What is better for a patio set? Steel or cast aluminum?
I am looking for a really nice quality patio set that will last me for many years. What is more durable, steel or cast aluminum?
Cast Aluminum patio furniture will outlast steel in all enviroments. It is a "zero maintenance" product, which should never need re-painting or replacing.
It is, however, advisable to spend to your maximum budget....there are different grades of quality out there....as with anything you purchase, make the judgement call as to whether the $99.99 set of 2 chairs and a table are as good as the set where the table alone is $99 and each chair is $150....there is a price difference for a reason....after all, a Kia and a Mercedes are both "just cars", but the quality justifies the difference in cost.
A solid cast aluminum set (as opposed to a "tube" style) is able to be left out of doors 12 months a year, so if you live in an area with climactic extremes, it would be your best choice....if you are in a location with minor fluctuations, and are not intending to treat the pieces roughly, a "tube" style aluminum set may do....however, for the longest lifespan, stay away from sling style chairs, as the fabric will deteriorate long before the frames give out..
Good luck in your search!
