Will metal patio furniture rust? get hot? Is wood better?
By admin | October 11, 2007
frameit asked:
Is wood or metal the best choice for patio furniture from a low maintenance and durability perspective? There are many different metal alloys in the market today, wondering which is better. Do they rust? Also, does metal get very hot if sun is shining on it for a whole day and we go sit on it in the evening?

After many years metal will rust. If you want metal it pays to store it in doors for the harsher weather. Wood is very durable and can last a lifetime with the proper care. Plastics is another option. A lot of patio furniture is metal but is coated with some type of faux plastic - so I doubt it rusts very easily. If you buy a decent quality set you should be able to get 10-15 years out of it. If you buy something cheap at Walmarts it will probably last half as long.
