When it comes to picnic table manufacturers, Premier Polysteel stands out by prioritizing quality, safety, and durability from start to finish. Our commercial picnic tables are not only engineered to perform under heavy use in public and outdoor environments—they’re also designed with one clear goal: to bring people together in comfortable, welcoming spaces that require minimal maintenance and deliver long-term value.
While many outdoor furniture brands may focus on surface-level appeal, Premier Polysteel takes a different approach. We believe the real value lies in what’s beneath the surface—specifically, our industry-leading plastisol coating process, our high-quality materials, and our deep commitment to exceptional customer service.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the full metal picnic table manufacturing process, explain how our tables are made, and show you why we’re among the most trusted picnic table manufacturers in the country.
What Makes Premier Polysteel Different?
At Premier Polysteel, we don’t just build outdoor picnic tables—we engineer low-maintenance, long-lasting solutions for parks, schools, campgrounds, commercial sites, and other high-traffic outdoor spaces.
Our manufacturing process is built around a few core values:
- People-first design focused on comfort, safety, and community gathering
- Use of premium steel and plastisol (polyvinyl) coating for unmatched durability
- A commitment to superior customer service at every stage—from design to post-sale support
Our Manufacturing Process: Built for Performance in Outdoor Environments
Our polyvinyl-coated metal picnic tables are engineered to handle heavy wear, resist tear, and provide users with a comfortable spot to relax, gather, and enjoy their surroundings.
Here’s how we build them:
1. It Begins With Steel and Preparation
We use heavy-duty, structural-grade steel tubing as the foundation of every table. The metal is thoroughly cleaned and pre-treated to remove contaminants and ensure maximum adhesion of the coating.
2. Plastisol Dipping for Full Coverage
Unlike powder-coated or thermoplastic picnic tables, which may only coat external surfaces, we fully submerge the entire metal structure in liquid plastisol. This creates a thick, consistent, rust-proof barrier—approximately 1/8 inch thick—around every component, including table legs and support frames.
3. Oven Curing for a Bond That Lasts
After dipping, each component is oven-cured to bond the plastisol to the steel. This step ensures long-term durability, especially in outdoor spaces with harsh environments, extreme temperatures, or high humidity.
4. A Safety-First Focus
No pipe ends are exposed, eliminating sharp edges and preventing insects from nesting. The plastisol is tamper-resistant, won’t perpetuate flames, and is engineered for public use in parks, schools, hospitality settings, and beyond.
