What Furniture is Most Suitable for Coastal Areas?

Are you needing street furniture for coastal areas and not sure what are the best options? Well, it is a good thing that you have raised the question! Not all street furniture performs well over time in coastal conditions.

Why? Put simply, it is because the salt water and salty air over time corrode certain materials.

So, to answer your question, ‘well what street furniture is suitable?’;

Any street furniture item that is made using a aluminium or stainless steel frame is suitable to withstand the coastal conditions.

Astra offers a range of suitable options that are the perfect fit for schools, parks, councils, apartment complexes, shopping centres, and more, that are located close to the Australian coastlines.

These Australian made options include the London and Madrid seating suites consisting of seats, benches, tables and picnic settings that are made using a cast aluminium frame. The popular Liverpool suite of picnic settings is made using an aluminium tube frame, perfect for areas that require group settings.

The newly introduced suite of aluminium Manchester shelters and stainless steel Venice Drinking Water Fountains are also suitable options when requiring shade and drinking facilities.

If you require wheelie bin enclosures in coastal areas, the Athens Stainless Steel Bin Enclosures are the perfect choice for coastal conditions. Another litter bin option that is important to note are the London Bins with a stainless steel covered top as they have a fully stainless steel frame – another litter bins ideal in coastal locations.

In regard to which slat to choose all slat options for these street furniture items are suitable, although we recommend leaning towards anodised aluminium or wood grain aluminium slats as they will last longer in the harsh conditions. This is also the feedback we receive from most of our clients!

We hope that we have taken the stress out of determining which street furniture items are most suitable for coastal conditions!
