We bought patio furniture a while back, and it’s made of all aluminum, which is great bc after several years, there’s not a spot of rust. We love it. We got the gazebo that went w/it, but it was bamboo, and after several rainy/humid summers, it disintegrated.
Now, we found another gazebo that matches our chairs, but it’s made from "powder-coated rust-resistant steel." We know this stuff will likely still rust, even though it’s "resistant" to it, because we’ve seen it happen w/neighbor’s/family’s stuff etc.
Is there anything you can do to it to prevent it from rusting? We hate to spend the $ on something that’s going to rust out in 2-3 years.
Any opinions of that Rustoleum stuff? My inlaws used it but their patio furniture still rusted apart. I don’t know what to do. Is there some kind of oil protectant or something to rub on it periodically? Any experience with powder-coated steel patio furniture?
Any ideas would be great, thanks!
