Outdoor Chairs

Commercial outdoor chairs are essential kit for UK restaurants, pubs, and hotels looking to make the most of their alfresco spaces. Crafted from weather-resistant materials like aluminium, rattan, and treated hardwoods, these chairs stand strong against Britain's famously unpredictable weather. After 50 years kitting out hospitality venues, we've seen how the right outdoor furniture transforms beer gardens and terraces into profit-generating spaces that customers flock to when the sun makes an appearance. These chairs pair brilliantly with outdoor tables and parasols to create inviting dining areas that extend your capacity and boost seasonal revenue—a smart investment for any venue with outdoor potential!

How Commercial Outdoor Chairs Work

Commercial outdoor chairs might seem straightforward, but there's clever engineering behind them. Unlike indoor seating, they're designed with special weather-resistant materials and treatments—think powder-coated aluminium frames that won't rust, UV-stabilised polyrattan that doesn't fade, or specially treated hardwoods that repel moisture. Many feature stackable designs with reinforced joints and legs to handle continuous commercial use. The best ones include drainage holes to prevent water pooling, quick-dry mesh or slatted seats, and weighted bases to prevent tipping in breezy conditions. Some even come with adjustable feet to stay level on uneven paving—perfect for keeping customers steady on British patios!

Safety Guidelines

  • Regular Inspections Check frames and joints weekly—prevents accidents.
  • Secure Stacking Stack no higher than manufacturer recommends—prevents toppling.
  • Weight Limits Respect capacity guidelines—typically 120-150kg commercial rating.
  • Level Placement Use on flat surfaces—avoid wobbling hazards.
  • High Wind Protocol Store or secure during storms—prevents damage and injury.
  • Mind The Gaps Maintain proper spacing between tables—ensure clear customer pathways.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Outdoor Chairs

To maximise the lifespan of your outdoor chairs, establish an end-of-day stacking routine during uncertain weather. Apply furniture covers during prolonged rainy periods or winter months if storage isn't possible. Even weather-resistant furniture benefits from occasional treatment—we recommend cleaning aluminium frames monthly and treating wooden chairs with protective oil twice yearly. Remember to check and tighten fixings regularly as temperature changes can loosen them, and partner with outdoor cushions for added comfort when the sun shines.

Real-World Success with Commercial Outdoor Chairs

The Crown Inn in Devon faced a common challenge—their beer garden was popular in summer, but their domestic-grade chairs couldn't withstand the demands. After purchasing 40 commercial outdoor chairs and matching tables from us, they transformed their space. 'We've stopped replacing chairs every season,' says owner Jack. 'These have survived three British summers without fading or breaking, and our garden capacity has increased our summer revenue by 35%. The chairs still look brilliant alongside our outdoor heaters and parasols—best investment we've made.'
