Ventilated Comfort for Outdoor Ceremonies & Formal Events
The Hercules Fan Back Plastic Folding Chair pairs a textured, ventilated fan-back design with an 18-gauge steel frame rated to 650 lbs. The open fan-back pattern lets air move through the chair, which is especially useful for outdoor wedding ceremonies, garden receptions, and daytime events where guests sit for extended periods. The textured seat resists slipping, and built-in drain holes keep the chair from collecting water after rain or morning dew.
Each chair ships ready to use with no assembly required, folds down to a 3" profile for compact transport, and stacks for storage between events. A powder-coated steel frame and non-marring floor caps protect both the chair and your venue's flooring. Available in five colors — Black, White, Grey, Red, and Blue. Orders ship LTL freight; because rates vary by destination and order size, contact us for a shipping quote. A 10-chair minimum applies — need fewer, or want to try one first? Request a sample.
Backed by a 5-year limited warranty on non-moving metal parts, 2 years on component parts, and 1 year on other items.
