At Far’n’Beyond and Really Good Branding, we always take great pride in the quality of our products and our Printed Deckchairs are no exception.
Made exclusively to our specification, we are pleased to confirm that our Standard Deckchairs have now been independently tested and certified, reinforcing their strength, durability, and suitability for both commercial and event use.
As one of the UK's leading suppliers of promotional deckchairs, it was important that we invested in obtaining the certification to support several of the key design decisions we have made to improve the safety of the popular seating items.
Our Standard Deckchair has been tested by FIRA International, a UKAS accredited laboratory, to recognised British and European standards for outdoor seating.
The result:
This is the standard used for commercial-grade outdoor furniture, meaning our deckchairs are suitable for environments such as events, hospitality, public spaces, and high-traffic areas — not just occasional domestic use.
Testing like this isn’t just a tick box — it’s about how the product performs in real life.
Our deckchairs have been assessed for:
The testing carried out under BS EN 581-2 is based on use by adults weighing up to 110kg (17 Stone).
All key structural and safety tests were passed, including seat strength, leg stability, and durability under repeated use.
In simple terms, it means our deckchairs are built to perform in the environments they’re designed for. They comfortably support a standard adult for extended periods and are robust enough to handle regular use in busy commercial settings, such as events, venues, and brand activations.
They’re equally well suited to more relaxed environments too, where families and children are using them throughout the day.
This level of testing gives confidence that the chair will perform as expected, even with repeated use in high-traffic spaces, maintaining both its strength and stability over time.
One of the reasons for requesting the chairs was that several of the improvements we have made, following years of research and development, improve both safety and longevity.
Our deckchairs are fitted with flexible flexible plastic safety clips, which play an important role in how the chair performs in real-world use. They help to reduce the risk of finger trapping when adjusting or folding the chair, while also providing added stability when in use.
Unlike more brittle alternatives, these clips are designed to flex slightly under pressure rather than snap. This small detail makes a big difference — improving both user safety and the overall lifespan of the product, while helping to prevent unexpected movement or collapse.
All of our Standard Deckchairs are manufactured for Far’n’Beyond & Really Good Branding to our specification, using robust wooden frames designed for repeated use in commercial environments.
Each frame is finished with a high-quality oak oil coating, which not only enhances the appearance of the wood but also adds an extra layer of protection against wear and weathering.
The result is a deckchair that feels solid, looks premium, and continues to perform over time whether it’s being used at events, in hospitality settings, or as part of a branded outdoor space.
As one of the UK’s leading suppliers of branded deckchairs, we understand how these products are used in practice. From busy festivals and outdoor venues to brand activations and promotional campaigns.
That’s why certification matters. It provides reassurance not just to us, but to our clients, that the product they’re investing in has been tested for strength, durability, and consistent performance in environments where reliability is essential.
This certification is an important milestone for our Standard Deckchair range, building on the same approach we’ve taken with our Giant Deckchairs.
It reflects our ongoing commitment to creating products that don’t just look the part, but deliver in real-world use — combining creative impact with practical performance and long-term reliability.
