Garden Furniture

Garden Furniture for HoReCa businesses differs from consumer outdoor furniture in its higher durability, more intensive use and frequent cleaning requirements. In a restaurant garden or hotel outdoor area, furniture must withstand daily pressure from various guests, rain and sun, while maintaining an aesthetic appearance. Properly selected garden furniture lasts several seasons without significant wear. BHS offers garden furniture for HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Types of garden furniture

Garden dining sets — a table with 4–6 chairs for outdoor dining and gatherings. The most popular materials for HoReCa gardens are aluminium frames with HPL or ceramic table tops and aluminium or PE rattan chairs. Lounge and relaxation furniture — low sofas, chairs with soft cushions for poolside, relaxation or cocktail areas. Cushions are made from outdoor fabrics that withstand moisture and UV. Bar furniture for gardens — high bistro tables with bar stools for outdoor bar or terrace bar areas. Rocking chairs and hammocks — for hotel garden relaxation areas with a tropical or Scandinavian ambiance. Parasols and shades — an essential element on sunny days, available in central pole and side pole versions, in various sizes and colours. BHS helps create a complete garden furniture set.

Materials and durability

Aluminium — the most common material for HoReCa outdoor furniture, as it does not corrode, is lightweight and resistant to UV. Powder-coated finishes are available in many colours. No oiling or varnishing required. PE rattan — a synthetic rattan imitation, completely waterproof, UV-resistant and requires no seasonal maintenance. Snow and frost resistance is one of the advantages of PE rattan for the climate. Teak — a classic and visually appealing natural wood that naturally withstands moisture and pests. Requires oiling once a year. Suitable for premium hotels and restaurants. Ceramic and granite for table tops — absolutely resistant to UV, scratching, heat and chemicals. BHS offers furniture made from all these materials.

Planning garden areas for HoReCa

An effective HoReCa garden or outdoor terrace area requires careful planning. Leave at least 60 cm between tables for walkways, 80–90 cm for guests with trays. Position parasols to provide shade for tables without obstructing adjacent ones. Separate lounge areas and dining zones to create a clear functional division. Garden lighting at night — lanterns, overhead string lights or ground lamps — enhances the atmosphere and extends operating hours. Ensuring drainage during rain prevents excessive moisture on garden furniture. BHS provides consultation on planning garden areas.

HoReCa usage scenarios

A restaurant with a small courtyard equips a 6–8 table garden dining area with aluminium-HPL tables and PE rattan chairs, increasing capacity by 30–40 guests during the warm season. A hotel garden by the pool features a lounge area with low aluminium sofas, soft cushions and parasols, creating an elegant relaxation space for premium guests. A café with a city garden installs compact bistro tables and bar stools for an outdoor morning coffee zone. A hotel with a large courtyard invests in teak furniture and stone table tops, which retain their attractive appearance for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

How to store garden furniture in winter? Aluminium and PE rattan furniture can be stored outdoors with special furniture covers. Teak furniture is best stored indoors or protected with a cover and oiled before storage. Cushions must be removed and stored in a dry, ventilated space. BHS also offers furniture covers in various sizes.

How long does HoReCa garden furniture last? High-quality aluminium garden furniture with proper care lasts 8–15 years. PE rattan furniture lasts 5–10 years with minimal maintenance. Teak with regular oiling lasts 15–20 years. BHS helps choose the most durable solution based on exposure and usage.
