Weight Limits for Commercial Picnic Tables

Commercial picnic tables are well-built to service an area for several years in nearly any weather conditions, including full sun and heavy snow. But how much weight can a commercial picnic table hold? To tell you the truth, we don’t know. There are no official weight limits for any commercial picnic table type. However, it can be estimated at 150 lbs. per foot. This includes all materials from wood to concrete. To put this into perspective, a 6 ft. picnic table can hold nearly half a ton over the span of its entire frame. The average adult takes up 1 ½ ft. of the bench. Children take up even less space. Nevertheless, there is enough support for several hefty people to sit on both sides of the picnic table simultaneously and enjoy their time outdoors without a single objection from the outdoor furniture. No matter what age, body type, or party number, if they fits, they sits!

What are the Strongest Commercial Picnic Tables?

Even though there are no official weight limits for commercial picnic tables, there are some frames built tougher than others. If you want to get even more strength from your picnic tables, consider the following options:

  • Thermoplastic - Thermoplastic steel contains the strength of the metal and is denser than other material options. The TRT-06-AB-01-000 model has a long support weld that travels along the middle of the tabletop and seats for optimal stability. 

  • Concrete - A concrete picnic table is reinforced with rebar for added robustness. The WAF3125 is well-rounded with balance and solidity.
