They are durable:

Aluminum offers the best strength to weigh ratios of other metals as it has about one third density and stiffness of steel.  It’s strong enough to become of great importance in the aerospace industry, transportation and building.  Its sturdy and durable quality makes it ideal for outdoor furniture use.
