Sexy Benches


Most of the time benches are just there. When you are taking a walk on your favorite trail, going to your favorite restaurant or strolling down main street. You probably have walked by more benches in your life without paying them any attention.

The great thing about life is that once in a while you get a surprised. Sometimes surprises are good and make you take notice. Furniture Leisure sells commercial benches all over the country. Most uses are pretty mundane such as bus stops, walking trails, city streets, dog parks, and theme parks. Normally you see a bench we have sold and keep on going without much thought.

However, we received this picture of a bench we sold to somewhere USA. Don't know where it is or who she is but it caused us to take notice. We thank her for a moment of fun. People make life interesting. Next time you see a bench take a pose and send us your interesting pictures to add to our post.

Wooden Picnic Tables


Our wooden picnic tables are very popular, offering economy and function. All wooden picnic tables are ACQ (non-arsenic) treated reducing any material rot due to climate or insects. These wooden picnic tables will initially have a greenish tint that will age to a silver gray. Most frames are galvanized to reduce rust and corrosion.

Many can come equipped for a surface mount or in ground mount. A variety of them are made of redwood and coated with a sealer. The sealer gives it a natural color and preserves the material. It is necessary to re-coat it periodically to maintain the great look of the wooden picnic tables.

Contemporary Wooden Picnic Tables
A picnic table (or sometimes a picnic bench) is a modified table with benches expressly for the purpose of eating a meal outdoors (picnicking). In the past, picnic tables were typically made of wood, but modern tables can be made out of anything from recycled plastic to brushed metal. Picnic tables have been used for centuries and by people all over the world. The most popular form of picnic tables are wooden. Wood picnic tables have many benefits but also carry some weaknesses.

The type of wood used makes a big difference in the quality of the table, and how long the table will last. Wood tables do require a medium amount of maintenance including some soap and water occasionally. If wood tables are left out without any care they will begin to mold and the wood will start to discolor and lose its form. Warping is a major problem associated with wooden picnic tables. In order to help combat the problem many manufacturers are using pressure treated wood.

Over 70 years ago, Dr. Karl Wolman invented the process of infusing preservative deeply into wood products. Today, a giant industry has grown up around his quest to invent a wood that can last forever. Pressure treating is a process that forces a chemical preservative deep into the wood. The wood product is placed into a humongous cylindrical holding tank, and the tank is depressurized to remove all air. The tank is then filled with the preservative under high pressure, forcing it deeply into the wood. The tank is then drained and the remaining preservative reused.

The wood is removed from the tank and prepared for shipment to your local lumberyard. This process helps protect the wood from insects, vermin and fungus giving it an additional 20 years of service.The frame is also important when selecting which table will work best for you. Generally speaking picnic table frames are either bolted together or welded together. The welded style provides a little bit of additional strength. Also the size of the tubing of the frame makes a big difference. Picnic table frames are either 1 and 5/16” or 2 and 3/8”. This give you a couple options to help fit the budget.

Vinyl Plastic Picnic Tables


Vinyl Plastic Picnic Tables are a new and exciting way to provide value and picnic table functions for many projects. Vinyl plastic is extruded with inner structure for strength. They are light weight and easy to assemble. Cleaning is remarkably easy just wiping off with soap and water. The material is made to resist UV damage and made in the USA for quality.

These products have a 20 year warranty so customers can be confident they will last for years serving many picnic functions. They are made in the traditional style with attached seats. Like the rest of our picnic tables, vinyl plastic picnic tables can be ordered in a child size. These tables are just many options made today that are a benefit to our environment making a responsible “green” purchase.

Thermo Plastic Picnic Tables


Thermo Plastic Picnic tables offer the smoothest and most beautiful plastic coating available. The plastic is electro-statically applied and baked on the steel to completely cover the surface. This gives a strong bond with a high gloss to give a long lasting finish. One characteristic of this finish is that it is resists vandals’ graffiti. WD-40 can be sprayed on paint removing vandals’ marks. Schools appreciate this product for that reason as well as the many colors available.

