When investing in outdoor furniture, a common and crucial question arises: Are the fasteners used rust-proof? The answer is a definitive yes. We prioritize longevity and structural integrity, which is why all connecting hardware—including screws, bolts, and nuts—is specifically chosen for its corrosion resistance.

The primary material employed is 304-grade stainless steel. This alloy contains chromium, which forms an invisible protective layer that prevents oxidation and rust formation when exposed to moisture and oxygen. For certain components in less critical areas, we use heavily galvanized steel fasteners. These are coated with a thick layer of zinc, which acts as a sacrificial barrier, corroding before the steel core can rust.

Furthermore, our assembly process often incorporates weather-resistant washers and nylon-insert lock nuts. These not only prevent loosening due to wind or movement but also add an extra layer of separation between metal parts and the elements. Regular exposure to rain, humidity, and salty air near coastlines demands this level of protection. While no material is entirely invincible, this strategic use of rust-proof fasteners significantly extends the life of your furniture, ensuring it remains safe, sturdy, and visually appealing for seasons to come. Proper care, such as using covers during harsh weather, further complements this built-in durability.
