Outdoor seating for children needs to be robust, safe and appropriate for everyday use. The Rainbow is designed as a children’s picnic bench, offering a junior-height seating solution that supports comfortable use in playgrounds and outdoor activity areas.
It is commonly specified for:
• Primary school playgrounds and courtyards
• Nurseries and early years settings
• Public parks and play areas
• Outdoor classrooms and learning zones
• Visitor attractions with family facilities
• Community recreation spaces
As a practical school picnic bench, it creates a dedicated seating area that supports supervision and structured outdoor use.
Durable Timber for Outdoor Environments
The Rainbow picnic bench is manufactured using FSC planed treated softwood. FSC certification supports responsible sourcing, while timber treatment helps improve resistance to decay and weathering in outdoor settings.
Key benefits include:
• FSC timber for sustainability-led projects
• Treated softwood for improved outdoor durability
• Smooth, planed finish suitable for children’s environments
• Strong construction for everyday playground use
For sites where timber is preferred over plastic, this provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to a recycled plastic picnic bench, while maintaining a traditional picnic bench aesthetic.
A Proven Format for Junior Outdoor Seating
The Rainbow is based on a classic A-frame structure, a long-established format for picnic seating. This design provides strength and stability, making it suitable for regular use in busy school and park environments.
The A-frame design supports:
• Stable seating for group use
• Practical durability in public settings
• A straightforward, recognisable picnic bench form
• Efficient use of space in playgrounds and courtyards
As a junior unit, it is designed to suit younger children while providing a robust seating point that remains reliable over time.
The Rainbow picnic bench is well suited to environments where seating is required for both play and learning. It provides a practical base for:
• Outdoor craft and activity sessions
• Group reading and learning tasks
• Snack and lunch breaks
• Informal social seating in playgrounds
Its bright finish helps create a welcoming and child-friendly atmosphere, making it a strong choice for sites that want a more engaging alternative to standard outdoor furniture.
The Rainbow picnic bench is frequently installed in:
• School playgrounds and early years areas
• Outdoor learning spaces and forest school settings
• Public parks with children’s play provision
• Family visitor attractions and leisure destinations
• Community centres and recreation grounds
Its timber construction and strong A-frame design make it suitable for regular outdoor use, while its colourful finish supports a more playful environment.
For larger schemes, the Rainbow picnic bench can be installed alongside other outdoor site furniture such as:
• Junior seating units in alternative materials
• Litter bins and recycling bins to support cleanliness
• Benches for staff, carers and visitors
• Cycle parking stands near school entrances
This supports a cohesive outdoor environment that provides seating for both children and adults.
