It is made from recycled plastic milk jugs and containers and compressed to create a durable wood-like material. <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-benefits-of-poly-furniture-for-commercial-dining-spaces\"><strong>The Benefits of Poly Furniture for Commercial Dining Spaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-durability-weather-resistance\"><strong>Durability and Weather Resistance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We have plenty of resources on our site that cover the durability and weather resistance of poly lumber. The fact that it won&#8217;t rot, crack, warp, or become home to hundreds or thousands of little bugs make it an upgrade over wood outdoor furniture. If you seek the appeal of the wooden look, poly lumber can be made to resemble wood too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poly resists moisture, mildew, UV rays, and all sorts of extreme weather. You don&#8217;t have to re-finish or seal it! Cleaning poly is as easy as water and soap! Businesses also like poly lumber over wood because it lasts up to five times longer. That&#8217;s a much better return on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-low-maintenance\"><strong>Low Maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A little soap and water is all you need to keep your outdoor poly furniture clean. Read our post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-poly-furniture\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3158\">How to Clean Outdoor Poly<\/a> for an in-depth guide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-sustainability-eco-friendly-appeal\"><strong>Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Appeal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Made from recycled plastic, outdoor poly furniture helps reduce excess landfill waste. Businesses who fancy themselves as sustainable can hang their hats on the fact that they are doing the environment a service by saving some old milk jugs and plastic containers from the dump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-comfort-customization\"><strong>Comfort and Customization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our poly outdoor furniture is available in a wide selection of vibrant colors to match any restaurant or cafe&#8217;s theme. Our top poly manufacturers lead the market in quality construction and reputation. They offer top-quality cushions, armrests, and ergonomic styles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-cost-effectiveness-over-time\"><strong>Cost-Effectiveness Over Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Quality poly furniture can come with a higher upfront cost, but the minimal maintenance required to keep it looking bright and shiny and the long-term durability make poly a better long-term investment. There&#8217;s a reason most of our commercial outdoor poly furniture comes with a five-year commercial warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-restaurants-hotels-are-making-the-switch-to-poly-outdoor-furniture\"><strong>Why Restaurants and Hotels Are Making the Switch<\/strong> <strong>to Poly Outdoor Furniture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurants, hotels, lodges, and even baseball stadiums use outdoor poly for their commercial outdoor dining or seating spaces. Poly is eco-friendly, looks great, and can withstand heavy commercial usage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are just a few examples of notable businesses\/entities that have become satisfied customers at DutchCrafters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Detroit Tigers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The University of Michigan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walt Disney World<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CBS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duke University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Smithsonian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sony Pictures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Furnishing the Detroit Tigers Stadium: A DutchCrafters B2B Project\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dppoLwHFNJU?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Read about more of our happy B2B customers at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/lprofiles.aspx\">DutchCrafters B2B Profiles page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"choosing-the-right-poly-outdoor-furniture-for-your-business\"><strong>Choosing the Right Poly Outdoor Furniture for Your Business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for more information on how to set up a proper layout for your commercial outdoor furniture or you want to learn more about the different types available, read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/commercial-outdoor-furniture-guide\/\">Commercial Outdoor Furniture Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shop our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Commercial-Outdoor-Furniture\/cat\/1130\">Commercial Outdoor Furniture<\/a> online or contact one of our trained furniture specialists to get help finding the right poly outdoor furniture for your business!<\/p>\n  <div class=\"related-post slider\">\r\n        <div class=\"headline\">Related Posts<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"post-list owl-carousel\">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"item\">\r\n          \r\n  <a class=\"title post_title\"  title=\"What Language do the Amish Speak?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/pennsylvania-dutch-the-amish-language\/?related_post_from=613\">\r\n        What Language do the Amish Speak?  <\/a>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"thumb post_thumb\">\r\n    <a  title=\"What Language do the Amish Speak?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/pennsylvania-dutch-the-amish-language\/?related_post_from=613\">\r\n\r\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2240\" height=\"1260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Amish-Language-Pennsylvania-Dutch.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"What language do the Amish speak?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Amish-Language-Pennsylvania-Dutch.jpg 2240w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Amish-Language-Pennsylvania-Dutch-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Amish-Language-Pennsylvania-Dutch-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Amish-Language-Pennsylvania-Dutch-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Amish-Language-Pennsylvania-Dutch-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Amish-Language-Pennsylvania-Dutch-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2240px) 100vw, 2240px\" \/>\r\n\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <p class=\"excerpt post_excerpt\">\r\n    This post was originally published on July 25th, 2013.
