Metal Garden Furniture Manufacturing Process
The following production process ensures that our aluminium outdoor furniture lasts:
- resin cast to maintain sharp molding
- chromation to stop oxidization
- powder coated through electrolysis
- application of ultra violet light repellent
- extensively wrapped and packed
We do not offer iron garden furniture because:
- iron rusts
- iron is very heavy
- iron is brittle
At Outside Edge our metal patio furniture range consists of:
N.B. an oval garden table has straight sides and semi-circular ends, an elliptical outdoor table is the shape of an ellipse or a ‘squashed circle’.
Originally designed in Denmark, our rattan garden furniture is modern, sleek and practical for a contemporary look.
What is rattan garden furniture made from?
Also known as resin weave or woven wicker, rattan outdoor furniture is basically extruded polypropylene fibre, woven onto a metal frame. Polypropylene was first used in the1980s in the garden furniture industry to manufacture stacking resin chairs and garden tables.

- Grade A polypropylene – tested to +40°c and -40°c
- Rust proof, rot proof, frost proof
- Leave permanently outside
- Clean with soapy water and hose down
- 8mm tempered glass table tops (be careful – many manufacturers use 5mm glass tops)
- No maintenance
- No annual sanding and oiling
- Ultra violet resistant
- Wicker garden furniture is light yet robust
- Security chain fixing with each piece
- Polished aluminium leg cap to stop unravelling
