Safety standards for outdoor pavilions have been upgraded, with lightning protection and durability becoming the focus of the industry.

Recently, frequent extreme weather events in many places have prompted the outdoor pavilion industry to re-examine safety standards. In August this year, a pavilion in a park in Changzhou, Jiangsu, collapsed due to lightning strikes, causing serious casualties, which has aroused widespread social concern about the lightning protection design of outdoor buildings. Experts pointed out that traditional pavilions often lack effective protection because they are not included in the category of three types of lightning protection buildings. It is recommended to add lightning rods, grounding devices, and Faraday cage structures in the design to reduce the risk of lightning strikes.

At the same time, the market demand for the durability of pavilions is also rising. Some manufacturers have begun to use high-strength aluminum alloys, anti-rust coatings, and anti-UV fabrics to improve the stability of products in bad weather. The case of a pavilion in Florida, USA, which remained intact after a hurricane, further confirmed the importance of structural optimization. Industry insiders predict that in the future, the industry will accelerate the integration of intelligent monitoring systems, such as real-time wind speed warnings and structural health detection, to enhance user safety.

In addition, the European market's stringent requirements for product details are driving companies to improve their quality control level, such as anti-rust treatment of screws and sealing of seams. As the global outdoor leisure industry continues to heat up, the pavilion industry may usher in a new round of technological upgrades driven by both safety and functionality.
