How To Weather-Proof Your Metal Furniture For The Outdoor
1. Maintenance
Rust-oleum.I have used Rust-Oleum for years for all kinds of outdoor projects. They are my go-to paint for pretty much all furniture projects. They also are hosting a contest this summer! If you show your project on Instagram or Twitter, follow their accounts and use their #stoprust and #inwiththeold hashtags, you can be entered to win a monthly prize box and $100 gift card to any Rust-Oleum retailer of your choice! Just in case you needed any extra inspiration to get working on those projects.
If you have a piece of furniture that is just a little bit (I mean a teeny tiny bit) chipped, it can become rusty quickly and over time ruin your furniture. So it’s pretty important to maintain your metal furniture by sanding smooth any chipped areas and repainting them. It’s a small simple thing that can make your furniture last far, far longer!
For these chairs, I used Semi-Gloss Protective Enamel in White.
2. Proper Storage
If you live in a region that gets cold, rainy or snowy to the point where you are not using your outdoor space for part of the year—store your furniture! There is no reason to expose them to wear and tear when you aren’t even able to be out there enjoying them! If you don’t have storage indoors or some kind of shed, just buy protective waterproof covers for your pieces and use them through the winter or any season you aren’t using your outdoor space. It’s an extra step, I know, but you will be so glad you did!
