URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

When setting up urban outdoor furniture on a rooftop, using specific foundations or pads is crucial for both protecting your furniture and the rooftop surface. The primary considerations include weight distribution, preventing scratches, and ensuring stability against wind. For most rooftop setups, non-scratch felt pads or rubber feet are essential under chair and table legs to prevent damage to the roofing material. If you have heavier pieces, like a large dining set or a sofa, consider using deck protectors or patio furniture pads specifically designed for distributed weight support. These are often made from durable, weather-resistant plastics or composites. For planters, ensure there is a proper barrier, like a tray or specialized planter feet, to avoid water pooling and potential roof damage. Always check your rooftop's weight capacity and the furniture manufacturer's recommendations. Proper foundations not only prolong the life of your furniture and roof but also enhance safety by preventing items from shifting in windy conditions. Avoid using materials that can trap moisture, such as untreated wood blocks, as these can lead to mold or rot.
