PICNIC TABLES

Benefits of picnic tables for schools

One of the most crucial roles that picnic tables play in a school setting is fostering social interaction. During break times or outdoor activities, students naturally gather around picnic tables to talk, eat, and engage with each other. These interactions are critical in developing social skills.

Another benefit that picnic tables bring to schools is that they give teachers and students the opportunity to conduct lessons outdoors. They provide the perfect setting for group work, discussions, and hands-on activities in subjects like science, art, and even math.

By creating a comfortable, structured seating arrangement outdoors, teachers can easily conduct lessons in a more stimulating and fresh environment. The change in scenery can make learning feel less formal and more engaging, helping students to absorb information more effectively.

Picnic table options

Junior Picnic Bench

The Junior Picnic Bench is a popular option for primary schools up and down the UK. Not only is it a robust bench that is crafted from steel and galvanised to ensure it has excellent protection from the elements and daily use, but it is available in a wide range of options.

You can specify your bench in a variety of colours and designs, talk to our team here at AMV Playgrounds for more information.

Steel Buddy Bench

The Steel Buddy Bench is a stylish, practical and robust seating option for primary and secondary schools.

It is a steel framed option that is powder coated, meaning it is highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and the elements, making it an ideal choice for any playground.

Different sizes are available to allow for wheelchair users as well as a range of colour options. The slatted design promotes rainwater runoff which means that the seating will dry quickly after rain.

Plateau O Picnic Table

The Plateau O Picnic Table is a stylish and robust seating option that has integrated seating all around the table.

It features a simple yet striking Scandinavian design where seating allows for children and teachers to sit around and face each other.

Manufactured from durable materials such as high pressure laminate and steel (available in powder coated or galvanised options), this means it will resist daily wear and tear as well as exposure to the elements, standing the test of time. And not only that, it requires little or no maintenance other than soap and water.

Picnic tables for your school

When selecting picnic tables, as well as other playground furniture options, for schools, headteachers and purchasing managers often face specific concerns. These typically revolve around the longevity and maintenance of outdoor furniture, ensuring student safety, and working within limited budgets.

Here at AMV Playgrounds we understand your concerns and have worked with schools and other educational establishments for over 30 years.

One of the most significant concerns for schools is ensuring that their outdoor furniture can withstand daily use and harsh weather conditions without constant upkeep. Schools need picnic tables that not only look good but are also durable enough to endure high traffic from students and exposure to the elements throughout the year.

You can be assured our picnic tables are manufactured from weather-resistant and durable materials such as recycled plastic, powder-coated steel, and treated wood, all chosen for their ability to resist wear and tear caused by exposure to rain, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations.

Safety is another priority for schools, particularly when it comes to outdoor furniture. You want to be certain that picnic tables are safe for students to use, and that they meet all relevant safety standards to prevent injuries during daily activities.

Our picnic tables are designed with smooth finishes and rounded edges to minimise the risk of cuts, scrapes, or bruises.

Finally, schools often operate within strict budgets, and purchasing decisions need to deliver the best value for money. Balancing quality, durability, and cost-effectiveness can be challenging, but AMV Playgrounds offers playground furniture and equipment that allows you to make smart investments without sacrificing quality.
