Aluminum Picnic Tables, like these at the Galaxy Cafe in Austin, TX, have several advantages when it comes to outdoor seating at restaurants
Aluminum Picnic Tables offer tremendous versatility for outdoor dining at restaurants for several reasons.
That's why the Galaxy Café restaurant chain recently added a dozen aluminum picnic tables from The Park and Facilities Catalog to their Austin location.
The Galaxy Cafes have the look and feel of a fun neighborhood restaurant.
In fact, in a statement on their website, they write:
"If you opened your own restaurant, wouldn't you?
- Open in in your HOMETOWN and your own NEIGHBORHOOD
- Serve BREAKFAST 'til 4 p.m. on weekends
- Always choose QUALITY over price
- Only serve ALL NATURAL, free range, hormone & antibiotic free beef, chicken and eggs
- Buy fresh bread, coffee, produce, and beef from LOCALLY OWNED businesses
- Use BIODEGRADEABLE compostable to-go packaging
- Recycle used vegetable oil into BIODIESEL
- Commit to running the CLEANEST restaurant in town
All you need to do is read that statement and you know this company is COMMITTED to providing great customer dining experiences.
Aluminum Picnic Tables offer versatility and durability
According to Kelly Chappell, with the interesting title of "Intergalactic Productions," they decided to add the aluminum picnic tables for several reasons.
They were:
- Clean look and design
- Durability
- Light in weight
- Able to move to accommodate large parties
- Easy maintenance
- Ability to withstand the outdoor elements - sun, rain, cold, etc.
Frankly, we couldn't have described these attributes better.
"We love them (the aluminum picnic tables)," Kelly said. "And plan to replace our older tables at our other locations with this style."
Aluminum is an amazing material. Many people don't know this, but it is the third most abundant element on Planet Earth, after oxygen and silicon.
This metal is incredible because it is super-strong, yet super-lightweight. In addition, aluminum is able to resist corrosion which is a big plus for any metal.
Aluminum is also uniform in quality, non-combustible, non-toxic, easy to fabricate, precision-oriented and because it is so prevalent, cost-effective to use in production of items.
And it's attractive. The silver surface always displays a clean, consistent appearance.
In this day of sustainability, there's another big advantage - this super metal is 100% recyclable.
To accommodate handicapped customers, the Galaxy Café also ordered two ADA-designed aluminum picnic tables that can easily accommodate a wheelchair.
Park Catalog offers high-quality aluminum products from bleachers to tables and benches
When it comes to aluminum picnic tables, we have been in the business of creating aluminum products for the past 25 years.
We use the same dedication to quality as we do with our aluminum bleachers which we fabricate in a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in Florida.
That means our tables are made with best in commercial-grade aluminum.
The thick-walled seat and table planks are covered with a clear anodic coating that makes them easy to clean and weather-resistant.
For many years, the anodized finish of the seat plank won't blister, crack, peel or flake due to weather, temperature changes or exposure to the rain and snow.
Since these aluminum picnic tables are meant to be outdoors all day, they are exposed to the powerful UV rays of the sun. If you've ever seen an old, untreated wooden picnic table, then you know how those intense rays can break down and destroy most materials.
That's not the case with aluminum.
The portability of aluminum picnic tables is a big factor for any park or facility. Sometimes tables need to be moved. A lightweight aluminum picnic table is certainly easier to relocate than say a concrete picnic table (hint: you need a forklift).
There are times when you have large groups and need to combine tables. Or a group needs to sit over here. Or maybe over there.
(One note: be sure to lock up these aluminum picnic tables if they are in an area that is easy to access. Because they are light, they can be stolen. Plus, thieves know there is a market for aluminum scrap at recycling plants. Another option is to mark the aluminum and if they go missing, be sure to check with your local recycling facilities).
Bottom line: it's hard to go wrong with aluminum picnic tables. They are attractive, easy to clean and super easy to move around…and they will last a very long time.
If you ever get a chance to visit one of the Galaxy Cafes in Auston, order something interesting from their friendly menu.
Perhaps a Magnolia Buddha Bowl or Grilled Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce.
Then admire their shiny new aluminum picnic tables as you sit in the shade, under a canopy, in a very pleasant and clean outdoor setting.
Note: We have top-grade aluminum picnic tables in stock that can be quick-shipped out of our warehouse in just 3 days, so call us if you are in a rush.
