agree Kim Metzger : I think it's a typo too. And recliner sounds right.

thanks - but still open
agree Andrea Nemeth-Newhauser : This sounds probable.

thanks
agree Doris Marka : gute Vorschläge; für "Recherl" käme mir leider nur noch das Schwammerl in den Sinn, das hier aber sicher net g'meint is

rakes

I am not quite sure about this one, but since they are using the Austrian diminutive erl ending, it could be Rechen.
Peer comment(s):
agree Teresa Reinhardt : The So. German verb is "recheln" - so this is just the noun, no dim.

neutral Ellen Zittinger : it sounds like this would fit into the general context in association with Liegestühle

recliner

Conveys to me the idea of lying down and stretching oneself out (especially also if it's a typo for "Reckler" (i.e. maybe related to recken (and strecken)), so I guess "recliner" is a suitable translation. Admittedly though I can't find the word in any of my reference works or in any online glossaries.
