Using Cast Iron Table Legs for Your Tuscan-Style Porch or Patio

Tuscan-style porches and patios are a beautiful and inviting place to relax with family or entertain friends and business associates. With colorful paving stones for the base and big wooden timbers for the enclosures, it is easy to create the look and feel of the Italian countryside. We can help you create a space in your own backyard that fits your vision of Tuscany.

People choose many styles of furniture for their Tuscan-inspired seating areas, but cast iron table legs and chairs with wrought iron legs are the most commonly used. However, when designing for your own space, you should not feel limited; there are many choices available for furnishing with a Tuscan feel.

Wooden tables and chairs can certainly be used in a Tuscan space, though they rarely are. We know how popular cast iron table legs are, but we also know that many people dislike the weight of cast iron. With that in mind, there are other lighter metals that can be used as an alternative. Aluminum, when properly worked, can look every bit as beautiful as cast iron without the extra weight. However, we have come to find that cast iron table legs are the most common selection for those looking for a Tuscan-type setup.

The main things to remember when creating a Tuscan style are to stay with neutral and earth tones for the color scheme and to use large pale-colored stones and rough-hewn wood for building the floor and any walls or ceilings. Some sort of awning or covered style is best for this type of patio, but it is not entirely necessary. Arbors and trellises covered in vines will really make the patio feel like it is sitting in the middle of the Italian wine country.
