Cast Aluminum Outdoor Furniture Outdoor furniture made from cast aluminum is long-lasting and resistant to corrosion. Because it is light in weight it is also easy to carry. It is very special in today’s outdoor furniture market and comes in a variety of styles from retro and postmodern to the lovely styles that we associate with charming and old-fashioned cast iron furniture found in English Cottage gardens and in fine plantation gardens. It is available at all price points and is also very easy to maintain, unlike cast iron furniture. •Decon designs Cast aluminum is drastically different from wrought aluminum because of the amazing detailing that is facilitated by the casting process. Intricately hand-carved molds are made for each piece. Molten aluminum is then poured into the molds and allowed to cool; yielding furniture that is rich with elegance and loads of character. The end result is a very strong, weather resistant, corrosion resistant, durable, lightweight piece of outdoor furniture with intricate patterns and detailing. Many wonderful “period designs” can be wonderfully reproduced today utilizing cast aluminum instead of the age-old cast iron. So, It is important to note that all quality cast aluminum outdoor furniture will have a “powder-coated” finish that gives the metal its color and makes it impervious to fading and to the elements.
