Aluminum Furniture FAQ's
What makes aluminum a good choice for outdoor furniture?
Aluminum is an excellent choice when it comes to outdoor furniture because of its durable but lightweight build. Not only is it resistant to long-term wear and tear, it’s also light enough to move from one spot to another if you ever want to switch things up. And unlike some other metals and materials, it’s resistant to the elements and less likely to rust, stain, warp or discolor over time.
How do I care for my aluminum patio furniture?
Cleaning your aluminum furniture with mild soap and water will keep it looking its best. To prevent rust buildup, you can clean your furniture with a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar if needed and you can even apply a protective coating for even more rust resistance.
Can I leave my aluminum furniture outdoors in the winter?
Aluminum furniture can be left outdoors in any type of weather as water, snow, heat and cold won’t immediately affect its structure or appearance. It can be helpful to apply a protective coating for long-term rust protection. The only immediate weather condition you’ll want to prepare for is particularly windy weather. Luckily, aluminum furniture is lightweight and can easily be moved to an indoor location or weighed down for stability.
How can I wind-proof my aluminum patio furniture?
Luckily, it’s easy to prep aluminum furniture for windy weather. We recommend using a heavy duty furniture cover and adding weights, like sand bags, on top of the cover for added stability. Another option is using bungee cords to tie your furniture to immovable objects. Wrap the bungee cords around your furniture and hook them to a heavier or more permanent object until the wind passes.
