Can natural rattan outdoor bar stools handle snow loads?
Natural rattan outdoor bar stools are popular for their aesthetic appeal and lightweight design, but many wonder if they can withstand snow loads. While rattan is durable, it is not inherently snow-resistant. Prolonged exposure to heavy snow can cause the fibers to weaken or crack over time. To protect your rattan stools, consider covering them during winter or storing them indoors. Opting for synthetic rattan or weatherproof-treated natural rattan can improve snow load resistance. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and applying protective sealants, also helps extend their lifespan in harsh weather conditions. Always check manufacturer guidelines for specific weight and weather limitations.
