STREET FURNITURE
Taking the office or classroom outside Whilst all parts of the UK may not have a year-round climate that makes outdoor working and learning practical all of the time , the pandemic has encouraged more of us to try these activities outdoors as much as we can . Equipping spaces practically is important to make this possible , not least with canopies that are fit for purpose .
As experts in canopy and walkway design , manufacture and installation , Bailey Street Furniture Group is ideally positioned to help bring new purpose to outdoor spaces . Sheltered from the elements with fixed or movable seating and tables , a courtyard , for example , can become a functional learning or work space . Bailey Street Furniture Group will help you get the local wind and snow loadings correct , of course , and with a wide variety of design options available including bespoke solutions , an additional outdoor resource is easily within reach .
Accessibility and inclusivity Urban design and streetscapes are being transformed in terms of their accessibility for all , driven by the more stringent requirements of the bolstered Disability Discrimination Act ( DDA ). This is something every urban designer or client will have at the top of their agenda , ensuring there is no risk of excluding anyone from enjoying a public space regardless of their disability or impairment .
This is an area where Bailey Street Furniture Group can help . Its street furniture design support and wide range of products helps designers maintain their design intent and vision whilst optimising accessibility . Take the Plateau I bench , for example , which offers a clean design with open ended spaces to accommodate wheelchairs at either end for a DDA-compliant , long term outdoor seating solution .
Sports and play equipment Where space allows , why not consider developing an outdoor space with equipment for sporting activity or play ? Solutions available from Bailey ’ s AMV Playgrounds division provides expertise in all aspects of design for play in the public realm , including trim trails and table tennis , plus more comprehensive facilities including multi-use games areas ( MUGAs ). This approach is all about making fitness fun and making sure these activities can be provided outdoors as much as possible
