How do ODM manufacturers test the resistance of outdoor furniture to ice and snow?

Outdoor furniture must withstand harsh weather conditions, including ice and snow. ODM manufacturers employ rigorous testing methods to ensure durability. Common techniques include freeze-thaw cycling, where furniture is repeatedly exposed to freezing temperatures and thawing to simulate seasonal changes. Impact resistance tests evaluate how well materials hold up under heavy snow loads, while moisture absorption tests check for structural integrity. Advanced labs may use environmental chambers to replicate extreme winter conditions. These tests help manufacturers refine designs, select robust materials, and guarantee long-term performance for customers in cold climates.
