Outdoor Dining in Mining

Outdoor Dining in Mining

Mining villages are home to FIFO workers, but often, these villages are anything but homely and can feel quite cold. Outdoor furniture is pivotal in fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging interaction, transforming dull, institutional spaces into vibrant community hubs.

Eat outside

Alfresco dining, meaning ‘in the fresh air,’ is a staple in mining villages. It creates relaxed outdoor settings that bring people together to enjoy meals and company. Open-air eating offers numerous physiological, psychological, and emotional health benefits, fostering connection and wellbeing in a post-COVID world. Mealtime outdoors boosts Vitamin D, reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and improves mood. Fresh air is the perfect accompaniment for a nice meal.

Multi-functional flexibility

Multipurpose furniture offers versatile solutions; people feel more at home if they can eat how and where they feel most comfortable. Flexibility maximises space and keeps it dynamic, accommodating everything from casual lunches to spontaneous meetings. Having high and low seating options allows workers to use outdoor spaces in various ways. Felton’s portable bench seating provides the perfect flexible seating solution, helping everyone feel at home.

Pop of Colour

Outdoor furniture doesn’t have to be bland and neutral. Add bold, custom colours through powder coating to make your pieces stand out. Felton’s range of six statement options – red, blue, green, purple, yellow, and orange – infuse personality and flair into your outdoor dining settings. Colour the legs and endcaps, and select from two or three different finishes for a truly unique look.

Engineered for elements

Your outdoor furniture must endure the elements and look good doing it. Our premium Australian aluminium furniture sets new industry standards with its robust structural integrity and sophisticated design. We make our pieces with 20% more aluminium than competitors, so they’re stronger, safer, and crafted to withstand Australia’s harsh environment without compromising aesthetics.

Practical comfort

Create inviting outdoor dining areas that blend homely comfort with the essence of being outdoors. Enhance the experience with natural elements like sunshine and views, and add ambience with outdoor lighting and sound systems for relaxed entertainment. With rounded edges, Felton’s Plastic Safety End Cap ensures safety, fitting securely and preventing sharp corner bumps. Our easy-to-clean furniture handles spills and is ideal for active dining spaces, heavy usage and high traffic.

Your dining partner

The Felton Advantage delivers low maintenance, premium materials and a 7-year warranty on materials and labour. With some creativity and focus on comfort and versatility, foster a dining space where people want to gather, share a meal and unwind. Let’s collaborate to tailor the perfect configuration for your dining space.
