Concrete Picnic Tables

Creating Positive Outdoor Environments with Commercial Outdoor Furniture

The National Human Activity Pattern Survey estimates that the average American spends 93% of their time indoors. As more and more Americans move to cities, this is hardly surprising, though it might be concerning. After all, studies continue to show a strong correlation between time spent outdoors and good health.

This doesn’t have to be bad news for America’s increasing urban populations, however. It simply means grounds managers, city planners, and even business owners must find creative ways to accommodate outdoor socialising. For instance outdoor furniture like our concrete picnic table can go a long way towards transforming otherwise unused spaces into social environments. Many businesses are adding picnic tables like these to their parking areas and courtyards, simply to provide a way for staff members to enjoy their lunch breaks outdoors. It may not seem like much, but believe it or not, studies show a correlation between even proximity to nature and health.
