Picnic Tables, Benches and Playground Seating
A place to sit, snack and watch the action: tables and benches built for the playground.

- Design to install
- Free estimate
Good playgrounds have good seating. Parents need somewhere to sit within sight, kids need a table for snacks and birthday cakes and groups need places to gather.
We build and install cedar and commercial-grade picnic tables, benches and shaded seating areas for homes, schools, churches and parks.
Seating that fits
Backyards often use cedar picnic tables and built-in benches. Public spaces use commercial tables with anchors, ADA-friendly options and rugged materials.
We position seating with clear sightlines to the play area and out of the fall zones.
Comfort and care
Shade over the seating, a firm pad and a path to the play area make it easy to use. Cedar and composite resist weather, and we show you how to keep them looking good.
Commercial tables can be anchored to prevent theft and tipping.
From first call to first swing.
