Beer Garden Hire Guide
Pubs, hotels and bars hiring furniture for outdoor events, seasonal pop-ups or terrace expansion. This guide covers the most practical options and what to consider before you order.
The most practical option for traditional beer garden seating. Each 2m set seats 6–8 guests. Galvanised steel frame with UV-stabilised plastic panels — the finish does not corrode or fade like painted timber.
One practical consideration: beer bench sets do not stack. Each set occupies its own floor footprint in storage. If you are hiring a large number for a one-off event, check you have enough vehicle space to return them after.
For a more designed terrace look — boutique pubs, hotel gardens, bar terraces — Tolix-style chairs paired with full steel tables give a different aesthetic. The Tolix chair stacks to 8 high, which is useful for clearing quickly between events. Both carry a powder-coated finish and handle outdoor use well.
A 3m × 3m gazebo covers a single 2m beer bench set with clearance on three sides. A 3m × 6m covers two bench sets side by side, or works as a bar servery shelter for seasonal trading.
On hard standing (paving, tarmac), use 15kg weight bases — four per 3×3 frame, six per 3×6. On grass or soft ground, anchor spikes can be used through the leg feet. See the Gazebo Guide for full assembly and anchoring detail.
Both heater types run on 13kg LPG propane — no mains electricity required.
Keep a minimum 600mm clearance from combustible materials (canopies, parasols, fabric windbreaks). See the Heating Guide for coverage figures.
Folding chairs are useful for quiz nights, outdoor screenings and garden events where you need temporary additional seating above your normal capacity. They stack flat, deploy fast, and available in black and white. They are not a replacement for bench sets in day-to-day use, but they extend capacity quickly for one-off occasions.
