Great question! Yes, our outdoor benches are designed to withstand the elements, and they come with a warranty that specifically covers rust and cracking caused by sun exposure. Here’s a quick breakdown so you know exactly what’s protected and for how long.
Rust Warranty
Our benches are made from powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel, both of which resist corrosion. The frame typically carries a 5-year warranty against rust perforation. For premium models with marine-grade finishes, that coverage can extend to 10 years. Keep in mind that surface rust from scratches or misuse isn’t covered, but if the coating fails under normal weather conditions, we’ll handle it.
Sun and Cracking Warranty
The bench slats and seats (whether wood, recycled plastic, or resin) are UV-stabilized to prevent fading and cracking. Most models include a 3-year warranty against sun-induced cracking. For HDPE (high-density polyethylene) lumber, we often offer a 10-year warranty because it’s exceptionally UV-resistant. Natural wood benches (like teak or eucalyptus) don’t carry a cracking warranty, but they do have a 1-year defect warranty if the wood splits abnormally.
What’s Not Covered
- Normal wear and tear, like minor scratches or color fading after years.
- Damage from improper cleaning (e.g., using harsh chemicals).
- Acts of nature, like hurricanes or extreme hail.
How to Claim
Just snap a photo of the issue, email it to us with your purchase date, and we’ll send a replacement part or a full bench (depending on the model). Most claims are processed within 2–3 business days.
Bottom Line:
If you’re worried about rust or sun cracking, our benches have you covered. For the longest peace of mind, choose the aluminum frame with HDPE slats—they’re our most durable combo. Still have a specific bench in mind? Drop the model number, and I’ll confirm the exact warranty terms for you!
