Rugged Plastic Coated Metal Benches, Picnic Tables and Receptacles

Rugged Plastic Coated Metal Benches, Picnic Tables and Receptacles are made from the latest technology and combine both durability and attractiveness. This outdoor furniture is constructed of high strength steel and coated with a high performance thermoplastic coating. One of the design features is expanded metal tops and seats that are supported by steel tube frames. Another common feature of these benches, tables, and receptacles is that the rounded corners are reinforced with extra steel to keep the frame edges straight and attractive over the years. These steel tubes are usually 2 to 2 3/8 inches in diameter and create very strong and durable outdoor tables, benches, and receptacles. All of this commercial furniture is highly resistant to corrosion and virtually maintenance-free.

Plastic Coated Metal Benches, Picnic Tables and Receptacles are available in a wide range of colors, sizes and designs. Generally table and bench lengths range from four feet to ten feet and gives the customer great flexibility when ordering for a particular location. There are also numerous color options available for the customer and most manufacturers usually include black, blue, brown, green, hunter green, red, yellow, and gray.

The thermoplastic coating applied to the latest generation of Plastic Coated Metal Benches, Picnic Tables and Receptacles is thicker and more durable than earlier versions of powder coating. Although both processes are designed to provide a corrosion resistant and maintenance-free protective covering, the newest thermoplastic coatings can be up to thirty times the thickness of powder coatings. The thermoplastic coatings will not warp, crack, or peel and have been infused with ultraviolet stabilizers to resist color fade in the sun. These coatings are also mold and mildew resistant – excellent qualities for outdoor furniture. In addition, manufacturers are now offering various choices for the thermoplastic finish and include such names as “Matte Polyethylene” and “Plastisol.” Generally, the area of highest use, the tops and seats of tables and benches, are given a thermoplastic coating. Areas of less contact or use, such as table and bench legs, will generally only be covered with a powder coating to economize.

Plastic Coated Metal Benches, Picnic Tables and Receptacles usually offer a choice of mounting options. Most models offer four legs for maximum support and the most common mounting options are portable, surface, and in-ground, mount. Portable mounting is simply placing the furniture in a location without any attachments to the ground or floor. It is frequently used when theft is not a concern and when the furniture is moved on a regular basis. Surface mounting is frequently used on a flat hard surface such as tile or concrete. Mounting holes must be drilled into the tile and/or concrete for the installation of mounting hardware. The furniture that will be surface mounted would have been ordered with this mounting method in mind and will have mounting brackets attached to or as part of the legs. The legs can then be bolted to the mounting hardware in the concrete. In-ground mounting is popular for outdoor locations on grass or dirt. Usually holes are dug into the ground and concrete is poured into the holes. The furniture will have leg extensions that will be placed in the wet concrete. Once the concrete has cured then the furniture is permanently located and very, very difficult to dig up and steal. Some manufacturers offer powder-coated grout covers for a more finished look at ground installation points.
