Are PVC loungers prone to cracking if overloaded?
PVC loungers are popular for their lightweight and weather-resistant properties, but many users wonder if they crack under excessive weight. While PVC is durable, overloading can lead to stress fractures, especially in cheaper or older models. Most high-quality PVC loungers have a weight limit of around 250-300 pounds, but prolonged overloading weakens the material. To prevent cracking, avoid exceeding the manufacturer's recommended capacity and store loungers indoors during extreme weather. Regular cleaning and UV protection sprays also help maintain their strength. If cracks appear, repair kits or reinforcing supports can extend their lifespan. Choosing thicker, reinforced PVC designs further reduces cracking risks.
