Picnic tables feature specialized designs that allow for additional seating, comfort, or accessibility. Many also have umbrella holes that allow you to mount sun umbrellas in the center of the table and provide guests with shade regardless of the position of the table. Different seat designs provide either optimal comfort or additional seating area for larger parties of people. Special materials also help curb vandalism, wear and tear, and deterioration from the weather.
Special Lines for Children
One thing facilities often need is special seating for children. Children are often very active and do not like to stay seated for very long. Larger picnic tables are not recommended for this reason because they are too high off the ground. Children can enjoy themselves in a safer setting if seated at a table that is lower to the ground and that is built with rounded edges on all sides that minimize the risk of serious injury if kids become restless.
XPB Locker Supply has fiberglass and plastic coated metal tables available in children’s sizes. Fiberglass tables offer facilities the advantage of light weight portability and can be used inside or outside. Plastic coated tables offer the advantage of permanent mounting and theft resistance in larger outdoor arenas.
When Vandal Resistance is Necessary
Some facilities suffer from frequent vandalism. These organizations need picnic tables that are built with to be extra durable so that they can withstand deliberate attacks. While all Thermoplastic coated tables are vandal resistant to some degree, the most vandal resistant models are those that are made from recycled plastic. Plated steel hardware is molded directly to the table top and bench seats. This creates a surface that is so impervious to intentional damage that it is backed by a 25 year warranty.
Extra Seating and Leg Room
Large outdoor areas and public events typically attract very large crowds. Tables in these areas should offer additional seating area to accommodate larger groups of people. Some tables measure as long as 12 feet. Others are built free standing so that chairs can be pulled up to the sides and to either end. Tables of this size can be purchased in both metal and wooden builds.
In other situations, people require additional leg room when sitting at the table. Persons with disabilities can be accommodated with tables that are built to ADA specifications. Elderly persons can also be accommodated with picnic tables that have no obstructions beneath the table top. Two primary designs offer this amenity. One is a frame design that has supports only on either end of the table so that the sides and middle areas are free of obstructions. The other design is a rectangular table mounted on a single post that has plenty of leg room underneath either end of the table top.
Private Conversation
Smaller round tables are ideal for smaller groups and families that want to gather together and talk privately. Most tables are built for groups of four persons, although there is a larger model available for 6 persons. Many feature umbrella holes so groups can talk in the shade. The most comfortable picnic tables are those that have built-in chairs with backrests.
