Why April is prime time for outdoor furniture upgrades

As the temps drop and the days get shorter (bye-bye daylight savings), the peak comings and goings in outdoor spaces start to decrease.

With the Easter and school holidays, people are planning getaways, meaning less foot traffic in local areas. For your park, school or businesses, this crunchy-leaf season is the ideal time to assess and upgrade your outdoor spaces.

Investing in high-quality, durable furniture ensures comfort and usability year-round, so make the most of this quieter period to maintain and improve your outdoor assets.

Why now?

Seize this time of year to refresh your outdoor spaces, minus the disruptive peak summer activity. While the leaves are falling, take the time to inspect your existing seating for wear and tear, replace outdated furniture, and invest in weather-resistant solutions. Addressing these needs now means your spaces will survive the cold months and have fewer issues when the busier spring season starts.

Furniture for longevity

Not all outdoor furniture is created equal. Public spaces need tough, element-enduring pieces that retain comfort and visual appeal. Outdoor furniture that’s purpose-designed for the Australian climate is a long-term investment if you’re looking for reliability and style.

The Above Ground Bench Seat with Backrest offers strong, durable aluminium construction with added back support for user comfort. It’s a practical solution for busy spaces needing robust seating options.

The 4-sided Pedestal Park Setting is a fantastic option. This setting is designed for social interaction, comfortably seating up to eight people, making it ideal for schools, picnic areas, and workplace outdoor spaces. Its sturdy, weather-resistant materials and space-saving design ensure longevity and functionality.

5 steps to upgrade spaces

  1. Take stock: have a look at your current outdoor furniture. Are there any damaged or outdated pieces that need replacing?
  2. Material thing: if your existing furniture is weather-beaten, prioritise weather-resistant materials. Marine-grade aluminium or powder-coated finishes can withstand harsh conditions.
  3. Choose comfort: outdoor furniture doesn’t have to be punishing to use. Choose designs with rounded edges and ergonomic support to enhance the experience.
  4. Maximise space: efficient designs like the pedestal park setting accommodate more people while maintaining ease of movement.
  5. Future proof: invest in durable, high-quality furniture for fewer maintenance issues and long-term value.

Seasonal success

With winter on the horizon, now is the time to enhance your outdoor spaces with reliable, high-quality outdoor furniture. Whether upgrading a park, schoolyard, or business courtyard, durable furniture ensures that these areas are inviting and functional throughout the year. It takes minimum planning in autumn to realise long-term improvements that will benefit your community for years.

Autumn upgrade

Now is the time to upgrade your outdoor spaces to keep your furniture comfy, functional, and inviting when the colder months set in. Let’s collaborate and find high-quality, durable solutions that dress up your space and lean into a long-term investment.
