ᐅ Garden chair made of powder-coated aluminum or steel

Hello,

a quick question about materials 😉

We want to buy new high-back garden chairs with adjustable backrests.

Some are made of aluminum, others of powder-coated steel. Apart from aluminum being lighter, I’m not very familiar with the differences. I vaguely remember that my parents once had powder-coated chairs where the coating eventually started to peel off. But I might be mistaken.

Best regards

So, what exactly is your question?

Powder-coated steel will eventually show signs of corrosion. However, it is more affordable (and heavier).

If the budget allows, then only aluminum.

Aluminum / powder-coated aluminum or stainless steel. You then have it for 20 years (if you want). Otherwise, just replace with 3 new simple ones in the same period…
