Established in 1969
The original since 1969
Crafted with quality and durability in mind, our Solid Oak Wooden Beach Chair is built to withstand the elements while providing timeless coastal style. Each chair is handcrafted from premium solid oak and fitted with corrosion-resistant brass hardware for lasting strength and stability.
To ensure superior protection against sun, salt, and moisture, every chair receives two coats of marine-grade varnish, enhancing both beauty and durability. The seat and backrest are made from 9-ounce marine-grade fabric, chosen for its weather resistance, vibrant color retention, and comfortable support.
Designed for both functionality and elegance, this chair brings a touch of classic craftsmanship to any shoreline, pool deck, or patio. Built to perform beautifully in the beach environment—season after season.

Solid oak construction for unmatched strength and longevity

H&T Pelican's Perch - 108
The Pelican’s Perch puts you just high enough above the sand to feel like you’ve claimed your spot—and you’re keeping an eye on things (mostly your cooler). With its elevated seating and bold presence, this chair brings a little “top of the food chain” energy to your beach setup.
Built with a solid hardwood frame and durable marine-grade fabric, it’s made for long days in the sun, salty air, and the occasional head turn from someone wishing they had your seat. Comfortable, sturdy, and just a little bit commanding, it’s perfect for beachgoers who like to sit tall and take it all in.
Think of it as your personal perch—no wings required.
Think of it as the chair that says, “I’m here to relax”… but also, “I might grab another drink in a minute.”
H&T Coastline Classic - 101
Meet your new favorite excuse to stay at the beach a little longer.
The Coastline Classic isn’t just a chair—it’s a full-on invitation to kick back, stretch out, and forget what time it is. With its extended reclining design, you can go from “just sitting down for a minute” to “I guess I live here now” in no time.
Crafted with a solid hardwood frame and tough marine-grade fabric, this chair is built to handle sandy feet, salty air, and long days in the sun. It’s sturdy enough to trust, comfortable enough to nap in, and good-looking enough to earn a few compliments from passing beachgoers.
Set it up, lean back, and let the waves do the rest. Just don’t be surprised if someone asks, “Hey… where’d you get that chair?”
H&T Outerbanks
For those who like their beach days relaxed… but still within reach of a cold drink.
The Outerbanks Chair is your go-to seat when you want to kick back without fully disappearing into “don’t ask me to get up” mode. It’s upright, comfortable, and just the right height for easy sitting, easy standing, and easy access to whatever’s within arm’s reach.
Built with a solid hardwood frame and durable marine-grade fabric, this chair is ready for dock days, beach days, and everything in between. It’s sturdy enough to count on, comfortable enough to stay a while, and good-looking enough to earn a nod from the neighbors. Think of it as the chair that says, “I’m here to relax”… but also, “I might grab another drink in a minute.”
Southern Sun Umbrellas
Our 7.5' beach umbrella is built to last, with a sturdy fiberglass frame, 8 ribs, all stainless steel hardware, and a beautiful ash wood pole. We only use top-quality 9 oz. marine-grade acrylic fabric — because we believe your umbrella should be just as tough as it is stylish. Prefer something a little different? We also offer the same great umbrella with an aluminum top and bottom pole. Whatever you choose, you'll be getting that signature Southern Sun style and quality right on your beachfront.
H&T Sandbar -106
For those who planned to be productive today… but then the beach happened.
The Sandbar is what happens when a chair fully embraces the idea of “we’re not in a rush.” Sitting low and easy in the sand, it’s perfectly positioned for long stretches of doing very little, very well. It’s the kind of chair that quietly encourages you to stay put—even when you swear you’re about to get up.
Built with a solid hardwood frame and marine-grade fabric, it’s tough enough for the elements, but relaxed enough to make you forget about them entirely. Comfortable, dependable, and just the right height for keeping your feet buried in the sand, it’s basically your personal headquarters for the day.
Fair warning: once you sit down, your plans may be subject to change.
H&T Lowtide Lounger-105
For those who believe the best seat at the beach is closer to the sand.
The Lowtide Lounger takes everything you love about our original and drops it down a notch—literally. With a lower-to-the-ground profile, you’re right in the sweet spot for stretching out, digging your heels into the sand, and claiming your territory like a seasoned beach pro.
Built with the same solid hardwood frame and marine-grade fabric, this chair doesn’t just look relaxed—it is relaxed. It’s perfect for long afternoons, sunset watching, and those moments when getting up feels… negotiable.
Low, laid-back, and just a little bit smug about it, this chair says, “I came to unwind,” and actually means it.

At H&T Chair Company we build every chair with longevity in mind. Our chair frames are constructed with oak, brass, and double-dowel assemblies to ensure the strength and durability for daily use. All brass hardware and rivets allow the equipment to be used in the most adverse weather conditions. Besides the durability, the brass adds a nice accent for indoor use. Our chairs also provide easy storage as they fold to allow easy handling. All chairs are made of solid oak and covered in either 9 oz. marine grade acrylic canvas or PVC mesh material. All covers are then attached with stainless steel staples. We also offer custom printing upon request.

In addition to the exceptional quality we insure with the production of our H&T Chairs, we also give the same quality and precision to our Southern Sun Beach Umbrellas. 7.5’ in diameter, fiberglass frame, 8 ribs with all stainless steel hardware, and an ash wooden pole.
