Time to Winter proof your public spaces

Autumn’s here. Leaves are falling, fewer people are out and about, and the morning chill says one thing: prep time. While locals dig out their puffer jackets and retreat into the cosy indoors, it’s the perfect window for councils to give parks and public spaces a seasonal spruce-up. Fewer crowds mean fewer interruptions – and more opportunity to plan, upgrade and future-proof outdoor infrastructure before the spring rush hits.

No spring scramble

Winter brings more than frosty mornings. Wet paths, slippery surfaces and soggy picnic spots can quickly become safety risks. Get ahead now with non-slip pathways, rust-resistant furniture, covered seating areas and easy-care bins that won’t buckle after weeks of rain. A little planning now means safer, more inviting spaces – and no last-minute maintenance blitz when the sun returns.

Quiet season, busy crews

With fewer people in parks and town centres, now’s the time to tackle those jobs that can’t happen during summer. Replace cracked furniture. Retire that creaky bin enclosure. Add long-overdue shelter to a popular picnic spot. Cooler months give your teams the breathing space to do things properly – without dodging foot traffic or closing off areas mid-peak.

Built for weather

Winter’s tough on infrastructure – but aluminium isn’t bothered. Built to resist rust, rot, and endless repainting, aluminium outdoor furniture thrives through sideways rain, mud and moisture. It’s a durable, low-maintenance hero that keeps public spaces functional all year round.

Tried and tested

For weather-resistant, low-fuss outdoor aluminium seating, the Park Setting is the go-to for user-friendly placemaking. With marine-grade anodised finishes, smooth edges for safety, and three size options (including a kid-friendly version), it’s a space-saving staple. It looks great and fits in anywhere – bolt it down and forget about it.

Rain-ready and reliable

Want picnic zones that are usable year-round? Add the 3 x 3 Aluminium Skillion Shelter. With a Colorbond roof and architectural louvre screen, this 9-square-metre shelter keeps things dry, shaded and wind-resistant – all with a modern, minimal aesthetic that suits parks and urban spaces. Engineered for all weather, it pairs perfectly with other outdoor pieces for a reliable year-round setup.

Waste, done well

Think bins, but beautiful. The award-winning Ribbon Bin Enclosure brings good looks and practicality. With a lockable front door, three-sided access, rain cover and architectural styling, it’s designed to handle high use without becoming an eyesore. Built for standard 240L bins, it’s the durable upgrade every busy space needs.

Seasonally better spaces

Don’t wait for spring to roll around. Use autumn and winter to get ahead. Well-prepped spaces mean fewer complaints and safer experiences. Whether it’s shade, seating, or smarter bins, now’s the time to lay the groundwork for happier communities come peak season. Let’s collaborate and find robust, ready-to-roll solutions that make outdoor space management a breeze.
