| Material | High-Heat Behavior | KSA Summer Suitability |
| UHMWPE (quality grade) | Retains rigidity | Recommended |
| Low-grade recycled plastic | Can soften, deform | Not recommended |
| Timber | Dries, cracks, splits | Short-term only |
Low-grade plastic or timber pads can soften or crack under sustained heat and load. Quality UHMWPE retains structural performance across typical KSA summer temperatures.
