Partitions and Accessories for All Your Outdoor Dining Needs
Transforming Downtown Districts with Modular Fencing Solutions
SelectSpace® Partitions helps municipalities create flexible, welcoming spaces for downtown dining, community events, pedestrian areas, and seasonal programs. The modular system can be expanded, relocated, reconfigured, or stored as community needs change. Custom colors, two pattern options, and logo panels also make it possible to create a coordinated look that complements the character of a downtown district.

Make Main Street a Destination
When a municipality purchases SelectSpace® for its downtown district, it can create a consistent, attractive streetscape while providing meaningful support to the local businesses that contribute to the community's tax base. Instead of requiring each restaurant to find and purchase its own outdoor dining barriers, the municipality can provide a coordinated system that benefits participating businesses and strengthens the district as a whole.
Give Local Restaurants More Room to Serve
Modular partitions allow restaurants to create approved outdoor dining areas without taking on the full cost of a permanent installation. The additional space can help businesses accommodate more guests, adapt to seasonal demand, and make better use of the sidewalks and public spaces around them. It is a visible, practical way for municipalities to reinvest in the businesses that help sustain the local economy.
Create a Consistent Downtown Identity
A municipality-wide system creates a cohesive appearance across multiple restaurants while still allowing each business to express its individual identity. Coordinated colors, patterns, planters, and umbrellas can complement the district's character, while custom logo panels give participating businesses room to showcase their own brands. Because SelectSpace is modular, components can also be expanded, relocated, stored, or reconfigured as the downtown program evolves.
Municipalities That Love SelectSpace
Mountain View, CA
The city of Mountain View, CA, took a bold step with Castro Street. They worked an all-black SelectSpace square-weave pattern into the landscape at every restaurant on the main drag. In addition, Mountain View uses intersections so pedestrians can cross the street freely.
Grayslake, IL
The city of Grayslake is a perfect example of why modular fencing is great for municipalities. They started with a small town square and have slowly added to it. The fence, complete with laser-cut logos and planters, now lines their Main Street.
Philadelphia, PA
The City of Philadelphia utilized SelectSpace's circle pattern at Dilworth Park. The perfect complement to the year-round public arts and fountain area. The city also utilized SelectSpace's gates for easy access to certain areas in the park.
Stamford, CT
Stamford faced a unique challenge - they wanted a permanent fence feature for their main street that was both functional and beautiful. SelectSpace was the answer. Each post or planter stand features a knock-out so you bolt the fence into the ground. This gives their main street a beautiful look year-round.
Pittsburgh, PA
When the NFL Draft comes to town, you go with the #1 pick for your fencing needs - SelectSpace Partitions. SelectSpace's square-weave pattern was used on several streets and in front of many restaurants near the NFL draft site. Pittsburgh also ordered a number of Shadowspec Umbrellas to provide ample shade for all the NFL fans.
Chandler, AZ
SelectSpace doesn't have to be used year-round. The City of Chandler, AZ uses it during the holidays to surround their city center Christmas Tree. They chose a custom white powder coat and a laser-cut city logo. When not in use, city officials pack it up until next year.
