What's a game without a little tailgating before hand? Enjoy your pre-game brewskie and burger from the comfort of a fan gear folding chair or stool. Fan gear chairs and stools are not only easy to store, pack into a car or carry around, but are a great way to show support of your favorite team. Don't just use them for tailgating, small folding chairs and stools also work well in the backyard or at the beach.
Folding Chairs
When searching for the perfect folding chair for tailgating, look for a lightweight sports or camping chair that is easy to fold, store and transport. Try one that has a frame made of aluminum or steel tubing. Though lightweight, these frames can usually hold up to 275 lbs. Most sports or camping folding chairs have a nylon or canvas seat. For extra comfort look for one with a padded headrest or padded armrests. Aside from the traditional folding chair, you'll find sphere folding chairs which are padded and much loungier making them great for rec or dorm rooms. Folding chairs come in a wide variety of colors including red, green, blue, black and orange. Look for specialty folding chairs with your team's logo or mascot embroidered at the headrest. Many folding chairs also come with neat extras like cup holders, detachable side table and carry bags.
Stools
Folding stools are another great addition to your tailgate. Just like folding chairs you want to look for stools that are lightweight, easy to carry and a cinch to store. While there are stools specifically for tailgating on the market, camping stools can also be used. Most tailgating stools have a lightweight aluminum frame with padded vinyl seats. Look for stools with screen prints of your favorite team on the seat. Camping stools come with a lightweight aluminum or wood frame and have either a canvas, nylon or wood slat seat. Need something that's easy to carry? Look for stools that come in a bag with a carrying strap.
