Iron Umbrella Base

Many people purchase a metal umbrella stand because it is heavy, durable, and reliable. Cast iron or steel are excellent materials for a strong umbrella stand. It is made out of super-heated iron and created in a blast furnace. The unique look of cast iron is now synonymous with antiques, elegance, and refined style. With the heavy-duty umbrella stands, the owners will never have to worry about their garden furniture toppling over in a breeze – interrupting the back yard relaxation.

If you are wondering where you can use the cast iron umbrella bases in your home, the answer is anywhere so long as the piece is suitable for that location. Cast iron is a strong metal but not as strong or pure as wrought iron and that means it is more susceptible to rust. If you want to add an umbrella stand to your bathroom or kitchen perhaps as an unusual decoration you are probably best to pick an alternative to cast iron. You can treat the umbrella stand so that it isn't as susceptible to rust but it may be best to choose a ceramic one instead.

Cast iron umbrella stands are easy to take care of. Most are pre-coated with a rust resistant material. Examine the stand once every six months for signs of rust and you can recover it with a protective coating.
