Steel is one of the most popular materials for its extreme strength. It’s tougher than aluminium, wears better, and isn’t prone to dents.
It’s an affordable, durable option that lacks rust-resistance. It sometimes requires coating touch-ups and is vulnerable to signs of wear. Carbon steel is strong and has a unique black sheen that works well in some developments. Carbon steel can be coated to prevent rust. High carbon steel is harder than blue steel, but the latter is more rust resistant. Stainless steel rarely cracks, but in areas that endure frequent storms, it is possible after heavy use.
