u003cbru003e Let's talk about aluminum first. We all know that aluminum has a low boiling point and strong flexibility, so it is relatively easy to deform. Therefore, its firmness is worse than that of steel. Generally, it is not recommended to use it in windy areas. The wall thickness of the steel material can be increased, the stability is high, the supporting force is strong, the wind resistance is up to 36km/s, and the earthquake resistance is above 8.8, so the steel material is more robust.

u003cbru003e If you choose garden lights from the price, aluminum is expensive because of the complicated manufacturing process and the material cost. Therefore, the price of aluminum garden lights is 3~6 times higher than that of steel materials.

u003cbru003e When making aluminum garden lights, you must first burn the liquid, and then use a special abrasive tool to transform the liquid into a shape. In the middle, various patterns will be carved on the aluminum rod, and after it is dried, it is galvanized and sprayed.

u003cbru003e The steel material is just cut into the required conical plates with a steel plate through a shearing machine, and then rolled into a light pole by a plate rolling machine, and then welded, polished and other processes are used to make it look beautiful. After completion, galvanized spray Plastic.

u003cbru003e The construction period and complexity of aluminum garden lights are more than those of steel materials. This also means that the styles of courtyard lights made of steel materials are relatively simple, while aluminum courtyard lights are rich in styles although they are expensive and not strong enough.
