Stainless Steel Outdoor Furniture Material
Durable and Distinctive for Outdoor Living
Stainless steel is a sleek and enduring choice for outdoor furniture. At Design Warehouse, we use premium 316 marine-grade stainless steel — the industry’s highest standard — prized for its corrosion resistance, strength, and contemporary finish.
Often referred to as “marine-grade,” 316 stainless steel contains higher levels of nickel and molybdenum, making it more resistant to oxidation, pitting, and rust than lower grades like 302 or 304. It’s exceptionally well-suited to New Zealand’s coastal and humid climates.
This alloy also enables a refined brushed or micro-polished finish, contributing to the elegant, modern look of our furniture collections. When paired with other materials like Grade-A teak and Batyline® mesh, stainless steel offers both visual contrast and long-lasting performance.
Many of our stainless steel designs are crafted with longevity in mind — including dining tables, outdoor chairs, benches and loungers. Whether you’re furnishing a coastal terrace or an inner-city balcony, this material offers a timeless, high-performance option for outdoor living.
