Wrought iron brings a classic beauty and timelessness to patio furniture that cannot be duplicated by any other material. Long before aluminum was developed and used for outdoor furniture, wrought iron was used for furniture and building applications requiring extreme durability and weather resistance. Along the way, artisans working with wrought iron also discovered that it could be bent and twisted into dramatic and attractive shapes, providing almost limitless design opportunities.

Technically, wrought iron is comprised mainly of low-carbon iron mixed with other impurities and slag, the fused residue of refined metals. It is prized for its toughness, malleability and the ability to weld it easily, thanks to its low carbon content. These characteristics also make it ideal for patio furniture, as well as its inherent weight so that it is stable and doesn’t take flight easily in high winds.

One of the most famous and durable landmarks built from a form of wrought iron called puddle iron, is the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Modern wrought iron is no longer made of the same slag-filled iron alloy as used in the Eiffel Tower and other historic structures, as wrought iron is no longer manufactured on a commercial scale. Most products described today as wrought iron, such as outdoor patio furniture, fencing, guardrails and garden gates, are made of mild steel, a plentiful form of low-carbon steel. These items are referred to as wrought iron because they are worked – literally wrought, the past tense of work, usually beaten and hammered into shape – by hand crafting to derive the intricate shapes and details for which they are well known and loved.

While wrought iron has a strong heritage in construction and furniture building, it has also adapted well to the application of technology where attractive powder coated finishes and modern design values bring it into the 21st Century. The wrought iron patio furniture you purchase now will be a lasting investment for you, your family and loved ones as they grow around you.
