Folding chairs designed for use in stadiums and arenas help with traffic flow and make it easier to fit more chairs into the available space. Chairs can have folding backs or seats, depending on their use. Portable chairs with folding backs are available that can be attached to stadium bleachers with straps or braces. The back folds down and the straps are detached for removal. This form of folding seat for stadium use is ideal because it is lightweight and easy to carry. An envelope of 13 inches can be achieved with some folding stadium chairs. The envelope is the depth of the chair from front to back. The smaller the envelope, the less space that the chair takes up and the more aisles and chairs that can fit into an area. A seat that folds won’t stick out into the aisle and obstruct traffic.

Some stadiums have folding seats that are fixed in place. Whether fixed or movable, folding seats and chairs make stadium seating more compact. A seat that folds increases traffic flow and allows cleanup crews to do their job more efficiently. Today, an enclosed rod and spring mechanism makes it possible for folding chairs to operate smoothly for years, even outdoors, free of trouble. New unbreakable plastics and advanced chair designs make the folding stadium chair durable as well as well as functional and comfortable.

Public Events

Folding chairs can be especially useful when needing to provide for large groups of seating at any type of indoor or outdoor event.

Outdoor Public Events
To providing seating for a large number of people at an outdoor event, plastic or powder-covered metal folding chairs are best, as they are more impervious to moisture and hold up better under all weather conditions than chairs of metal alone.

Indoor Public Events
The typical folding chair made of plastic or metal is commonly seen in cafeterias, meeting halls, conference rooms, classrooms, and many other places.

Personal and Family Recreation

Increased mobility and travel have prompted the manufacture of compact, lightweight folding furniture for every season and climate.

Increased mobility and travel have prompted the manufacture of compact, lightweight folding furniture for every season and climate. Folding chairs constructed of a light metal frame and fabric are best for tossing into the car and going on vacation or to the local football game. They are lighter, easier to carry, and more comfortable than metal chairs. They come in many different colors, styles, and sizes, from small, one-person models, to large models able to accommodate up to four people. Generally, they have multiple hinges and can be folded or dismantled to form a compact, portable bundle for carrying, putting into the trunk, or even tying onto a frame pack.