Choose from the popular round, square or traditional rectangular shapes. The walk-thru frame gives easy access without stepping over the seat to sit. Generally a six foot picnic table will seat six adults while an eight foot table will seat eight. Children sizes are also available. The round and square table will seat eight adults. Matching trash receptacles are made to compliment your public areas. Thermo Plastic picnic tables offer a great product at a great price.

Public Park Benches



A public park bench is a welcome sight along a walking path or trail. Public park benches are just a nice place to rest. Think about the gardens, walking paths, bike paths, park trails and rest stops where these benches are used. Concrete, recycled plastic, resin, wood, plastic coated steel and aluminum materials are all commonly used for a good sturdy bench.

Many benches have black, green or brown frames to blend them in the to background scenery. Like many site amenities people take benches for granted expecting them to show up on the trail for rest and relaxation. I have seen log benches where a tree has been cut in half and creative molds at Disney with Mickey Mouse, or Goofy plastic benches at theme parks. Universal studios and Sea World have their own special benches.

You just can’t beat a good bench! Trail Benches, Park benches, theme park benches, garden benches, street benches, sports benches and church benches are as common as a hotdog on 4th of July!

Picnic Tables made from Recycled Plastic


Recycled plastic Picnic Tables are some of the newest styles for Parks, schools, government facilities and office buildings. Available in natural colors, they blend in with the environment and look like wood picnic tables. The material reuses plastic which helps reduces the amount of natural resources used and makes use of materials that used to be thrown away as garbage. We offer many different sizes and styles to accommodate customers’ needs.

ADA needs are met by wheelchair accessible models. Picnic tables come in traditional rectangular sizes with galvanize steel frames. Other styles are made from complete recycled plastic lumber. All styles use either stainless steel hardware or zinc coated bolts to minimize any corrosion for years of use. Recycled plastic does not need painting, will not crack peel or splinter making it a great choice for picnic table.

Recycled Plastic Adirondack Chair
An Adirondack chair (or in Canada, a Muskoka chair) is a type of chair used primarily in an outdoors setting. The first Adirondack chair was designed by Thomas Lee in 1903. He was on vacation in Westport , New York and he needed outdoor chairs for his summer home. He tested the first designs on his family. The original Adirondack chair was made with eleven pieces of wood, cut from a single board. It had a straight back and seat, which were set at a slant to sit better on the steep mountain inclines of the area. It also featured wide armrests which became a hallmark of the Adirondack Chair.
Today's Adirondack chairs usually feature a rounded back and contoured seat. The style has also been translated to other pieces of furniture, from gliders to love seats and benches. Some modern Adirondack chairs can be made out of recycled plastic lumber in addition to wood. Adirondack chairs are becoming popular as outdoor seating at cafés, because the flat armrests are suitable for setting food and beverages on, making it possible to provide individual seating without using tables.

The recycled plastic that is used in the commercial industry for Adirondack furniture is made of a recycled plastic polymer that is unaffected by rain, sun, mildew, snow, saltwater and even chlorine. The color is throughout the plastic lumber piece helping to preserve the color. The recycled plastic is also UV protected.
Caring for your Adirondack recycled plastic chair is simple and easy. Generally they can be cleaned quickly and easily with just some soap and warm water. If necessary you can use a 1/3 bleach 2/3 water solution for tough stains and will not have to worry about damaging your chair. Another popular method for cleaning is using a pressure washer. Just be sure not to exceed 1500psi.

Recycled plastic Adirondack furniture has grown into a full product line. There are many different products that incorporate the design of the Adirondack chair. In addition to the Adirondack chair there is also the Adirondack ottoman, Adirondack Rocker, Adirondack Bench, Adirondack Double Rocker, Shell Adirondack chair, Curved Back Adirondack, Adirondack Glider Bench, and an Adirondack Glider chair.

Adirondack can be used in all 50 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and during any time of the year.

Pet Waste Receptacles


Dog Poop pick up, Pet waste Station, Pet waste pick up, doggy poop pick up and many more of these terms were foreign to most of us until recent years. In the 60’s and even the seventies and the 1980’s pets pretty much ran free to poop where they wanted. With the exploding population and the increase of Multi-housing neighborhoods we have experienced the need to pick up after our dogs to prevent nasty accidents.

