To think there should be plus size outdoor furniture?

I posted recommendations too but the OP didn't reply!
She also hasn't clarified what she means by 'garden furniture' whether it needs to be foldable, can be left outside, also budget. And what exactly she's been Googling. But she;s replied to all the mean comments...

Ignore all these pricks OP and let's return to actual garden furniture

Hi @ThemysteriousH I'm plus size myself. Basically a poor diet after my mum died suddenly. Didn't look after my self. Used food as a comfort. So for my entire 20s I've been 19/20 stone. I get paranoid about furniture holding my weight. Had quite a few near misses!
I've got some lovely garden furniture from a shop called jysk. It holds my weight and is good to be kept outside. Had it for over 7 years no issues and still looks good. Thankfully since becoming a mum myself my weight has gone down to 16 stone mark. Still overweight but feeling better than I was.
Hope you can find something suitable.

Well said.

Check these out, I remember seeing them in IKEA and they looked pretty large. The measurements say they are good up to 110kg

Only 2 posts setting out some actual recommendations

I used to be 20 stone (more actually) and Ive lost 10 stone. Thats with an underactive thyroid and PCOS.

However my biggest fear when big was furniture, so I did months of tedious research before buying anything.

So as someone has mentioned, Lafuma do XL funiture. This is what we now have, its too big for me now and do be aware it is quite big and heavy.

Look for things that have a weight limit of 125kg or 150kg, most garden furniture, home furniture, bikes even have weight limits of 100kg, sometimes less!

Its not just the weight limit, its also the width, as others have said your legs and arms cut in, if they're too narrow.

Anything wooden would be strong and sturdy but the disadvantage is that you cant fold away easily/cover easily/move round the garden easily.

Do some googling OP and you will find what you need, although its more expensive too

I have a la fuma XL chair, have had it 10 years and recently replaced just the seat bit. It stays outside all year and is is fab condition.
Expensive but well worth it.
I am size 24

If not look at a lovely chunky wooden bench.

We have mesh folding chairs, they’re quite big and never quailed under my nearly 24st, (lots less now) had them years. They were from Homebase. Alternatively, nice wooden bench? Stick cushions on top for comfort.

We are a fairly sturdy family although trying to be less so!
ikea aluminium garden furniture is amazing - bought a set in first Covid lock down still looks brand new

Bloody hell, there's some right nasty people on here!

I don't really agree with this. Yes it's about eating more, but before I went on medication it would have been impossible for me to get fat, I couldn't do it if I tried

@PCController2 in my case I can literally eat exactly the same food and I lose weight when I'm not taking hormones.
I was off them for just over two weeks and lost 14lbs in that time.
I meal prep and it was the same batches of food. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also have ASD so I have a slightly odd relationship with food and eat the same things on repeat.
My blood sugars when on the hormones go really odd too. So I will repeatedly have low blood sugars. This stops within a couple of days of coming off the meds.
So it seems like my body is actively storing calories when I'm on the hormones. My consultant said when I started seeing him that the only realistic goal whilst on the hormones is maintaining weight and not losing ☹️

I'm on them for 4 more years yet ☹️

Totally genuine question. Do the hormones, steroids etc. make you put on weight directly (e.g. by signalling your body to store more food as fat), or do they hugely increases one's appetite to a point that almost no one would be able to avoid eating more?

I'm sorry, that made me smile Just picturing it, I reckon if I was 6ft4 I'd be thinking it's a long way down and would take ages to lower myself carefully using leg muscles, I'd let gravity do its thing too!

My dad is six foot four (not particularly over weight but a big guy) and has broken a few pieces of furniture. I've noticed that when he sits down he doesn't use his leg muscles to slowly lower himself he just kind of drops from a height and hits the chair below him which I think is much harder on the furniture. If I was you I would look for sturdy wood furniture, I think it will last much better.

If you want a lightweight one, I bought one from Costco & they still had them in last week though not online.

its Director Chair style, very light but sturdy & feels 'safe' & comfortable. Wasn't expensive, about £35 I think.

Charles taylor garden furniture is very sturdy and actually has a larger chair with a high weight limit. You can buy direct or The Range and ebay sell some of the products. They look really nice too and last years. I have their arch and two seater benches.
Just ignore those giving unwanted opinions here.
Edited to add, just googled and Grand Chair has a 150kg weight limit.

Oh do pipe down!!!

Hormone issues causing weight gain are more common than you think! The amount of hormones doctors pump into those of us who are unlucky enough to have PCOS, endometriosis or endometrial cancer is shocking.
I was underweight before I started being pumped full of hormones because of issues with my periods in my teens.
I have had it confirmed by my doctors that the use of these hormones directly affected my getting cancer and that the hormones they then started pumping into me would make me bigger still.
It will no doubt become another NHS scandal about how many women have been failed.

I think it's just knowing the right search terms, Greaterorlesser, I wouldn't have thought to use 'bariatric', but you're right.

It absolutely does exist. Just Google bariatric garden furniture. Lots of companies sell such items.

And expect any twattish comments about somebody else's weight to be robustly batted back. What is it with the arrogance of some posters who a) think OP or anybody else needs unasked for weight loss advice from them and b) think that their ill-considered and cruel comments should be accepted without comment?

This thread really wasn't about weight at all, it's about having furniture that is sturdy so that larger people are not having to constantly 'risk assess' whether they can sit down or not.
