Cast Iron or Metal Garden Furniture?

by sladetanner on April 1, 2010

The summer is a great time of year to expand your living space outside to a cozy room. I get excited when I start thinking about how to design my outdoor rooms. My metal garden furniture is on the back patio. It is a nice white color with blue and white striped cushions.

Entertaining my family and friends is great on my outside patio. My garden furniture has two chairs, one is a rocker and my sofa is large enough to take a much needed nap. The coffee table has a glass top and is great for our drinks and food. On a warm summer day the furniture is so comfortable and relaxing on my patio. Plus, it gives me more living room to entertain and enjoy my guess indoor and outdoors.

Metal furniture is more stable than plastic garden furniture. The plastic tends to get black stains and cracks which is not a problem with metal garden furniture. With the right care it will last for years. I cover mine and put it in the basement in the winter.

On my front porch my cast iron garden furniture set is made up of a table with two chairs. It is compact and fits well on my front porch. Great for any evening of tea and watching the sun go down. I am able to keep my cast iron garden furniture outdoors all year round because it is covered. Each needs to be taken care of yearly for rust and maintenance, but that is a part of any outdoor furniture. My metal garden furniture is not as heavy as my cast iron garden furniture. I only have three pieces of the cast iron to move around. The purchase has been a successful one and each should be considered for what you are going to be using it for in your outdoor summer living rooms.

Shopping around for the right fit and space is the most important thing. Although the cost can be higher than other garden furniture, the Metal and Cast Iron Garden Furniture will certainly out last other plastics and cheap made wooden brands. It is a toss up between the two types of  garden furniture and each person will need to make the decision about their own needs and space.
