How Well Does Powder-Coated Aluminum Hold Up Against Rust and Salt Air?
Powder-coated aluminum resists rust completely because aluminum doesn't corrode the way steel does, and the baked-on powder finish seals out moisture and salt. These frames handle coastal humidity, poolside splashes, and year-round rain without pitting or oxidation. The coating is electrostatically bonded and cured at high heat, so it won't chip as easily as paint, and you can hose down the frames without worrying about water creeping under the finish.Will Quick-Dry Mesh Fabric Fade or Mildew in the Sun?
The quick-dry mesh used in these sling collections is solution-dyed and UV-stabilized, so it resists fading through thousands of hours of direct sun. Water drains through the weave in minutes instead of pooling, which prevents the standing moisture that causes mildew and odor. The fabric stretches taut across the frame for support, then releases tension when you stand, so it doesn't sag or stretch out permanently over time. Rinse it with a hose if dirt builds up; the open weave means no scrubbing corners where grime hides.Do You Have to Bring Sling Furniture Inside for Winter?
You don't have to bring it inside, but covering it or storing it in a shed extends the life of both the mesh and the frame finish. The aluminum won't rust if left out, and the mesh fabric is mildew resistant, but UV exposure year-round will eventually fade any textile, and freezing water in the sling can stress the fabric weave. If you leave chairs out, tip them so water drains off, or use fitted covers to block snow and ice. Lightweight aluminum makes these pieces easy to move into a garage or basement when the season ends.Frequently Asked Questions
- Can sling furniture stay outside all year?
- The frames can stay out year-round without rusting, but the mesh fabric lasts longer if you cover the pieces or move them inside during winter to limit UV and freeze-thaw cycles. Tipping chairs so water drains helps if you leave them uncovered.
- Will the mesh sag over time?
- Quality quick-dry mesh is engineered to return to its original tension after use, so it won't sag permanently if the frame stays square. Avoid leaving heavy objects on the seats for long periods.
- Is it safe for a pool deck or coastal patio?
- Yes--powder-coated aluminum won't rust in salt air or chlorine spray, and the quick-dry mesh sheds water fast enough to prevent mildew buildup. Rinse frames occasionally to keep salt from dulling the finish.
- How do I clean the sling fabric?
- Hose down the mesh and wipe with mild soap and water. The open weave drains quickly, so you won't need to scrub trapped dirt. Let it air-dry before using.
- Does it arrive assembled?
- Some pieces ship fully assembled; others require attaching legs or stretching the sling onto the frame. White-glove assembly is available upon request for an additional fee.
- What's included with free shipping?
- Free standard curbside delivery to the continental USA. In-room placement, packaging removal, and assembly are optional paid services you can add at checkout.
We recommend a simple and effective cleaning and care regimen for our products.
