Furnishing the Great Outdoors
Since the COVID lockdowns of 2020 we have found ourselves spending more time in the great outdoors. Many businesses, particularly in the restaurant industry, were forced to move operations outside. The rise of outdoor dining has encouraged people to literally think outside the box and create inviting environments for patrons to enjoy their meals.
This trend shouldn’t just be limited to dining establishments, taking your business outside can be beneficial to the health and productivity of employees as we explored in a previous blog entry, Inside Out: Creating Outdoor Workplaces from 2019. Little did we know when writing that blog how drastically businesses would be required to adapt to a new way of working.
While we may be right in the middle of winter, now is the time to start planning your outdoor spaces to have them ready for summer enjoyment.
Why Purchase Outdoor Furniture from a Contract Dealer?
Choosing the proper furniture is very important. We can help you choose the furniture that will be a proper fit for the required applications of your outdoor environment.
Steer clear of outdoor residential furniture that may not last a year left out in the elements. Select sturdy commercial grade furniture that is resistant to rust and damage from UV rays. Select light colored finishes to help reflect the heat.
Keep in mind the weight of the furniture so that is not too light that it will be swept away in the first storm. Consider furniture that can bolted to the ground so it doesn’t blow away or walk away by theft. While use of metal based furniture will help prevent wind damage, make sure it has a coat or finish that will not retain heat from the sun and cause burns when people sit on it.
Whether you are a restaurant owner, office manager, HOA/property management, or just looking for quality outdoor furniture as you spend more time hosting house guests outside we have a variety options to fit your every need. From the design process to installation, we are there to assist with every step of your project to hep bring you vision to life.
