Commercial Picnic Tables

When it comes to outdoor furniture, commercial picnic tables are some of the most popular options for outdoor spaces. National Outdoor Furniture offers a great selection of commercial picnic tables perfect for any outdoor setting. Whether you're looking for a table that seats eight, one that can accommodate up to 12 people or an ADA-compliant picnic table, you'll find it here. 

We also offer recycled plastic picnic tables that are built to last and are easy to maintain. No matter what type of picnic table you're looking for, National Outdoor Furniture has the perfect solution.

Shapes and Sizes

Picnic tables come in many sizes and forms and shapes, including rectangular, square, circular, hexagonal and octagonal options. Aim for about 24 inches of linear space per person at the table. A round, square or octagonal commercial picnic table may accommodate eight people. Six people typically sit around hexagonal tables. The biggest tables seat eight to 12 people and are rectangular.. 

While deciding on the size and style of tables, consider your rationale for buying them. If your workplace or commercial building attracts groups of different sizes, tables of various sizes are ideal.

Temperature

Before deciding on an outdoor picnic table, consider your local climate. Light colors are beneficial in hot weather because they reflect the sun and remain cool. If airflow is a concern, perforated coated steel is a good option as it allows for ventilation. Aluminum and concrete are also ideal for the summertime.

Investing in a picnic table umbrella to provide shade for each outdoor table is another option to keep your tables cool and comfortable.

Materials

Numerous materials are available for your selection when choosing a picnic table. Metal options can include aluminum, galvanized steel, powder-coated steel and thermoplastic steel, while more environmentally friendly options consist of recycled plastic, concrete and natural wood. Weigh the pros and cons of each before committing to one material.

Weather Protection

Outdoor picnic tables endure all types of weather, such as heat, rain and snow. Metals with thermoplastic coatings are the most resilient and weather-resistant materials. If you still prefer a wood or metal table with a non-thermoplastic coat, look for one that folds and can be kept in storage all winter.

Installation

Consider the many installation choices before choosing a picnic table. Commercial tables might have one pedestal base, individual leg bases or base supports for the frame.

Tables have three mounting options: in-ground mount, surface mount and portable.

• In-ground mounts are ideal if you intend to keep your tables in one location.
• If you want to set up the picnic table on a concrete surface, surface-mounted picnic tables are still safe. Surface mount clamps can still anchor moveable tables to the ground.

Portable tables are suitable if you don't want to keep the tables in one location and are less worried about theft. 

Commercial Patio Tables

There's nothing like getting together with loved ones outside. Whether you own a hotel chain and are looking for a comfortable space for your guests to enjoy or a restaurant looking for durable furniture that lasts, having patio furniture that performs well is crucial in making your outside area come to life. 

All too often, establishments neglect the use of their outdoor spaces. This results in wasted opportunities and guest disappointment, as most people enjoy relaxing outside on a warm and sunny day. That's why it pays to go the extra mile with commercial patio tables. 

While it can be tempting to purchase a couple of patio tables from your local stores, this type of furniture usually isn't built to last or sustain lots of wear and tear. On the other hand, commercial patio furniture is specifically built to endure lots of use and withstand the elements. 

Commercial patio furniture is easier to clean and maintain than standard furniture you buy at a local store. This type of furniture is built to last for a long period of time, making it a solid investment in transforming the outside space of your hotel, restaurant or resort. 

But what types of commercial patio tables are suitable for different industries? Stick around for everything you need to know. 

Commercial Patio Tables & Chairs

The great thing about commercial patio tables and chairs is that they come in various sizes, styles and finishes. Depending on your requirements and the look and feel of your establishment, you can choose patio tables that match your overall aesthetic. While some companies prefer to purchase commercial patio tables with attached seats for ease, others prefer furniture that's designed to be flexible with movable chairs. No matter what your preference is, we have patio tables for you. 

Seat Material

The first thing you need to ask yourself before purchasing commercial patio tables is the level of upkeep you're willing to commit to. Some establishments prefer furniture that you "set and forget," while others have the bandwidth for extra cleaning and maintenance throughout. 

While all of our patio tables are designed for outdoor use, they come in a wide variety of materials depending on your style preference. 

Some of our patio furniture is made with heavy-duty polyethylene, making it an ideal choice for withstanding rain and heavy wind. While this seating isn't necessarily considered overly comfortable, it requires minimal upkeep and lasts the test of time. 

We also offer comfortable seating choices, such as commmercial Sunset Sling Furniture. These are classic options for restaurants and hotels looking for seating that looks great and is easy to maintain. This type of seating is comfortable and looks great with a wide variety of tables. 

Frame Material

Our commercial patio tables come equipped with different types of frames. These frames are designed to look great and hold up against harsh weather conditions. This ensures that you don't have to worry about common issues such as corrosion or rust, which are commonly found with standard patio furniture. 

Our patio tables come with fiberglass, molded melamine, heavy-duty polyethylene and more. This means you get to pick between more sophisticated tables suitable for an up-scale restaurant or something more relaxed and easygoing for resorts looking to add to their outdoor space. 

Seating Capacity

There's nothing worse than making your guests squeeze in around a patio table. Patio tables should be comfortable and welcoming and offer enough space to welcome everyone. 

It can be a good idea to purchase patio tables of different sizes to ensure you can accommodate different types of parties. While smaller tables are great for couples looking to relax outside, larger tables encourage bigger parties, such as families and large get-togethers. While it can be tempting to cram everyone in, it's always best to choose patio tables that suit your seating capacity needs. 

Frame Size

Before purchasing commercial patio furniture, measuring up your outdoor space is important so you know exactly how much space you're working with. Our patio tables come in different frame sizes, with some being quite large and durable and others being small and discrete. Make sure you leave enough space between tables to give people privacy and allow for movement. 

Warranty

Unlike other outdoor furniture, our commercial patio tables are all commercial grade and include a manufacturer warranty. This gives you the peace of mind of knowing your investment will last.
