As the demand for al fresco dining continues to grow, investing in outdoor commercial furniture is essential. From sunny brunches to evening cocktails, outdoor spaces can dramatically increase footfall and revenue. But to make it work, you need outdoor furniture that’s stylish, durable, and built for high-traffic environments.
Whether you run a hotel courtyard, a pavement café, or a rooftop bar, JB Commercial Furniture offers a wide range of outdoor commercial furniture designed specifically for hospitality venues. Let’s explore what makes a great outdoor setup and which pieces are worth adding to your space.
Why Outdoor Commercial Furniture Matters
Unlike domestic garden sets, commercial-grade outdoor furniture is built to withstand constant use, unpredictable weather, and regular cleaning. More importantly, it’s designed with the hospitality industry in mind – easy to clean, quick to store, and comfortable enough to keep guests coming back.
The right layout and furniture choices can help:
- Maximise coverage in a limited space
- Boost kerb appeal and draw in foot traffic
- Create an inviting atmosphere that reflects your brand
- Extend your opening hours, especially in spring and summer
What to Look For in Outdoor Commercial Furniture
When choosing outdoor commercial furniture, keep these essential factors in mind:
1. Durability in All Weather Conditions
Outdoor furniture must be able to handle rain, sun, wind and wear. Look for materials like:
- Aluminium – Lightweight, rust-resistant, and long-lasting
- High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) – Ideal for table tops; heat and scratch resistant
- Synthetic Rattan – Offers the look of wicker with added durability
- Werzalit – A popular commercial choice for its weatherproof, hygienic finish
2. Easy Storage and Stackability
For venues that require quick furniture packing or frequent layout changes, stackable chairs and folding tables are essential. These help save storage space and speed up service.
Top Pick:
Hawser Stacking All Weather Chair with seat cushion and rope backrest
A lightweight yet robust design that stacks neatly, perfect for cafés, pubs, and patios.
3. Comfort Meets Practicality
While durability is key, don’t forget comfort. Guests are more likely to linger (and order more) if the seating feels supportive and stylish.

Made with galvanised steel and PE rattan, this chair combines the charm of woven textures with modern, stackable practicality.
4. Style That Matches Your Brand
From minimalist city terraces to rustic country pub gardens, your furniture should reflect the style and personality of your venue.

5. Tables That Work as Hard as You Do
In outdoor commercial spaces, tables need to be stable, weatherproof, and the right size for both diners and servers to move around easily.

Unify Square All-Weather Dining Table
This Werzalit topped table is tough, modern, and ideal for both casual cafés and high-end hotel terraces.

Outdoor commercial furniture doesn’t stop at tables and chairs. To keep guests comfortable and extend your outdoor season, consider:
- Parasols for shade
- Planters and dividers to help define space and create atmosphere
