Street Furniture

Street Furniture - More Information

It can be easy to forget that the outside of your building is the first impression a visitor or customer has of you and your business. Luckily, there are a number of street furniture options available to help you improve that first impression and make your outside area safer and more comfortable for users, too.

 Cycle Parking racks and shelters 

Installing cycle parking areas:

• Encourages healthy and eco-friendly behaviours in employees and customers 
• Helps to keep cycles safe and secure 
• Reduces the likelihood of people locking their cycles to random posts or bins, which makes the site look disorganised and can damage property 
• Shows the business cares enough about the environment to provide an alternative to driving 
• Can protect cycles from the effects of wind and rain 

Smoking shelters 

This kind of furniture benefits smokers and non-smokers alike. By encouraging smokers to use designated smoking shelters, you can prevent people congregating by your entrances and exits, which can deter non-smokers from using your business. Additionally, smokers can have shelter from the wind and the rain, improving their smoke-break experience. Finally, using a shelter in conjunction with an ashtray/cigarette bin can be key to keeping your floors free from unsightly ash and cigarette ends. 

Metal bollards 

These strong and sturdy posts are a great way of protecting buildings and personnel from the dangers of reckless drivers. Using traditional metal bollards or stainless steel bollards along the side of a footpath or pedestrian zone will minimise the risk of cars hitting staff or customers. Similarly, they can be used to great effect to prevent accidental (or deliberate) damage to property. They are also an excellent way of controlling parking areas or even restricting vehicle access.
