| Aluminum furniture |
Aluminum is a remarkable material: very strong, very light and very
resistant to corrosion. Available as tubular aluminum or cast
aluminum, it is a genuinely modern material for garden construction.
Aluminum was discovered in France, in 1821, but was not available in
industrial quantities until electric power became cheap.
Manufacturers have been quick to use aluminum for garden chairs,
tables, benches, seats and other items of garden furniture.
Aluminum garden furniture's corrosion resistance is an unmitigated advantage. Aluminum's light weight is an advantage if you want to move the furniture around but a disadvantage is you do not want it to be blown over.
If you do not like the colour of 'raw' aluminum it can be powder coated. This coating adheres to aluminum better than paint: it is an extremely durable product. Some manufacturers use steel fastenings with aluminum but even if galvanized, will rust in time. Stainless steel does not have this problem.
Aluminum can be formed to
resemble cast iron or it can be used in modern shapes, taking
advantage of the properties of the material.
