The answer can be both yes and no because it solely depends on the material used in manufacturing the furniture. Wood and cast aluminum-based furniture will never rust, but patio furniture made of wrought iron or steel is likely to rust over some time. However, this too depends on the quality of raw material used.

Teak wood furniture is made from the wood of the Tectona grandis tree. The popular English name for Tectona grandis is teak. Teak wood is predominant in India, various parts of Southeast Asia, and the tropical areas of Central America. Furniture made of teak wood is very high in quality and can be used as patio furniture.

On a general basis, patio furniture of high quality demands a very low amount of maintenance. Keep in mind that this highly depends on the quality of raw material gone into making it. But there are some kinds of patio furniture that require some careful maintenance, such as those made from wood.
