Metal Patio Furniture

Metal patio furniture sets for dining and lounging

Metal patio furniture sets range from two-chair bistro sets to dining sets and sectionals that seat up to 8 people. Choose by how you use the space, since a bistro set suits a balcony while a dining set needs room to pull chairs back from the table.

Some sets include cushions, some fold or stack for storage, and some chairs swivel or glide, so check each listing for exactly what is included.

Patio furniture metal table sizes and shapes

A patio furniture metal table comes in round, square, rectangular and oval shapes, and measured widths across the page run from 16.3 to 137.8 inches. Some tables have an umbrella hole, and some extend to seat a larger group.

Leave about 3 feet behind each dining chair so guests can sit down and stand up without bumping a wall or railing.

Black metal patio furniture and other finishes

Black metal patio furniture is the most common choice here, followed by brown and gray, with beige, white and blue also available. Dark finishes pair well with light cushions and natural wood tops.

Dark metal can get hot in direct sun, so place seating in shade or add cushions for comfort.

Metal frame patio furniture with wicker, wood or glass

Metal frame patio furniture is sometimes combined with other materials, including resin wicker, solid acacia, glass tops and fabric cushions. Frames are aluminum, steel or iron depending on the design, so read the material line on each listing.

Aluminum frames do not rust, while steel and iron can rust if the coating is scratched through, so touch up chips early.

Metal outdoor patio furniture care for rain, sun and winter

Wash metal outdoor patio furniture with mild soap and water, rinse it, dry it, and clear debris from joints where moisture collects. A fitted cover protects it between uses and keeps dirt and pollen off the frame.

For winter, store cushions indoors and keep the frames covered, or move them into a garage or shed if space allows.
