touch painting on wrought iron furniture.
Comments (1)Sorry that you have not had a more prompt reply Carole, you may have already done your painting. Yeah, I would brush or sand the rust off, rustoleum puts out some good rust inhibiting paints and primers and you can find it at most big box stores. Do that, let it dry then spray your metal flake or what ever matches your original paint. Make it several light coats rather than trying to cover it all at once, that will help keep it from building up an running. Bill P....See MorePainting wrought iron furniture

Comments (28)I still have the aluminum patio furniture that I bought 17 yrs ago and it's held up extremely well. During strong winds the chairs are light enough to blow around the patio but they've never lifted off into orbit! When I know there's going to be a wind storm sometimes I'll push them over into a corner where they will be more protected, just so they don't bang into other things. Usually those types of storms are in the winter so if you are really worried about individual chairs moving just buy a patio cover that is large enough for the table and all the chairs around it. Last year I bought a pair of wrought iron chairs from Smith & Hawkins, they've got a black finish on them to protect the iron. S&H sells a protective cream for this type of furniture, it's expensive but if it keeps the chairs from rusting it will be worth it. As you know we get our rain in the winter and ours is a dry climate so I doubt wrought iron chairs are going to rust like they might in a more humid climate. I use Koveroos covers for all my outdoor furniture and when I know rain is coming I just throw it over them and remove when the sun is shining again. I haven't had these chairs long enough to know if they're going to rust or not but with these precautions I'm taking I'm pretty confident they'll hold up for many years. And if they do rust, well there are products to stop that from spreading. This may sound like a lot of maintenance but they're still a lot easier to keep clean than the white vinyl on my aluminum chairs. My neighbor bought a complete set of patio furniture from OSH a couple years ago, including a gazebo-like tent for overhead. I couldn't believe all that cost her only a couple hundred dollars. The problem with buying patio furniture from discount stores or hardware stores is the cushions. Better to find a set that doesn't require cushions because that's what desintegrates first. The original cushions that came with my set all faded very badly. To replace them would have cost a fortune but I know how to sew so I ordered a bolt of Sunbrella fabric from Calico Corners and made new ones. Unless the fabric says "Sunbrella" you're going to end up with faded fabric. Furniture sold by K-Mart,etc is not going to have Sunbrella fabric on it. In that case, chose a cushion that is light in color and definitely no prints. It's one thing to sew new cushions it's another when you have an unbrella that is also fading. Even though all the red & green color on our expensive Brown&Jordan unbrella had faded to a disgusting yellow I had no idea how to replace it so that one we pitched and I bought a new unbrella, this time in a solid color and using Sunbrella fabric....See MorePlease tell me about your patio furniture
Comments (17)I've had a Plow and Hearth all weather wicker chase for years that has sat out under the privet arch in the summer time the entire season day and night, brought in around October. Never had any problems with it, condition is still great, maybe the very bottom of the legs get dirty now and then esp. if it has rained but no biggie. I see no signs of sun fading either, tho it does not sit in full sun. Perhaps that might be a factor. Plus this piece was expensive so it probably makes a difference in the quality of the resin wicker. I use an aluminum "wrought iron look" table and chairs outside, without cover, and it is probably 12yrs. old now. It also stays out all summer long until Fall. This however will get white patches all over the top and in the carvings, I think it's called "salts"(?). It will clean up using a plastic scratch pad tho. In recent years it has acquire a green cast, most likely because it sits in a half shade/half sunny area. That also will clean off but with more elbow grease but I'm lazy. Sort of makes it look antique! ha....See Morelindac92
