage in a covered, dry space is recommended to preserve the material.
Dimensional variations of 2 to 5% may appear depending on ambient humidity — this is normal behaviour for plywood. If joints come loose, a standard wood glue readily available on the market allows them to be re-secured.

Installation advice
Before first outdoor use, apply an exterior wood stain or microporous paint to all faces and edges of the armchair. This step is essential to limit moisture absorption and dimensional variations. Clean stains with a damp cloth without detergent. If dirt is ingrained, use fine sandpaper (150-180 grit) then reapply a protective finish.
Maintenance and protection
In autumn, bring the armchair indoors to a covered, dry place — an unheated room is perfectly suitable. Avoid storage in a damp space (unventilated cellar). Renew the wood stain or paint every 2 to 3 years. If a joint comes loose due to humidity variations, apply wood glue and hold under pressure with a clamp for 24 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Can this armchair be left outdoors all year round without protection?
Not recommended. Without treatment or winter protection, the plywood can delaminate with freeze-thaw cycles and prolonged rainfall. Bring the armchair indoors in autumn or cover it with a waterproof, breathable cover.
What wood stain should be applied to this plywood armchair?
A microporous exterior wood stain (acrylic or alkyd) is perfectly suitable. Sand lightly with 150-grit paper before application. Apply at least 2 coats with drying time between each coat as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Is this armchair compatible with standard cushions?
Yes. The shape of the armchair is designed to accommodate standard garden cushions. Choose cushions with a water-repellent treated covering for outdoor use.
Are variations of 2 to 5% a manufacturing defect?
No. These dimensional variations are inherent to all wood products subject to moisture fluctuations. A surface treatment significantly reduces these variations by limiting water absorption by the wood.
Can this armchair be painted in a specific colour?
Yes. Plywood accepts all microporous exterior paints. Sand with 150-grit paper, apply a wood primer then your finishing paint in 2 coats for a durable result.
