Most Bend products are made of iron. The iron is hand shaped and spot welded to create the initial design and shape of each product. We then sandblast the metal to clean away any imperfections. Galvanization or the application of DuPont fluorocarbon makes the iron more durable and suitable for outdoor environments. Though our products are durable, the lifespan of the finish can vary depending on the environmental conditions of the setting. Our iron products are meant for mild environments where the products do not sit in precipitation for long periods of time. If pieces are exposed to the elements, we recommend wiping the item(s) clean of any moisture. The base material iron is:

• Sandblasted to clean any imperfections on the surface

• Hot-dip galvanized to prevent rust

• Powder coated, for a resistant coating on the product’s surface

Climates with high levels of humidity and/or constant moisture from rain or sea spray can be toxic to outdoor furniture. For these harsher environments, our products can be constructed using stainless steel. Stainless steel is a combination of iron, chromium, nickel, manganese, and copper that stands up to corrosion and degradation in moisture heavy climates. This upgrade is the best way to keep our Goods looking their best for generations to come.

Powder Coating:

We powder coat our products to make them as durable as possible. Our powder coaters use Tiger and DuPont powder coating materials to create the finishes for all Bend pieces. These finishes are VOC free certified and are completely customizable.

Custom Colors:

If our standard powder coated finishes don’t pique your interest, you can select any Ral color to create a custom color finish. Ask about custom finishes and let us make your dream a reality!

No matter what the material (i.e. wood, fabric, plastic, metal...) all furniture requires maintenance to ensure a long healthy life. The lifespan of the material and finish will vary considerably in relation to the conditions and type of use it is subject to. To help you maximize the lifespan of both Bend powder-coated and plated furniture, we have some essential rules you should follow.

• Always store Bend furniture in dry, well-ventilated places when it is not in use

• Take every precaution to protect Bend furniture from any knocks or bumps that could cause chipping or scratching to the finish. Touch up paint should be immediately applied to any blemishes that occur.

• To prevent scratches and water retention, we recommend that you do not place decorative objects or flowerpots on any Bend wire tabletops without rubber or felt pads to prevent damage due to scraping.

• Use glides to protect furniture feet as well as floor surfaces. These prevent degradation or damage to the legs and feet resulting from unprotected contact with the ground.

• Immediately clean off any traces of bird droppings, as these can be damaging and may lead to the corrosion or staining of your furniture.

• Screws used for assembly may need to be tightened on an as needed basis based on volume of use. We recommend at least every 4 to 6 months.
