When it comes to making your outdoor seating area ‘summer ready’, investing in new commercial outdoor furniture may seem like the best way to create an inviting and comfortable space for your customers. However, purchasing some accessories such as parasols, lighting, heaters, planters, or smarter litter bins, is often a more budget-friendly and simpler but effective way to make a big difference.
The simple transformation of your outdoor seating area with accessories, will not only make you happy, but it will create a memorable dining experience that your customers will want to come back for time and time again.
Perfect Shade
Customers may hesitate to sit outside if there’s no obvious form of comfort or shade, especially in the hot summer evenings. This is why a well-placed parasol can be a total game changer when it comes to outdoor dining in the summer.
You’ll also find parasols useful with the ever-changing British weather! They’re great for protection from sudden unexpected rain showers and will enable customers to continue enjoying their meal and drinks without having to rush inside to avoid getting wet.
Woodberry parasols come in a variety of sizes and colours to compliment your branding. Why not browse the range and contact our friendly team if you have any questions.
Don’t forget the security and safety of parasols – it’s important that they are secured correctly and safely so no one gets injured. Check out the wide range of bases we have in stock and let us know if you need any help choosing the right one for you.
Turn The Lights Down Low
Whilst summer evenings are longer and the sun doesn’t set until later, this isn’t the case in other seasons. So you want to make sure there’s enough lighting to attract customers to sit outside.
The lighting of your outdoor seating area can make a huge difference to your customers’ experience.
Adding a few smaller lights can make a huge difference. The Woodberry Festoon Lighting will transform the ambience of your pub garden or outdoor dining area to give it a romantic and mystical feel that is synonymous with outdoor summer dining.
Our Festoon lighting comes in 2 colours – white and multi-coloured. These come in lengths of 4.75m, each with 20 lights, and can be joined together to create longer lengths for larger areas such as gazebos, pergolas or along permimeter fences. The weatherproof plastic bulbs mean you won’t have to worry about taking the lights down in unpredictable weather.
Keep The Temperature Up As The Sun Goes Down
Adding some patio heaters to your dining pods or gazebos will not only keep customers warm as the sun goes down, but will also make it more attractive for customers of all ages to enjoy the outdoor dining experience at your venue.
The Woodberry Commercial Patio Heaters are great because they can be used all year round to extend the use of your outdoor seating area during colder seasons.
Pretty Planters
Adding a few planters around your seating areas can be a great way to add colour and texture.
Placing planters between seating areas can create more intimate and private dining areas for customers. They are also great for using as barriers for roadside dining.
The Woodberry planters come in various materials and colours meaning you can choose something to blend in with your branding and current aesthetics of your commercial outdoor furniture.
They are specifically sourced for commercial use and are very robust, meaning they are perfect for public areas with heavy footfall.
Once in place, these robust planters won’t be easily moved, giving you the assurance they will stand up to the weather, and they won’t be moved off site.
Take Care Of The Waste
Investing in bins is crucial for maintaining a clean and tidy outdoor seating area that customers want to return to. By providing plenty of bins throughout the outdoor seating area and emptying them regularly, you can create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for customers.
Our Estate Litter Bins are becoming increasingly popular across all types of venues. They’re built to withstand heavy use, with a high level of functionality making it easy for your staff to keep them emptied and looking smart.
We also offer a Recycled Plastic Litter Bin which is perfect for public places, tourist attractions and national reserves.
All our bins can be secured to the ground, making them ideal for locations with heavy footfall, and giving you the reassurance they won’t be moved around your venue or taken offsite.
