Patio furniture

Assuming all things were created equal, would you get an aluminum set or cast iron?
Pros and cons of each? Totally torn.

Re: Patio furniture

Are you protecting them from the elements in the winter? Cast iron can get super hot in the summer if they are not in the shade. While I love the look of cast iron, I think I would do faux for practical reasons.

I have a cast aluminum set. I leave them out all winter (I bring the cushions in), and it's been several years, and they still look as good as new. Never have to worry about rusting, they are light, so easy to move around.

Re: Patio furniture

if i had to choose i would say cast or extruded aluminum. doesn't really rust, lighter in weight to move around, and doesn't get as hot as the iron sets IMO.
