wrought iron

Many wrought iron outdoor items are treated for outdoor use with rust-resistant, corrosion-resistant, or powder-coated finishes and other weatherproof coatings to help resist UV damage and general weather exposure.

Assembly requirements vary by product. Some wrought iron items arrive ready to use, while others require adult assembly and may or may not include tools. Product listings typically note whether tools are provided.

Many wrought iron pieces are designed for outdoor use — gardens, terraces, balconies, and patios — while some items, such as plant stands, are described for both indoor and outdoor use.

Wrought iron frames are often powder-coated or electroplated and may receive anti-rust or corrosion-resistant treatments. Some fixtures feature electroplated metallic finishes such as raw copper or gold/brass tones on the frame.

Patio tables often include conveniences for outdoor use such as an umbrella hole (commonly around 1.5 inches in diameter), bar-height options, and included assembly hardware to simplify setup.
