Are concrete outdoor chairs susceptible to corrosion from de-icing salts?
Concrete outdoor chairs are generally resistant to corrosion compared to metal furniture, but they can still be affected by de-icing salts over time. While concrete itself does not rust, prolonged exposure to salt can lead to surface deterioration, cracking, or efflorescence (white salt deposits). To minimize damage, rinse chairs with water after salt exposure and apply a concrete sealer for added protection. Proper maintenance ensures longevity, making concrete a durable choice for outdoor seating even in harsh winter conditions.
