Product FAQ’s:
What does Fermob mean?
“Fer” means “iron” and “mobilier” means “furniture” in French. Shorten each word and you get Fer+mob (iron furniture).
Near the ocean, what types of product should I purchase?
We highly recommend aluminum products for use in coastal, humid and salty-air environments as aluminum does not rust. Steel products are not recommended for coastal or poolside use as they will eventually rust. The speed of rust development depends on the environment and care given.

What kind of material does Fermob use?
For its furniture, Fermob chooses to use metal (steel or aluminum) for its incredible versatility. The metals we use are top-grade steel and aluminum. Fermob furniture can be either exclusively metal or a combination of metal and OTF (outdoor technical fabric, a type of PVC-coated polyester), woven polymer (Sixties), or outdoor fabrics in conjunction with top-quality renowned suppliers such as Ferrari and Dickson.
Is it okay to leave Fermob outside?
Yes! Fermob furniture is meant to live outdoors. The paint used is a 100% polyester, anti-UV powder paint, subject to standard tests for baking, hardness, resistance to scratches and corrosion. It is applied electrostatically to the furniture for optimal coverage, and then baked at a very high temperature.
How do I care for my Fermob products?
Clean metal surfaces when debris builds up. Bird droppings, sap, leaves (organic substances) and other potentially corrosive substances should be cleaned as soon as noticed.
To clean, use a gentle, naturally based all-purpose cleaner (or a mild dish soap) and a smooth cloth or sponge. Gently dust beforehand to avoid scratches due to existing rough particles. You can also occasionally use a bit of pure mineral oil to give your Fermob a clear coat that will both brighten and provide a gentle seal of protection.
Many Fermob designs are constructed of Steel. Treat these pieces like you would a car. Steel will rust once the outer paint layers are compromised or scratched through. If this occurs you may order a paint pen (to fill nicks and scratches), or a spray can (to cover larger areas). Keep in mind that by the nature of the material, Steel rusts. The timing will depend on the care and environment (humid or salty air speeds up this process).
Never leave your Fermob under a cover or non-breathing material such as a tarp. This will promote the deterioration of the finish. Fermob is happiest out in the open or stored away in a dry location with good air circulation.
Damages can begin at the base/feet. If you notice rubber feet missing from your tables or chairs, you may purchase replacements on our website by clicking here. If you do not see the part you need, email customerservice@fermobusa.com with a photo.

We are dedicated to continually improving our environmental impact. Some examples include saving materials, limiting waste, reducing energy output, and reducing water use.
