Somersby Falls National Park

PROJECT: Custom galvanised steel and timber picnic seating fabrication CLIENT: Somersby Falls Picnic Area SCOPE OF WORKS: Design, fabricate and install 26 custom picnic seating pieces with spotted gum timber tops

Park Furniture Australia was thrilled to be a part of the Somersby Falls Picnic Area upgrade project, a picturesque destination within Somersby Falls National Park, NSW. Known for its lush rainforest setting, cascading waterfalls, and accessible walking tracks, this picnic area provides the perfect escape for families, school groups, and visitors seeking tranquillity. When tasked with the upgrade project, we were determined to deliver outdoor furniture solutions that seamlessly complemented the natural beauty of the area while meeting the high expectations of the client.

After a competitive tendering process, Park Furniture Australia secured the project, supplying and installing premium outdoor furniture that aligned with the specifications provided. The scope of the project included the delivery of eight custom picnic tables, sixteen table seats, and two sunbeds, all crafted with durability and style in mind to enhance the user experience at this popular picnic spot.

The designs chosen for the project featured hot-dipped galvanised steel frames, ensuring longevity and resistance to the elements in an outdoor environment. To maintain a natural aesthetic that blended with the lush rainforest surroundings, the tabletops and seats were crafted from spotted gum timber. This premium Australian hardwood was meticulously sanded and finished with top-quality oil, highlighting its natural beauty while providing long-term protection. Each setting was custom-made to meet the specific requirements outlined by the customer, ensuring both functionality and visual appeal.

Our team ensured that the furniture was delivered and installed before the picnic area’s reopening, coordinating closely with project managers to meet deadlines and maintain quality standards. Installation was executed with precision, taking care to integrate the furniture seamlessly into the existing landscape of the picnic area. The end result was a revitalised space that not only offered comfortable and functional seating options but also enhanced the natural charm of the location.

The customer was highly impressed with the outcome, praising the quality and craftsmanship of the delivered furniture. The feedback reinforced our commitment to providing custom outdoor furniture solutions that balance durability, aesthetics, and environmental sensitivity.

Somersby Falls Picnic Area now boasts an upgraded outdoor furniture offering that matches its serene rainforest environment, ensuring visitors can enjoy their picnics and relaxation in comfort and style. Whether it’s families gathering for a weekend outing, school groups exploring nature, or visitors with limited mobility enjoying the accessible facilities, the picnic area now provides enhanced functionality and a welcoming atmosphere for all.

At Park Furniture Australia, we are proud to contribute to projects like these, delivering premium, tailor-made outdoor furniture solutions that bring people closer to nature while standing the test of time. This project reflects our dedication to quality craftsmanship, customer satisfaction, and the seamless integration of design into the natural world. We look forward to seeing Somersby Falls Picnic Area continue to serve as a beloved destination for years to come.
