Metal garden furniture is a brilliant option for alfresco seating and dining. Typically the strongest material for outdoor furniture, it’s ideal for garden tables, chairs, bistro sets and sun loungers.

Outdoor furniture made from steel, aluminium or iron will outlast all other kinds of material. Unlike plastic or wooden furniture, you won’t need to replace metal furnishings very often, as long as they are well cared for. The most popular types of metal garden furniture you will find are wrought iron, stainless steel and aluminium.

Wrought iron is among the heaviest of them all (worth knowing if you plan on repositioning furniture out of the sun), but it’s also one of the more durable materials. Aluminium, also strong and durable, is far lighter than iron but can retain the heat far more during warmer weather (consider outdoor seat cushions when purchasing aluminium chairs). Stainless steel garden furniture is long-lasting and wind-resistant, although it has been known for rusting. Steel is generally cheaper than other materials, but may need painting more often.

When shopping for metal garden furniture, look out for styles that have been powder-coated. Simply put, this means they have an extra layer of polyester or epoxy powder to protect the metal. This tends to give a thicker, more resilient surface that is resistant to many forms of damage (weather, for example).

One thing to note is that repeated water exposure to your metal furniture could cause damage over time. Exposure to water droplets and moisture may result in your furniture rusting, so we recommend buying a cover or placing it in the garage or shed over winter. As well as this, cold conditions can result in the paint cracking, making it easier for water to seep in.

On that note, take a look at the best metal garden furniture sets to buy now…
