When you are looking at outdoor bar furniture for your restaurant, sports bar, country club or resort, remember this not only has to look good, but it also has to provide a functional bar area. For instance, you need to make sure there is enough serving space for your staff to get the job done. You also may want to look for some extras like a wine rack, drawers to put napkins and other items away or shelves for your tumbles. If you really want to go all out, some outdoor bars have refrigerators and lighting worked into them so you can always be open for business, day or night.
Below are a few things you will need to make a decision on as you purchase the outdoor bar furniture for your business:
Wrought Iron Material
Wrought iron makes good outdoor bar furniture material as it is the purest form of iron and is corrosion resistant. More over wrought iron can be twisted and bended to make any complex, elegant, eye-catching designs. Wrought iron outdoor bar furniture designs are mostly influenced by European style. If you are planning to have wrought iron furniture for your facility, you can go for antique designs which are rich in appearance and classic in taste or a more modern or contemporary look. You can let your imagination and creative thinking run wild to choose the most suitable wrought iron furniture for your facility.
Metal Material
One very important thing to remember when buying metal outdoor bar stools for a commercial setting is to check how the stool has been made. Cheaper metal barstools tend to be held together with screws, where the higher quality stools will be welded for strength that can endure just about any conditions. The problem with screws is that over time with pressure being put on them causes the holes to get larger and they are not as stable.
Finishes
Powder coating is a process by which selected items are coated with a fine powder of ground resin and pigment, which is basically ground up paint particles that form a powder-like substance. The items being coated are placed on a rack, which grounds the items. A gun is used to spray the powder onto the items. A large oven is then used to heat and cure the coating. Temperatures used to cure the items typically are between 400 and 450 degrees. Heating the items makes the pigments melt, gel, and then cure to form a durable finish. The finished product is a uniform coating. Powder coating can be used on steel, zinc, and aluminum as well as other materials. The quality of the finished product has the ability to outlast and outperform painted parts. A variety of up to a few hundred different colors are available to choose from. It also exceeds paint in resisting acids, solvents, impact, and abrasions.
Space Requirements
Because the proper placement and location of your outdoor bar furniture can be so important, it is wise to take a good look at the space that you have to work with. You will want to make sure that you have enough room for your staff to move around safely and your customers are a comfortable space away from other tables.
Climate
Also consider the kind of weather you live in. If you get a lot of rain, you want something with heavy waterproofing or at least light enough to carry indoors. Avoid aluminum if you get really hot summers. Aluminum tends to retain heat, so you may have to wait a while for it to cool down enough to be used again.
