For rooftops with no shade, the metal parts of urban outdoor furniture can indeed become dangerously hot to touch. Direct, prolonged sun exposure causes metal to absorb and retain significant heat, with surface temperatures often exceeding 140°F (60°C)—a level that can cause skin burns instantly. This is a major concern for safety and comfort. However, several strategies can mitigate this issue. Choosing furniture with minimal exposed metal or with powder-coated finishes can reduce heat absorption. Alternatively, incorporating removable fabric cushions, using light-colored umbrellas to create shade, or simply covering furniture when not in use are effective, practical solutions. For the best experience, consider materials like treated wood, high-quality resin, or aluminum with integrated heat-shield technology, which are designed to stay cooler under intense sun.
