Steel outdoor picnic tables for schools and parks feature a durability that makes them ideal for any outdoor environment.  Constructed from galvanized steel tubing which by its very nature is rust resistant, tables are further protected by a protective coating of Thermoplastic.  Thermoplastic is an interesting substance, to say the least.  It is extremely powerful in the sense that it is UV resistant, impact resistant, and vandal resistant to scratching and marking.  It is curiously soft to the touch, however, so its toughness does not diminish personal comfort of people using the table.  If it is cut with extreme force, it can be easily resealed by a heat gun.  Thermoplastic comes in a variety of colors that can be matched to any building architecture, campus landscape, or building environment.

There are many functional attributes that make steel outdoor picnic tables for schools and parks ideally suitable for schools of all types.

One of the most important things that elementary school students need is personal safety.  Every piece of equipment on the school grounds, including seating areas, needs to be designed in special ways that prevent exuberant children from injuring themselves.  In fact, some children even see seating areas as a form of playground equipment.  Steel outdoor picnic tables for schools and parks in these environments must therefore be lower to the ground and must have rounded corners and smooth edges to prevent hard falls from the top and injuries that could be caused by impact.

In middle schools, this is not so much a problem.  Children like to sit around and talk in junior high.  They like to sit on the tables themselves as much, if not more, than the seats.  Many models sold by XPB Locker feature unique or extra large table tops that provide a very sturdy surface that kids can sit on to chat.  Seats can be built either in the form of benches or chairs that attach to the table bases.

High school students need steel outdoor picnic tables for schools and parks that have plenty of room to spread out books and papers.  This is because many of them really do care about their studies.  They want to go outside to work on homework, read their textbooks, or setup their laptops.  Ideally, any table on a high school campus, and also on a college campus, will give them plenty of space for food and study materials to be neatly organized around them.

Public outdoor recreational area need steel outdoor picnic tables for schools and parks that will blend with the natural environment.  Tables in past decades were made of wood that naturally blended with grass, shrubs, and trees.   Today’s tables are obviously made of metal and synthetic coating which are not substances we associate with a natural environment.  Nevertheless, this is not a barrier in the case of these tables.  The geometry featured by so many of our models, and the many earth tone colors they can ordered in, allow them to blend with any forest, campground, or municipal park environment just as effectively as their wooden predecessors of the past.
