If you're concerned about rust ruining your outdoor furniture, you'll be relieved to know this collection is specifically engineered to resist corrosion. The secret lies in three key elements: the materials, protective coatings, and construction details.
First, the frames are crafted from aluminum, a non-ferrous metal that naturally resists rust. Unlike iron or ordinary steel, aluminum doesn't contain iron compounds that react with oxygen and moisture to form rust. These aluminum frames then receive a durable powder-coated finish. This coating isn't paint; it's an electrostatically applied polymer that's heat-cured to create a protective shell far thicker than traditional liquid paints. This barrier physically prevents moisture from reaching the metal beneath.
The woven elements use high-quality all-weather resin wicker. This synthetic material is completely immune to moisture, unlike natural wicker which can rot or promote rust on underlying frames. It's designed to withstand UV rays without fading or becoming brittle.
Finally, critical connection points feature stainless steel hardware. Stainless steel contains chromium, which forms a passive oxide layer that protects against rust. This attention to detail ensures that even the screws and bolts won't corrode over time.
Together, these features—rust-inert aluminum, a thick powder-coated shield, synthetic wicker, and stainless steel components—create furniture built to last through seasons of sun and rain without succumbing to rust.
