Great question. If you’re near the coast, salt air can be tough on outdoor furniture, but our benches are built specifically to handle it. We use marine-grade aluminum or powder-coated galvanized steel for the frames—both materials naturally resist corrosion. Unlike iron or untreated steel, they won’t rust or pit even after years of exposure to salty breezes and sea spray.
For wooden surfaces, we select high-density teak or eucalyptus, which have natural oils that repel moisture and salt. Every metal component, including screws and brackets, is stainless steel to prevent weak spots. We also apply a UV-stable, weather-resistant finish that blocks salt particles from bonding to the surface.
If you live right on the ocean, we recommend rinsing the benches with fresh water every few weeks to remove salt buildup—it’s a simple habit that keeps them looking new. In our tests, these benches have lasted over a decade in coastal environments without structural issues.
