Picnic Tables for Schools & Childcare Centres — Auscraft Furniture
Picnic Tables for Schools & Childcare Centres
Schools and childcare centres have specific requirements for outdoor furniture: safety, durability, age-appropriate sizing, and the ability to withstand constant use across a full school year. Auscraft Furniture builds custom timber picnic tables for educational facilities across Australia — from single replacements to full playground furniture packages.
Kid Size & Adult Options
We offer purpose-built kid size picnic tables alongside our standard adult range. Our Kid Size Picnic Table is available in toddler, junior and school-age configurations — we recommend the right dimensions based on the age group you're buying for.
For primary and secondary school settings where both students and staff need outdoor seating, we can produce matching adult and kid size tables in the same timber species and finish — creating a cohesive outdoor environment.
Safety & Construction
Educational facility furniture needs to meet higher safety standards than residential furniture:
- No sharp edges or splinters: All timber is finished smooth and edges are rounded or chamfered
- Structural integrity: Mortise-and-tenon joinery rated for heavy use — not assembly furniture
- Non-toxic finishes: Paint and stain products used comply with Australian environmental and safety standards
- Stability: Tables are designed not to tip under lateral load — critical for child safety
Timber Choices for Schools
For school environments, we typically recommend:
- Treated Pine (painted): Most affordable, easily colour-customised to match school branding, straightforward to touch up
- Blackbutt (stained or oiled): Premium durability with a more natural appearance — popular for nature play and outdoor learning spaces
- Spotted Gum: High Janka rating means resistance to the kind of surface abuse that happens in school environments
Bulk Orders for Schools
