Metal that stands the test of time

Durability is key when it comes to outdoor furniture. Nobody wants to replace their patio set after one rough winter. Thankfully, metal furniture offers a range of sturdy options that can withstand the elements while keeping your garden stylish and functional.

Aluminium: lightweight and rust-resistant

Aluminium is a favourite for good reason. It’s naturally rust-resistant, making it ideal for damp climates. It’s also lightweight, so rearranging your outdoor space is a breeze. For added durability, look for powder-coated aluminium, which protects against scratches and weather damage.

Steel: strength and stability

If you want something stronger, steel is a powerhouse. Galvanised or stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, holding up in rain or shine. While heavier than aluminium, steel’s weight keeps it stable in windy conditions, making it great for open gardens or exposed patios.

Wrought iron: timeless and sturdy

For those who love classic charm, wrought iron is a timeless option. It’s incredibly durable but requires some upkeep to prevent rust, like occasional touch-ups with rust-proof paint. Its weight makes it the sturdiest, and it is great for windy spots.

No matter which metal you choose, maintenance is crucial for longevity. Regular cleaning and occasional protective coatings will keep your furniture looking great for years. Durable metal outdoor furniture is an investment, but you’ll enjoy it for countless summers.
