The SW-1701 is a soft-tension beach armchair built around a 22mm steel tube frame with 0.9mm wall thickness. The seat and backrest use 600×300D polyester fabric with PVC coating and polyester wadding for padding - a construction that holds up to repeated folding cycles and prolonged sun exposure. The hard plastic armrest gives users a solid leverage point when standing, which matters for older demographics and campsite use.
Sunwee manufactures this chair end-to-end in our 15,000 sqm facility in Fujian. You can customize the tube powder-coat color, fabric pattern (solid, striped, or digital print), armrest color, and packaging - from PE bag to branded mailer box. OEM logo embroidery or woven label is standard. We handle the full workflow: tube cutting and bending, powder coating, fabric cutting and sewing, assembly, and carton packing.

Structural Design & Durability |
The frame uses a scissor-fold mechanism with cross-braced steel tubes - 22mm for the main load-bearing legs, 19mm for the secondary support. Two wide transverse feet at the base distribute weight across soft ground (sand, grass, gravel), reducing sink-in compared to single-point feet.
The steel tubes receive a powder-coat finish before assembly. This is not spray paint - it's an electrostatic application cured at high temperature, which gives even coverage and better adhesion than liquid paint. In salt-air environments (beach setups, coastal storage), this coating delays rust onset significantly versus uncoated or chrome-plated alternatives.
Fabric panels are cut from 600×300D polyester - the 600D face layer handles abrasion, the 300D backing with PVC coating provides water resistance. Seams use double-stitch construction at stress points (armrest attachment, seat-to-back junction). The polyester wadding fill is quilted to prevent shifting during repeated fold/unfold cycles.
Target Applications & Market Fit |
This beach chair with plastic armrest is built for scenarios where portability and seated comfort need to coexist:
- Beach and lakeside recreation - wide feet prevent sinking in sand; PVC-coated fabric sheds light moisture
- Camping and RV travel - flat-fold design fits in tight storage compartments; PE bag carry handle works with one hand
- Fishing and outdoor festivals - lightweight at 4 kg, opens without tools, holds up to 300 lbs
- Garden and patio use - powder-coated frame handles outdoor storage between seasons
- Glamping sites and outdoor event operators - bulk pricing on 40HQ loads, consistent color matching across large runs
Wholesale buyers sourcing folding beach chairs, camp chairs, or portable outdoor seating for retail distribution will find the SW-1701 fits the mid-tier price band without compromising on frame thickness or fabric weight.
FAQ
Q: How does the SW-1701 hold up in salt-air beach environments?
A: The powder-coated steel frame provides a barrier against corrosion that outperforms bare steel or chrome plating. For coastal retail markets, we recommend storing inventory in dry conditions before sale. The 600D polyester fabric with PVC backing resists moisture absorption and dries quickly after exposure to sea spray or rain.
Q: What's the container loading efficiency for bulk beach chair orders?
A: Each carton holds 4 units at 0.127 CBM. A 40HQ container typically loads around 7,200 pieces of the SW-1701. The flat-fold design eliminates empty space inside each carton, which keeps your per-unit freight cost low compared to pre-assembled or rigid-frame chairs. We can also accommodate drop-shipping packaging if your distribution model requires individual retail-ready boxes.
Q: Can the fabric meet REACH or flame-retardant standards for EU/US markets?
A: Yes. The standard 600D polyester fabric can be treated to meet REACH compliance for the EU market. For US retail requirements, we can apply flame-retardant treatment to match CAL 117 specifications. All fabric treatments are documented in our SGS test reports, which we share with buyers during the sampling phase. BSCI audited factory compliance is also available for retailers with supply chain due diligence requirements.
