What are the benefits of copper for outdoor gas lighting?
 Copper is maintenance free, it can endure all weather conditions and lasts forever. Consider the Statue of Liberty. The natural oxidation process creates a patina which provides a natural barrier to the elements and creates a protective coating. While other metals will deteriorate, copper will stabilize as it ages. Metal will rust without a protective coating, aluminum will deteriorate through electrolytic corrosion, brass will pit unless maintained through periodic polishing and stainless steel will stain. Plastic components will degrade due to exposure to UV light. All you need to do with your Copper Lanterns is just dust them from time to time and clean the glass.
Copper is a plentiful natural resource that has been used throughout history. Known worldwide resources are estimated at nearly 5.8 trillion pounds, of which only 12% have been mined. Almost all of that 12% is still in circulation because copper's recycling rate is higher than any other metal.
