Metal & Aluminium Garden Furniture

Explore metal garden furniture that won’t rust or fade

You heard that right. Metal patio furniture is a famously resilient choice because of its ability to withstand the Great British elements. Metal furniture won’t need the same level of maintenance as other materials, like wooden garden furniture. 

That makes it an ideal choice if you want to kick back and enjoy your garden, but don’t want to have to address sun bleaching or dampness. 

You’re also unlikely to have to deal with your metal outdoor furniture being blown over in the wind. Patio furniture doesn’t come sturdier than cast iron or aluminium!

Choose cast iron & cast aluminium for furniture that endures

So it’s no surprise that aluminium outdoor furniture is an increasingly popular choice. Cast aluminium and cast iron are some of the strongest materials you can manufacture garden furniture from.   

Does cast iron garden furniture rust?

Yes, metal patio furniture can develop rust over time. Cast metals rust when in contact with the oxygen and moisture in the air. This is why cast metals, like cast aluminium or cast iron, are normally sealed using a protective paint, enamel or sealant - to avoid air and water contact. 

The enamel or paint tends to be extremely hard-wearing however, if damaged, rust spots can form. Keep your eye out for any scratches or dents to treat and reseal them before rust strikes.

Tip: Prevent water seeping into any damaged spots by using an outdoor furniture cover whenever possible.
