Hilltop Series products from Norix Group Inc. have been outdoor tested in the extremes of icy winters to the intense heat of the Southwest to the salt air of the oceans. The machine-perforated 14-gauge steel tops and seats have a smooth UV-stabilized vinyl coating bonded to the steel that is impervious to both bad weather and rough use.
