deck chairs

Folding outdoor seats

Deck chairs are lightweight folding chairs with a frame—typically wood or metal—supporting a fabric seat that slopes back at a relaxed angle.

Originally designed for use on ship decks, they remain common at beaches, pools, and in gardens.

Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic describes futile activity in the face of inevitable disaster.
