Camping furniture, features, types and requirements for material

With the onset of warm days, more and more I want to go to nature. To spend time comfortably and with amenities, camping furniture is used. A wide selection allows you to choose suitable options for recreation, which compactly fit in the trunk of the car.

Design Features

The convenience of camping furniture lies in the design features. Manufacturers are trying to make collapsible items so that at any time it is possible to assemble and disassemble the furniture, pack it in a car. Fans of "wild" rest always prefer to sit on the grass than sit on a fabric chair. However, this choice is not suitable for people with children who can catch a cold while sitting on wet and cool grass.

The main characteristics of camping furniture are:

Lightness - this indicator is one of the most important. Due to its light weight, camping furniture can be carried in hands without using vehicles. For example, when it is necessary to go to the park for a walk with children, and there are no benches nearby, a compact folding chair that fits in a backpack will help out;
Strength - it plays an important role in the operation of furniture. If during the picnic the leg breaks at the table and all the food remains on the ground, guests are unlikely to be happy. Therefore, manufacturers prefer proven materials that can withstand increased loads;
Foldable design - the main feature of furniture - the ability to fold. Various folding chairs, tables, folding beds, chairs, hammocks and even camping kitchen can turn any outdoor recreation into a paradise pastime. With light movements, the chair will become a small cane, the table will turn into a rectangular suitcase, and the hammock will fit in a bag;
Use of moisture resistant materials. In the manufacture of furniture for the camper, only moisture-resistant materials are used: the frame and fabric equipment are made of durable raw materials that do not fade in the sun and do not get wet;
The presence of high-quality fasteners. The design of the models must contain joints of increased strength, capable of holding the entire frame on the legs. When manufacturing, the click principle is applied - the furniture is laid out to a characteristic sound, at which the stoppers are fixed in the grooves, preventing the furniture from accidentally folding;
Ability to use in another area. Camping furniture is easily used not only for picnics. It will perfectly replace ordinary home furniture when renovating an apartment. It is also convenient to use for outbound trading on the street. In addition, such products will be useful for fishing, camping, on tourist gatherings in the forest, as well as for a motor home.

The whole design should have one more indicator - compactness. It is she who allows a person to use furniture at any time. Even a child can pick up and lift small chairs.

Materials of manufacture

The strength of production materials is the main criterion for the requirement of camping furniture. All components of the structure must have a reliable foundation, and the fabric surface should not sag much under the weight of a person.

If, over time, the fabric on the furniture is very stretched, you can replace it with your own hands. To do this, tear the seams of the fabric seat, make the same part from the new fabric and carefully sew it to the frame using a sewing machine or manually.

Consider all types of materials used today for the manufacture of camping furniture:

Steel pipes - the frame for almost every camping item is made of this material. Pipes should not be too massive, otherwise it will affect the final weight of the product. Particular attention is paid to the legs - they must be stable and not exposed to external negative factors: moisture, the sun. Therefore, the steel is coated with a PVC film;
Aluminum pipes - this option is more appropriate, since aluminum has a relatively light weight. For small folding chairs, a pipe diameter of 22 mm is used today;
Polyester - the fabric is used in the manufacture of armchairs, chairs and deck chairs. Polyester has good water-repellent characteristics, its strength is high, and one small chair is able to withstand a weight of 100 kg;
Oxford - this material has a high density, it is often used in sewing clothes for work. Oxford has a dense weaving of fibers and is able to withstand heavy loads;
Mesh - it is used for sewing hammocks. Furniture pockets are made of fine mesh. This lightweight material is an assistant when storing improvised items;
Vinyl - is used for the manufacture of air mattresses, chairs and other leisure devices. Often in the kit for such products are spare repair kits that allow you to patch the resulting punctures during operation;
Refractory plastic - widely used in the manufacture of countertops for camping tables. The coating of the material is often white and smooth;
Aluminum panels - this material is used for the production of folding tables. The panels are successfully stacked in one stack, which is the countertop.

These materials make furniture stable and reliable. Components of camping furniture are designed for the rational organization of storage of improvised means: they are also made from the specified raw materials.
