You could sand them and then paint with a metal rust inhibiting paint like RustOleum. It will depend on what pieces you have as to how you can use them.
My nieghbor used his old gazebo as decor in their front yard. He sanded the rust off, spray painted black and uses it as a way for vines to gently climb. Looks very nice.
They even used an old metal headboard as a gate into their beautiful yard.
Oh I would add them to my cottage style garden as art/ trellises. The could be really cool either painted or with a natural patina.
Instead of spending money trying to transform them, I would suggest to post them under Free Items on Kijiji or Craigslist. I am thinking that maybe folks who build floats or seasonal displays may be looking for such items to use as structural parts.
Use for plants outside
You can sand it and use metal spray paint
Sand and paint, they would make a pretty trellis for climbing plants. You could put them in the corners of a raised garden bed and attach mesh fencing to keep out animals.
sand down the rust or use Rustoleum rust remover. Then repaint with Rustoleum.
Clean them up using WD-40 and then paint them to look like new.
