Site furnishings take a lot of abuse from the weather as well as from people, which means it’s crucial to choose heavy-duty products made to stand strong over the long term.
Weather Impact
From the heavy rains and high humidity of summertime to the strong winds and snow loads of winter—not to mention unique environmental impacts like salty sea air and sand—Mother Nature can present a major challenge for site furnishings. Exposed metal can rust and corrode. Lighter products can blow away. Wooden products can see insect damage and corrosion.
When you select durable, heavy-duty outdoor amenities designed to withstand the weather, you’ll eliminate all of these problems. Look for furnishings coated with thick, UV-stable and mold-resistant polyvinyl with no exposed metal to ensure your furnishings will not chip or rust.
Snow can present a big challenge, and many parks and other sites choose to remove their wooden furnishings over the winter to protect them from snow loads and winds. But when you choose strong, durable furnishings strong enough to handle heavy loads and coated to resist weather impacts, you’ll be able to leave your furnishings out all winter long. Not only will this save time for your staff, but park visitors will still have a place to sit and enjoy the site during warmer spells.
Made to Last
Coated steel furnishings offer a durable, heavy-duty choice that will last through four seasons of weather, and will also bear heavy use and even abuse from park visitors. Steel is strong and heavy enough to stay put in strong winds, while a UV-stable plastisol coating will protect the furnishings from heavy rains and humidity, as well as sand and salty air, preventing rust and corrosion.
You can gauge the durability of your furnishings by asking about the products’ warranty. Five- to 10-year warranties are typical for park furnishings, but longer warranties demonstrate manufacturers’ confidence in their products. You can find park furnishings that are guaranteed to last up to 20 years, which will save time and money as you’ll get much more use from your amenities before the time comes to replace them.