If you do a search on the web you will find words like pooper scooper, dog poop bags, doggy do, dog dirt and pet litter. In the age of political correctness it is difficult to figure out what to call dog feces any more. However, when you step in it good old straight talk language will surface……. Aw Dog Dirt! or Damn I stepped in Dog litter!----I doubt it…Just Dog Sh­­_t! Will do.

Even though we have developed this new vocabulary I will give you a clue about what people really think. Google Dog Sh_t (Results of 254 Million) Now Google Dog dirt (not even 2 Million). I think it is safe to say we will be calling a spade a spade for a while.
However, it is the aggrevation of “stepping in it” that really drives the dog pick up business. Now it is the law in many places to pick up after pets. Consider the new phenomenom of Pet parks.
Many of us enjoy the companionship of pets. In fact, according to a 2002 survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, 62 percent of American households include pets. These animals don't ask for much, just a short list of basics such as food, shelter, veterinary care, and, of course, our companionship and love. Pets offer far more in return, teaching us about love, improving our emotional and physical health, and providing us with unconditional affection and friendship.


Parks and Recreation Departments around the country now welcome you and your dog to enjoy the vast amount of park space provided for you and your pet. However dog parks, require you to have your dog on a leash at all times and of course clean up after your pet. That’s where the new dogipot pet waste stations are useful. This is a system that has the dispenser for dog poop bags, a sign for leash instructions and a covered waste container to dispose of the dog dirt. It is the responsible thing to do and in many cases it is the law. Dogipot has designed a pet waste container convenient to the dog owner by providing the litter bags and the waste station for the disposal of the dog poop. Because dog poop can transmit diseases to children and other pets we must clean up after our pets.

You will find the dogipot pet waste stations in county or state parks and beaches. And now some motels and hotels resorts are pet friendly too. Condos and Home owners associations are also providing dogipot waste stations for home owners to walk their dogs and help keep their lawns clean when walking their dog in the neighborhood. You will find these at rest stops when traveling in your car.
The dogipot dispensers come in a 10 gallon steel receptacle with an aluminum bag dispenser. You can also purchase the new dog valet polythene receptacle. The dogipots come with accessories such as the on leash or off leash signs. There is also a small wall or post mounted bag dispenser that comes with bags and liners for the receptacles.

The tops are semi-solid and can be easily cleaned to keep them looking new.



Usually weighing over 250 pounds, they are not easily moved by vandals. Also, the tops and seats deter graffiti as they do not provide as solid surface to write on. Plastic coated steel is sometimes referred to as plastisol. The steel frame is dipped in the plastic to fully encase the metal to make a beautiful, durable and long lasting finish.

A picnic table (or sometimes a picnic bench) is a modified table with benches expressly for the purpose of eating a meal outdoors (picnicking). In the past, picnic tables were typically made of wood, but modern tables can be made out of anything from recycled plastic to brushed metal. Because of their inherent durability (due to being outdoors constantly), they are often used for a myriad of other purposes, such as a sawhorse.



In contemporary usage, picnic can be defined simply as a pleasure excursion at which a meal is eaten outdoors, ideally, taking place in a beautiful landscape. Picnics are often family-oriented but can also be an intimate occasion between two people, a romantic picnic, or a large get together, company picnics and church picnics.



On romantic and family picnics a picnic basket and a blanket are usually brought along. Outdoor games or some other form of entertainment are common at large picnics. Large picnics can also be referred to as barbeques.



Formerly, picnic meant a potluck, an entertainment at which each person contributed some dish to a common table for all to share. The first usage of the word was traced to a 16th century French text, describing a group of people dining in a restaurant who brought their own wine. The word picnic is based on the verb piquer which means 'pick' or 'peck' with the rhyming nique meaning "thing of little importance".



The 1692 edition of Origines de la Langue Françoise de Ménage, which mentions 'pique-nique' as being of recent origin, marks the first appearance of the word in print. The word picnic first appeared in English texts in the mid-1700s, and may have entered the English language from this French word or from the German Picknick.



Article by John Gravlee of Furniture Leisure, Inc. . Mr. Gravlee is the President and has been involved in furnishing properties with outdoor needs for 25 years.



Picnic Parks are universal. Every country has parks for people to enjoy the outdoor dining in favorable weather. In America the National Recreation and Parks Association includes manufacturers of park equipment such as picnic tables.



