At Trent Furniture, we know that having the right outdoor commercial furniture to battle with the unpredictable elements of British weather is a key element of any venue’s furnishings. Selecting the right furniture invites customers to make use of the outdoor areas at your establishment, although, with this summer’s heatwave sweeping the nation, we are sure they needed very little encouragement!
What is Commercial Outdoor Furniture?
Simply put, commercial outdoor furniture relates to furnishings that have been specifically designed and tested for use in business, such as a pub or restaurant, where they will be used regularly or constantly be large volumes of people over long periods of time, outdoors. Typical outdoor furnishing materials include wood, plastic, metal and rattan, and are finished with hard wearing materials to guarantee durability. Although it may be tempting to use domestic furnishing, there are legal fire safety requirements that must be adhered to in commercial environments.

Metal Furniture
Due to its weather resistance properties, metal is considered the most popular choice for use outdoors. The lightweight materials of aluminium and stainless steel make for easy moving as well as easy storage. With little requirement for maintenance, our Alma Aluminium Poseur Table is created with durability in mind.
The Alma Poseur Table has a ‘four claw’ design including adjustable feet to give extra stability on uneven surfaces, such as grass, pavement or patio. Easily paired with the Monaco Aluminium Stacking Chair, a bright and stylish aluminium is practical while offering water resistant finish, suitable for outdoor use. These chairs are exceptionally strong and durable with fully welded joints throughout. Practical and easily stored, our aluminium range makes for hassle free outdoor dining.
Wooden Furniture
A traditional and aesthetically pleasing choice, wooden furniture is a staple in any outdoor pub setting, and our Capra Square Table is designed specifically for outdoor use. The synthetic timber panels are water resistant and treated to reduce staining and fading from outdoor use. Available in either a rounded or square top, both can be combined to create a pleasing outdoor space. Pair with the Monaco Wood Effect Stacking Chair for stylish dining.
Plastic Furniture
Made from durable and water-resistant polypropylene, plastic furniture is perhaps the most versatile of options. Available in a range of different colours, the opportunities for you to customise your outdoor (and indoor) space are endless. Compared to other materials, plastic furniture has typically been seen as the lower budget choice, and to some extent, this remains true. However, the quality we provide at Trent is of the highest standard. Why not check out the Malmo Armchair, available in a contemporary red, white and black. Designed with high arm rests for extra comfort and functionality, the Malmo Armchairs make a stylish addition to any café, bar or restaurant.
Rattan Furniture
A strong, flexible material, Rattan is a close relative of the palm tree. Thanks to the weave pattern, furniture created from this material is comfortable, without the need for cushions. The Plaza range, one of the newer and most exciting additions to our collection, the attractive black finish will transform any outdoor space. The durable synthetic rattan is hand woven over a rust-resistant aluminium frame. However, they look equally as effective indoors and are becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility and value for money. As it is lightweight, storage is easy and the UV and water-resistant coating ensures longevity, whatever the weather.
