When choosing outdoor seating for areas prone to sun dogs—a phenomenon caused by ice crystals refracting sunlight—durability and UV protection are key. Opt for materials like powder-coated aluminum, teak, or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that resist fading and warping. Shaded seating options, such as pergolas or umbrellas, provide relief from intense sunlight. Cushions with UV-resistant fabric ensure comfort without degradation. For long-lasting use, prioritize furniture with weatherproof coatings and sturdy construction to withstand harsh conditions. These choices ensure your outdoor space remains functional and stylish despite frequent sun exposure.