Every state has parks with picnic tables. Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming are states with Picnic tables in use for picnics. Major Cities such as Miami , Orlando , Jacksonville , Baltimore , Boston , New York , Washington , Seattle , Chicago , Denver , New Orleans , Dallas , Houston , Los Angles, Las Vegas , San Diego , Sacramento , Atlanta , Charlotte , Raleigh , Greensboro , Minneapolis , Milwaukee , Lafayette , Philadelphia , San Francisco all are major cities with many parks with picnic tables for recreation.



Not only do the Parks use picnic tables, but many companies use picnic tables for employee dining. They are used outdoors as well as indoors. Features such as durability, style, flexibility and various sizes are reasons they are used.



A picnic table is one of the most widely used products for leisure as well as business dining functions.



Companies such as General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Haliburton, The Kroger Co, Cardinal Health Inc, State Farm Insurance, Hewlett-Packard Co, International Business Machines Corp, Time Warner Inc, Costco Wholesale Corp, Johnson & Johnson, SBC Communications Inc, Lockheed Martin Corp use picnic tables and many more.

Today as people deal with energy costs they enjoy the ambiance of there own home for entertaining and leisure activities. Swimming pools are found in many coastal areas in the south where year round outdoor socializing with neighbors and friends is more frequent. A beautiful patio set not only enhances the value of the home but serves as a center for leisure activities.



Southern hospitality is generally thought of as a standard and even a part of the culture in the US. Many of the shows on the food channel like Paula Dean are centered around food, fun and sitting down at a patio table to eat. Furniture Leisure features industry leaders like Telescope and Polywood that are innovators and make their furniture in the US. Tables and chairs are available in many styles, materials and colors to compliment the most discriminating properties.



Commercial resorts, hotels, timeshares and hospitality providers understand the attraction of a beautiful patio set as well. While they must be aware of the public use demands, them also require an attractive well made furniture set. Cast aluminum is popular for bistro settings and upscale restaurants. This furniture is ornate and can provide a European ambiance to any café or restaurant. Aluminum will not rust and can tolerate the most extreme climates for year round enjoyment.

Albertsons, Kroger, Winn Dixie, Target, Sears, Kmart, Ace Hardware, Lowes, Sam’s Club, Costco B J’s, and Home Depot are filling their stores with patio furniture. Some of these businesses have nothing to do with furniture. The primary reason is purchasing agents for the large companies buy items from China and most if not all of this furniture is made in China. The benefit to the customer, Cheap patio furniture. The downside for the customer is, cheap patio furniture. Our store often receives calls to have piece replaced that have failed or broken. The furniture falls into the category of “bic” furniture; meaning that it is a throw away when it breaks.



Patio furniture is also a huge USA domestic business. The patio chaise lounges, tables and chairs are more expensive. However, they usually hold up for years. One structural difference is that made in USA patio furniture use little or no steel in their construction. This determines whether you will have pools of rust on your pool deck. Cast aluminum or tubular aluminum is used with stainless steel as the predominant frame materials. Cast iron is used sometimes for bench frames. Fabrics are also milled in the USA for these companies to provide sling and vinyl materials.



Chairs, tables, chaise lounges, bar stools, ottomans, outdoor sofas and chairs are staples of patio furniture. Outdoor wicker is becoming popular for outdoor sofas, outdoor loveseats with cushions.

Styles of Park Benches


A park bench is a welcome sight along a walking path or trail. Park benches are just a nice place to rest. Think about the gardens, walking paths, bike paths, park trails and rest stops where these benches are used. Concrete, recycled plastic, resin, wood, plastic coated steel and aluminum materials are all commonly used for a good sturdy bench.



Many benches have black, green or brown frames to blend them in the to background scenery. Like many site amenities people take benches for granted expecting them to show up on the trail for rest and relaxation. I have seen log benches where a tree has been cut in half and creative molds at Disney with Mickey Mouse, or Goofy plastic benches at theme parks. Universal studios and Sea World have their own special benches.



You just can’t beat a good bench! Trail Benches, Park benches, theme park benches, garden benches, street benches, sports benches and church benches are as common as a hotdog on 4th of July!

