Types of Garden Furniture: Wood, Metal, Plastic, and Wrought Iron Compared

Garden furniture defines outdoor living. Four material families dominate—each with distinct trade-offs.

Wood: Warmth and Variety

Oak, pine, teak, cedar, eucalyptus. Stained/painted. Natural beauty. Maintenance spectrum: teak (minimal) to pine (annual). Compact to expansive. Universal appeal.

Metal: Durability Defined

Aluminum, steel, wrought iron. Powder-coated. Near-zero maintenance. Decades lifespan. Modern to ornamental. Heavier than plastic, lighter than wood.

Plastic: Accessibility Leader

Resin, polypropylene. Cheapest entry. Lightweight. Fades, stains, cracks in 2–5 years typically. Premium resins approach metal longevity. Best for: budget, temporary, rental.

Wrought Iron: Timeless Character

Hand-forged or cast. Gray patinas. Classical silhouettes. Indestructible. Contrasts nature beautifully. Minimal maintenance. Suits every style. Investment piece.
