By its very makeup, iron requires little or as much care as you feel necessary. It does not corrode in the same way as other metals; it is, however, prone to cracking if dropped, or if something collides with the furniture. Left untreated, it will naturally weather down and gain an aged patina.
For those living in coastal areas and areas of high pollution, your bench is likely to patina more rapidly. If you wish to counteract this, we recommend painting bi-annually to preserve your chosen colour finish. A spray lacquer or yacht varnish would also be recommended for any exposed metal, fixings or seating without the protection of a colour finish.
If required, after 6 months of enjoying your outdoor furniture, we recommend re-painting to cover any French Bleed, staining, exposed joints or fixings, and to generally maintain the finish. The metalwork should only be re-finished in a recommended metal paint in any colour of your choosing. If you prefer to leave the piece to continue to patina, this is entirely down to personal preference.
After 12 months, we highly recommend repainting unless you wish to leave the finish to patina over time for a more vintage look. This process will need to be repeated annually. Prior to painting any flaking areas, existing paint should be given a light sanding to prepare the surface properly. Please ensure that the paint you are using is metal based. Most good hardware stores will be able to advise further but we recommend Hammerite.
Due to the harsh weather conditions seen throughout the winter months, we highly advise that you consider storing your outdoor furniture inside away from heavy rain, snow and other adverse conditions. If this isn’t possible, protecting your outdoor items with a waterproof cover would be advised.
