When investing in urban outdoor furniture, a common concern is its ability to withstand harsh weather, particularly hail. The answer isn't a simple yes or no—it depends on the materials. High-quality aluminum, powder-coated steel, and certain synthetic resins like polywood often show good resistance to small, occasional hail. However, even durable materials can dent, crack, or chip under severe hailstorms. For furniture with glass tops, cushions, or weaker materials like standard wicker, covers are non-negotiable for hail protection. The best practice is a two-fold approach: first, choose inherently weather-resistant furniture designed for your climate. Second, use heavy-duty, waterproof covers when severe weather is forecasted. Covers act as a crucial shield, not just against hail but also UV rays, rain, and debris, significantly extending your furniture's lifespan. For permanent peace of mind, consider installing retractable awnings or locating furniture under solid overhead structures. Ultimately, while some modern furniture can survive mild hail, using covers is a wise and recommended investment for guaranteed protection against unpredictable urban weather extremes.
Can this urban outdoor furniture withstand hail or should I definitely get covers?
