How to incorporate drainage into concrete outdoor chair designs?

Concrete outdoor chairs are durable and stylish, but without proper drainage, they can accumulate water, leading to cracks or mold. Here’s how to integrate drainage into your designs:

1. Add Drainage Holes: Drill small holes at the base or lowest points of the chair to allow water to escape.

2. Sloped Design: Tilt the seat slightly to encourage water runoff.

3. Permeable Materials: Mix lightweight aggregates or porous additives into the concrete for better water absorption.

4. Elevated Legs: Raise the chair legs to prevent water pooling underneath.

5. Sealant Application: Use a waterproof sealant to protect the concrete while maintaining drainage efficiency.

By incorporating these features, your concrete chairs will remain functional and long-lasting, even in wet conditions. Ideal for DIY projects or commercial outdoor furniture!