Outdoor Trash Cans


Trash Cans, Trash Receptacles, Trash Bins, Trash Containers—what ever you call your collection containers for your trash, we have a solution. Plastic, Steel, Fiberglass, Wood, Concrete, and Plastic coated steel (plastisol) covers all commercial needs.



We service shopping centers, Cities, Office buildings, Stadiums, Parks and more. Whether you need a heavy duty steel trash can or a light duty plastic container, Furniture Leisure is the place for reasonable prices and excellent service. Let us supply your trash and garbage collection needs.



Outdoor Trash Cans
Outdoor Trash Cans are one of the most abundant amenities for cities, Parks, Industrial buildings, Office buildings and more places where garbage can accumulate. Generally speaking Outdoor Trash Receptacles are made in as many sizes types and styles as there are places to put them.
If you visit an industrial building like Wal-Mart, General Electric, AT&T, Ford, Toyota , Nissan, Boeing or Northrop Grumman you might find concrete, steel, plastic, recycled plastic, wood or stone clad trash cans. The size likely ranges from 22 to 55 gallons. The size depends on what type of garbage is expected. Industrial trash and garbage will vary depending on the level and type product manufactured. Also, many industrial facilities have eating areas and even restaurants. These areas require trash cans that can collect garbage efficiently without spilling and contaminating clean areas.




Office buildings like the Sears tower, Empire State Building , City Hall USA will generate a lot of paper trash and refuge that is usually dry but bulky. Paper shredders have created a new trash product that must be collected. Large steel, concrete or decorative plastic containers are used in common areas. The larger size reduces the number of collection times saving money. Liners are generally used to keep the receptacle clean. The liners are lighter inserts and usually are made of plastic. Occasionally galvanize steel is used for wet or heavy duty collection areas.



Restaurants have there own special needs. McDonalds, Burger King, Checkers, Wendy’s, are fast food and have different needs. The Cheesecake Factory, Outback, Carrabbas, Chili’s, Applebee’s or Disney Restaurants have their own needs for garbage removal. Upon entering a restaurant or public facility you will almost always find a trash can for trash people bring with them. In the cooking area there will be receptacles for unused food and soiled paper products. Here the aesthetics are not as important as the function. Sometimes lids are used to guide the trash into the can as in a public restroom. Other style lids will have doors to keep insects from flying in and out.



Stadiums and arenas are also areas that trash has disposal needs. The parking lot trash cans may even advertise and carry a logo for a team or just ad space. Throughout the facility there are garbage cans of all types for discarded paper, food and waste.



National, Public Municipal, and County Parks need trash cans that can keep out the animals and the trash in the cans. Usually they will have some type of top. It is good to mention that all commercial trash receptacles must consider flame resistant properties as people negligently throw cigarettes that may cause fire into trash cans. Then there is us, the public.



Humans are extremely destructive so garbage cans must be tough and heavy duty for public use. These are just a few of the Outdoor Trash Can needs.

Outdoor Garbage Cans

Restaurants have there own special needs. McDonalds, Burger King, Checkers, Wendy’s, are fast food and have different needs. The Cheesecake Factory, Outback, Carrabbas, Chili’s, Applebee’s or Disney Restaurants have their own needs for garbage removal. Upon entering a restaurant or public facility you will almost always find a trash can for trash people bring with them. In the cooking area there will be receptacles for unused food and soiled paper products. Here the aesthetics are not as important as the function. Sometimes lids are used to guide the trash into the can as in a public restroom. Other style lids will have doors to keep insects from flying in and out.



Stadiums and arenas are also areas that trash has disposal needs. The parking lot trash cans may even advertise and carry a logo for a team or just ad space. Throughout the facility there are garbage cans of all types for discarded paper, food and waste.



National, Public Municipal, and County Parks need trash cans that can keep out the animals and the trash in the cans. Usually they will have some type of top. It is good to mention that all commercial trash receptacles must consider flame resistant properties as people negligently throw cigarettes that may cause fire into trash cans.



Then there is us, the public. Humans are extremely destructive so garbage cans must be tough and heavy duty for public use. These are just a few of the Outdoor Garbage Can needs.
