Commercial Outdoor Furniture Kentucky
Kentucky is best known for its Southern hospitality and stunning outdoor attractions. Then, every summer the two combine, with several al fresco restaurants, cafes, pop-up stores, and pool-side decks cropping up across the Bluegrass State.
If you have an outdoor commercial space that’s currently unused, we highly recommend giving it a revamp for the coming season.
A little investment can bring you more customers, increase sales, and allow your guests to get a taste of the summer sunshine. Here’s a guide to picking the right furniture.
Assess Your Space
Before you start placing orders, measure your property. Carefully calculate the total area and then decide how much space you’d like to fill up with furniture. Bear in mind that there has to be enough space to walk around after all pieces are in place.
Based on your assessment, look for furniture that’s both comfortable and compact.
A folding bench, for instance, can be a great temporary spot for guests to wait until they’re seated at a table. Similarly lounge chairs can be a great addition to a hotel lawn during the warmer seasons and stored away for winter.
Tables, chairs, and barstools also come in several shapes and sizes — allowing you to properly account for the space you have. Grosfillex North America’s tables, for example, range from 28 inches to 48 inches wide and can be either circular, square, or rectangular.
Understanding Different Materials
Furniture can be made from several different materials — ranging from plastic to teak. Each has its own pros, cons so the decision ultimately boils down to two factors:
- Durability
- Personal preference
In terms of durability, look for materials that are weather resistant, easy-to-maintain, and structurally sound. Resin, aluminum, and fiberglass are three solid examples.
Similarly, upholstery must be able to withstand a great deal of external pressure and usage. Acrylic fabric is one of the most promising options for outdoor use — not just because it’s sturdy, but because it’s easy to dye, and comes in many patterns and colors.
Beyond that, there’s your personal preference. Would a rustic wooden table suit your decor more than a sleek modern metal? That’s for you to decide. Browse our collections for a better idea of just how many options you have to choose from.
Account for Seasons
Many parts of Kentucky are blessed with a mostly moderate climate — as there aren’t too many prolonged periods of snow, rain, or heavy wind. However, there are certain months that may not be the most ideal for outdoor furniture.
So, let’s think long term. If you need to pack and store your furniture away during the off-season, you may want to consider looking at options that are easy to fold and stack.
Our outdoor stacking chairs, for example, can be a great option for a hotel in Kentucky as they are made with a durable Polypropylene resin that’s easy to maintain — and, most crucially, don’t take up much space when stored for winter or during a rainstorm
Similarly, if your location is subject to strong winds, consider investing in a fixed table and chair over a foldable variant. Then, when the sun’s beating down, and the weather goes up to the mid 80s, it’s worth having furniture made with UV resistant materials.

Setting up an outdoor commercial space can be fulfilling, but also tricky. Without the right set-up, you could end up investing your hard earned money on furniture that is either inappropriate for the weather, or doesn’t match your decor.
