Step 3: Choose Your Material. Before making a purchase it’s a good idea to think about how a piece is constructed, as different materials have varying functional, comfort and maintenance considerations. Our selection of patio furniture is available in cast aluminum, sling, resin wicker, teak wood and wrought iron. Cast Aluminum Cast aluminum patio furniture is lightweight, rust resistant and durable enough to withstand all types of weather. Cast Aluminum Furniture is one of the most popular choices in outdoor furniture require very little maintenance. The best way to keep cast aluminum looking like new is to take steps to prevent damage from the elements by using a protective cover. The simplest and most inexpen- sive method to keeping your furniture clean is to pull out the hose and spray it down. Occasionally, when simple hosing off the outdoor furniture does not work, a simple mixture of mild dish soap and water is your best solution. The most important things to avoid are corrosive or abrasive cleaners and other cleaning products such as steel wool that may per- manently scratch the protective coating and even the aluminum itself. We carry a selection of 303 products to clean and maintain your furniture to look like new for years. 16 DOT Furniture offers a ten year warranty on the frame and a one year warranty on the finish of all cast aluminum furniture to be free from defects in material and workmanship.
