Outdoor furniture is an important aspect for any hospitality property. Some guests may be looking to spend time outside especially during the warmer months when the weather is nicer. Outdoor furniture that is newer could look more inviting to guests and make them want to spend more time out there. Outdoor furniture can get damaged, moldy, and dirty if left outside during inclement weather too often, so it is important that you take good care of this furniture to keep it lasting longer. This blog will explain the three ways for determining what outdoor furniture may work best for your property.
1. Materials
Again, this is a juggling act, where you’ll need to consider durability, versatility, and comfort. Among the more popular materials for outdoor furniture for restaurants and hotels are wood, metal, and rattan.
Wood is and easy to clean, typically weather resistant, and denser wood such as teak can resist rot and decay. Wood furniture can also be quite beautiful when its well-maintained.
Rattan’s tight weaves make it extra-comfortable, but you’ll want to make sure it’s protected from the elements with a patio umbrella.
Aluminum offers you a lightweight furniture choice that’s easy to arrange and rearrange. And cast aluminum resists rust, allowing you to use it in any climate.
2. Size and Space
Not every table will work in every space. Your outdoor dining tables need to make room for all your guests, while leaving enough room for diners and employees to move around.
If you have a smaller patio or deck, you may want to consider a bistro-style dining set – one table, two chairs. Rounded tables are also an option, as they can fit more people. If you have a more expansive outdoor space, you can go with a large rectangular table.
3. Table Tops
Wooden table tops require the least work, as they can be wiped clean with some mild soap. Metal can be even easier to clean, but metal tables can become uncomfortably hot after some time in the sun, so keep them in the shade, or under a patio umbrella.
Glass tabletops are pretty and easy to clean, but also fragile, so use them in covered areas, and move them indoors during colder months.
