Fibreglass Tables

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

The strongest tabletops that are able to take hard use is the Fibreglass Tabletop. Combine it with a thick-walled resin base made at Pride Casual Furniture, and you have a strong, stable and heavy table that will easily outlast the competition.

Poolside Furniture

Resort sunlounges with 1800 table and Queenslander chairsA small resort wanted some poolside furniture that looks good, lasts a long time, commercial grade, but not too expensive.
I think it fits the grade

Pool table

Monday, March 31st, 2008

If you are looking for a pool table, then we can offer several options. The heavier fibreglass table is best for toughness, resistance to weather and stability in high winds etc. Some customers replace the fibreglass with werzalit tables to reduce the price slightly.
Our resin tables are hardy & lightweight, and kwila or teak tables are other options.
All varieties come in dining height or side (coffee tables) as well, and you can have a pool table to sit any number up to 10 people.

Clearance sale

Preloved chairs
We have some chairs that are taking up too much space at the moment.
They will be of value to Caravan parks or some resorts locally. Any worn-out slings have been replaced, and broken fittings repaired.
It’s a good opportunity to fill in some empty space around the pool, or even have as spares for later.
At only $15, it is less than the price of replacing a sling.
Anyone can buy them; business or household.

Body Corporate Committees

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

My contact is nearly always the manager of a resort, or building, and they are the ones tasked with maintenance and repairs etc., and they usually know what works and what doesn’t.
You would think that b/c committees would listen to that experience when choosing new poolside furniture, and choose products that make sense over the long term.
Sadly, no.
I’ve just had a manager ring one day to place an order for some sunlounges that the b/c had agreed to purchase, and then he’s been placed in the embarassing position of having to ring me again to say that one of the b/c members found a cheaper lounge at some store in another area, and they are going to purchase them. It wasn’t even in the same league of suitability, but it was cheaper, so it must be a better choice…………..
I can get them too, aaand I have a cheaper price on them, so I sent off another email detailing some of the cheaper styles I can supply. It would be nice to recover the transaction, because ‘
I had spent some time on it.
I don’t like doing it though. They’re going to end up buying furniture that doesn’t meet the standard of their building, and it will cheapen the experience of guests.
But that’s not my problem…………..and that’s the end of my bitching.
I will always present what I think will be best suited, and will present the case honestly, but, in the end, the person holding the chequebook controls the decision.

Resort sunlounges

Resort Sunlounges
I delivered a few more Resort Sunlounges to the Mantra Coolangatta Resort yesterday. They are very pleased with the strength and the look of them. The patrons soon jumped on them, too. They said they were high & comfortable.

Teak and Stainless Steel

Teak Setting
We still have this Teak/Stainless setting in the showroom.
It includes a 7 pce dining suite, Serving trolley, long bench seat, Sunlounge and 2 planter boxes.
Superb quality - it just needs the right balcony.

Fibreglass Tabletops

1800 top
Fibreglass tabletops are the hardiest type for high use areas. They last for years, and polish up easily. Pictured above is a custom top and base we made for a client in Sydney.
Normally, our largest round table is 1600mm diameter. This client wanted to seat 8 - 10 people around it, so we made this one 1800mm diameter.

PVC Outdoor Furniture

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

Daydream commercial-grade sunlounge
The smooth-tube pvc furniture might not be seen in the latest “style” magazines, but it is still immensely practical furniture in certain applications. It is a low-cost alternative, important to a lot of body corporates, and with proper maintenance, will outlast any aluminium settings with ease.
The “Daydream” pictured above is strengthened in the side rails and legs for commercial use, and we supply it with a double layer of mesh for extra strength and reduced sagging.
Breakages are rare, and we can easily repair as needed.

Balcony Furniture

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Sunset Chair
The Sunset chair is often chosen because it looks lighter, and maybe smaller. In fact, it’s almost exactly the same size as the Queenslander, but the lower back and the cut-outs on the sling gives that impression. It is made from the same fluted resin tube, and has all it’s advantages of no-rust stability.

Resort Furniture

4 Queenslanders, 1200 diam table & Resort Lounge
The fluted Resin range of outdoor furniture is ideal for resort living, whether its furniture for the Balcony or the pool. This setting is going on to a sunny roof area in a Kingscliff resort. It shows 4 Queenslander chairs around a 120cm diameter table with a Resort Sunlounge. They have plenty of space for more if needed, but it will be ideally placed. The Resort is seaside, and open to strong winds at times, so the weight & stability will be needed. Even here, we give a 10 year warranty on the frames. I deliver tomorrow.

 Pretty good, huh!!

 

Custom Tabletops

Customise your Tabletops
Some Restaurants or resorts could be interested in custom designed tops for their dining room or balconies or common areas. There is no minimum number required, but 50+
becomes more economical.

Resin sunlounges

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

resin sunloungesThese have been the most popular sunlounges this year, and most seem to be choosing the plastic slat variety. I would personally go for the slings in preference, but we give people what they want. The choice of colours is really good, and they are a well-made lounge. I’ve been sending them to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne (do they get enough sun?? ;-)).

Beach wheelchair

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

Wheelchair for the beachOne of the Resort managers, Brian, has a disabled daughter who really enjoys getting down to the beach, and he was given this to try out. Unfortunately, some of the young guests thought it was pretty good too, and left it on the beach after breaking the foot-rest. A bit tricky, but I repaired it today. I hope she can frolic in the water again soon.
